Ratings and reviews

I bought the paid version. It was working fine, but then stopped working. Android gives a pop up to remove the given permissions, and you can remove the permissions without even going into settings. So no matter if I have disabled access to settings, the child simply removes the needed permissions. And this makes the entire thing useless. I tried to get answers from support, but no one replied. The support feature is just a standard reply put in loop.

What they don't tell you is the features on the iPhone are limited. You are unable to restrict time on specific apps, like social media. We also have it on an Android, which seems to be working okay. It does lock out the phones when there is time left. It's better than nothing, but it could be a lot better.

I bought the paid version. It's great when it works! Sometimes it doesn't register my child's device being in use. I also wish it would give the child a 5 minute warning before it shuts off, that way they can finish up what they're doing instead of it shutting down when they're in the middle of something.
