The app is great and functions as intended but some times you are mid game and their time limit is about to expire. it would be really awesome if there was a button to quickly add time to an account. even 30min intervals would be fine and if the time added was temporary. how it is currently you have to dig down to each childs game time and move either the daily limit or time frame limit or both which you cant really do mid game sometimes. and once you do change it you have to remember to go back and put it back where it was. So if we could have a 1 button way to add game time it would be perfect.
Two apps??
Why do you have two apps that do the same thing?? And I got an email report today that said my kid had no online activity in the last 7 days but when I log in and check, he had 2+ hrs of Xbox gaming a couple days ago. 🤷🏼♂️
UPDATE: App logs won’t help you figure out what I described.
Good app, room for improvement.
Changed my rating as the crashing has been fixed.
Now I’m working on my wishlist.
Please make quarter hours available for time limits.
Nintendo Switch you’re able to set a time limit for quarter hours.
Screen time reminder problem
The 15mins reminder is annoying, it interrupts my gaming or work by blocking my screen, can you change it?
Can’t even start on iPhone 13
Used to work reasonably well on my OL old iPhone XS. Can’t even get past the location sharing settings in the setup sequence after installing on my iPhone 13.
Crashes
I can no longer give my child screen time as it crashes as soon as I open the app. Ridiculous!!
Crashing
Fix the app. It just crashes when you open it, ever since the last update.
Very unstable
This is a good app for monitoring and scheduling our son's screen time but is constantly crashing on all our Apple phones and tablets. Very frustrating. Have tried deleting and reinstalling the app numerous times with the same result. Perhaps an update of some kind is warranted.
Keeps crashing
Downloaded and started to use, looked promising but now crashes every time I try to use?
App Broken
App closes after 2 seconds since last update. Not possible to use currently.
