I have a bad habit of binge watching content on streaming services. This app is perfect for reminding me to take breaks and limiting my overall consumption. It is easy to circumvent if you know the PIN, but I asked a family member to set the PIN and save it. It is not free, but in my opinion, it's worth it. I am happy to support the developer so they keep the app up-to-date.

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

Hi Guy, Thanks for your feedback. We will definitely consider it for future updates. TVUsage app is already compatible with the game controller. You can use the DPad in the game controller to navigate. Please drop an email to support@tvusage.app for help. Thanks

Very good. Works fine. One suggestion: allow to add apps to the same time allowed. Eg: I want to let my kids what 1 hour of tv. So, it would be good to have all streaming apps share the same time. Otherwise, If they change apps every 30 min, they will have more then 1 one allowed initially.

Thanks for your review Glaydersen 🙌 You can set screentime for TV as 1 hour which will block after 1 hour of screentime irrespective of the limitations set for each app. Please drop an email to support@tvusage.app for any help. Thanks, Bala
