## Description

ScreenGuide provides powerful parental controls to help you manage your child's iPhone or iPad. Set daily screen time, hide or show apps, lock devices, and filter the web to keep them safe while maintaining a healthy tech balance.

Premium features unlock up to 10 devices, scheduled Time-Outs, and customizable app lists, enabling family-wide safety with alerts and remote control.

## Review summary

ScreenGuide offers strong device-level parental controls and a solid web interface with multi-device support, but it is widely criticized for restricting use to school-owned devices, reliability and support issues, and a less intuitive setup. Users highlight its protective focus, while repeated bugs and potential bypasses hinder consistent use.

### Pros

- Comprehensive device-level parental controls (scheduling, app restrictions, timeouts, and content filtering).
- Strong web interface that makes it easy to track and manage child activity across devices.
- Multi-device support under a single plan (enroll two devices) with reasonable pricing.
- Supervision-enabled deployment via Apple's Configurator 2 to supervise devices.
- Privacy-conscious design (does not function as a tracking app) and focuses on protective controls.

### Cons

- Limited to school-managed devices; not suitable for family-owned devices as the reviews indicate, causing user confusion and reduced usefulness.
- Frequent reliability issues and glitches (sync errors, timeouts not applying, devices disappearing or becoming locked).
- Customer support is often slow or difficult to contact, with reports of poor or missing support resources.
- Onboarding and UX are not intuitive; setup and navigation can be confusing, and the GUI could be improved.
- Potential workarounds by kids (such as turning off Wi‑Fi) can circumvent time restrictions.
