Optional Accessibility Service Usage

This app offers an optional Accessibility service to enhance functionality on certain devices:

Ensures Auto-Start: Helps launch the TVUsage app automatically when the device is powered on, specifically on devices that restrict auto-start.

Rest assured, this service does not track or record what you type. No personal data is collected or shared—its sole purpose is to improve app functionality locally. Enabling Accessibility is entirely optional, and the app remains fully usable without it.

We're always working to improve the app, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Ratings and reviews

Does the job, has good control - both schedule and total time. And easy to add more time. 2 things they could do better: 1. Allow controlling from an app on an android phone 2. Don't make the control only usable with a remote. On a shield ATV often the main usage is through a game controller, so should have worked with it too, but doesn't

Great idea, but needs work! Unfortunately, with any lag (even a tiny amount- I have a Chromecast with Google TV, so not that slow), it's very easy to bypass the pin to install apps, just by hitting install quickly enough before the pin wall pops up. My kids will figure this out instantly. If there was a way to make this app so it blocked access to the app store altogether, this might work better.

I used for 2.months and found it's very useful to control kids watching TV. Now purchased for lifetime as it's one time investment
