User Reviews

Users commonly praise the app for remote monitoring and control of kids' screen time and content, including notifications and PC access. However, many reviews repeatedly mention significant reliability problems (bugs, freezes, loading issues), persistent sign-in/authentication failures, and screen-time rules that don’t reliably apply or sync. Feature gaps like per-device limits and easier approval workflows also stand out. Overall, the concept is valuable, but persistent performance and usability issues hinder daily use.
Pros
  • Remote monitoring and control of my child’s screen time and content from my iPhone.
  • Ability to edit times, block access, and approve more time with real-time notifications.
  • Helpful for providing kids with managed PC access.
  • High perceived usefulness when it works.
Cons
  • Frequent bugs and stability problems (freezes, crashes, loading issues).
  • Sign-in/authentication problems and password-reset loops (e.g., 'it's not you, it's us').
  • Screen time rules frequently don’t apply correctly or fail to sync/update (delays in approvals, limits not unlocking).
  • Missing features like per-device limits and a simpler in-app approval workflow.

The updates after a request is approved are significantly delayed. I often have to manually approve from the computer.

Worst experience trying to sign it and getting to work just to tell me try a different account even though mine was perfectly fine

This app really helps me monitor and manage my child’s screentime and the content. I dont think I could allow PC time without this!!
