As a teacher, I love seeing all of the 1-star reviews by so-called parents, when it's abundantly clear that adolescents are taking a turn a review writing. I'm writing this review not only to offset the kids' reviews, but because this app has been possibly the most important one we've ever downloaded. Screentime has been invaluable for our family, especially on our Android devices. We set the amount of hours/day based on our son successfully addressing his responsibilities (school, chores), and give him the freedom to do what he wants with his time. But when his time is up, it's up. There are no negotiations, no arguments. Occasionally, he'll ask for something to do that might earn him extra time, and that's always considered. It should be noted that on Apple devices, however, this app (or any other) is not nearly as efficient as on Android, which is entirely driven by Apple refusing to allow one app to control another (individually). Apple knows that your kids want iPhones because it is very hard/impossible to monitor them or control the amount of time that they are on their iPhones. Apple does not have a business interest in allowing Screentime to perform well on Apple devices. But on Android, this app shines. If you're a parent hoarse from the last shouting match you had with your child about the unfairness of having only 8 hours a day on gaming sites, then do yourself a favor and try Screentime for Android.

Come genitore preoccupato per la salute del proprio figlio, che non era in grado di gestire il tempo e i modi di un utilizzo sano ed equilibrato del suo smartphone (parliamo di 6/7 ore di media al giorno, con punte di 12/13 ore, sonno disturbato ed uso improprio durante le ore di scuola) ho trovato in ScreenTime uno strumento efficace e semplice per aiutare mio figlio

It stops my son being on his mobile phone too much, as I can control how much screen time he has, without constant discussion or arguments. A really great invention, and I hope it goes from strength to strength.

My child's behavior has worsened alot since I've used this app it's made our relationship worsen and he won't even talk to me. He moved in with his friend because of the app trust me don't get this app anyone it will ruin your relationship with your child not better it. Please take this app down so no more relationships get ruined

We're subscribers for the paid plan since december of last year and while the first 3-4 months everything was kinda working fine. From then until now it has been a plethora of problems of which the most prominents: - Parent app never managing to show with the web history - Parent app not updating with what actually the kids are using (real time or history) - Setting for blocked apps changing / not kicking in without user action - Plans to restrict access being enabled without user action (and the opposite) All in all, most of the problems seems to be related to syncing between the kids devices and parent's. At first I thought the teenager was messing around using one of us parent's device and changing his setting but now the changes are clearly not meant to be in his favour so the app even caused discussions and loss of trust between parents and kids. We have all android devices (nokia and samsungs) and the tablets are 2 kindle fire. It's not like we're having issue for some unknown device having problems. Just before renewing a month ago I got all the profile of the kids unlinked. Resetting all the links by inserting again the device code, restored them, but it's just another huge red flag of how, technically, this service is not reliable. If you want to be sure about the time your kids use their phones, take them away and explain them why / show them that there is other stuff to be done in your day, apart from staring at a screen. Also, buy a basic phone (they still exists, yes) so that, even if they try, they cannot really install anything on it due to hardware limitations.

Got this to enable my 13 yo daughter have her phone for calling, texting and listening to music without having the distraction of certain apps when it is time to do homework. We spoke about it helping her to use her time efficiently and she actually got used to it pretty easily. I think it's important for parents not to use this app as punishment, but to explain to kids that this helps them make better use of their time to get things done and then have fun during their free time when all school work is done. After a little initial confusion I find this app super easy to use. I love it!

I don't need to keep tell ing my daughter to stop usino the smart phone. After one hour she just cannot use it anyone longer. Perfect!!!

I found this app when we purchased my 12 yo son his first smartphone. This app is a godsend. I know what he is spending his time doing, and have complete control over which apps he uses.

We use this app for our 13 year old daughter's android phone and love it. The app has even helped her realize how time can fly when your surfing the Web and before you even realize it you've sucked up an hour! It's helped her be so much more concious of her time management. This app has also helped open up lines of communication about all aspects of phone use. We love it!

I'd like to stop using iaep now. Please cancel the payment.I've been paid for this month.Please stop it.I won't use it anymore.

It's been such a life saver, kids are now doing their chores and getting outside playing real games instead of their heads being stuck in a screen all day!

I've spent hours trying to fix the phone after my kid triggered some kind of "blocking" by trying to uninstall it. They support is not helpful. It should not happen. Well, it did. Twice. Happened last year as well in a different way. Now I cannot do anything on the phone as it has a screen asking for a password. Only one try at 60 minutes!!! I have the passwords saved in LastPass, so I'm sure I have them right.

I have been using this app since Jan 2017, recommended by the school. It works well on my daughter’s Samsung S5 with no problem. Somehow it will only detected and started to run the daily hour limit if my kids touch the app on their ASUS. It doesn’t make sense for the kids to voluntarily ‘activate’ the app on their devices. And the most disappointing part, it is not working on my kid’s iPhone 5s. The apps disappeared for no obvious reason, blocked and locked at the wrong time. Since I already paid for one year subscription, I keep in touch with the support team and constantly try to figure it out, but so far the same problem happened again and again. I took the iPhone from my kid to and keep it with me so that I am certain that he didn’t swap up to close the app or did anything to compromise. It didn’t work. And because of all these technical issues, it causes disappointments among my kids since one is working and the rest ‘got the freedom’. Luckily they understand why I am controlling their devices and cooperate with me. But I decided to leave Screen Time Labs and now move to Kidslox.

all apps disappeared one night (as expected) but never came back. i am absolutely sorry for installing this stupid app that doesnt allow me to access it from the device it controls so I can totally disable it. now I am waiting for the support to answer ... they say "in a few hours". the best thing is, I am on trial period and I didnt pay money for it.

I installed this on my daughters iPhone 6 because she wasn't getting homework completed... when she got her grades up I promised to delete the app so when I tried to delete it as I promised it made the phone stop working FOREVER!!!!!!!! We could not buy another phone so now our daughter is mad at me

Awful awful app Do not get it They didn’t send my password My son couldn’t use his iPad AT ALL I couldn’t erase the app I sent them 5 emails and they didn’t send the password I couldn’t use the internet to use the link to erase screen time because screen time blocked it!!!!!!!!! Awful awful APP Never never install it

Finally have control of my son's phone but in a way that he is happy with. I can control the time limits from my phone super easily. And can even control specific apps (on android version we have)
