Great app, perfect for helping control screen time on our TV's, it's companion app on our phones help us remotely grant more time when we are away and we can monitor the device time usage and what apps are being used.
Amazing App for children. My kid screentime if TV is completely reduced because of this. Must to have if you want to control kids screentime
People who give this app one star reviews probably have trouble setting it up. This app works perfectly fine, it is an effective way to block some apps and time-limit others, and/or time-limit the entire device (shield tv in my case). Excellent for when you have kids.
Perfect l, does exactly as promised. Perfect to remotely unlock apps kids are trying to access. I don't have to be home to unlock. Highly recommended for monitoring / locking apps. Great support too from staff to help understand how it all works.
I'm happy with the app for the last two years. I have had run into a small issue and contacted the developers by mail and the issue got rectified immediately with new update issued on the same night.
