Features & Capabilities

tvusage helps parents and legal guardians create healthier screen routines across supervised Android TV, Android phones, and tablets. Set daily screen-time limits for individual apps or entire devices, schedule allowed hours, group apps for homework or bedtime, block distracting apps, allow essential apps unlimited time, and add watch breaks for TV and video sessions.

Protect settings with a four-digit PIN, sync profiles across supported devices, and review daily or weekly app usage to better understand screen habits. Adults can also use tvusage for personal focus, rest, and bedtime routines. An optional Accessibility service supports uninstall protection and launcher override on compatible devices; these features are designed for authorized parental control and are not required for the app’s core functionality.

User Reviews

Reviews praise tvusage for strong parental controls, remote management, and a TV-focused design, including a potential lifetime purchase. However, recurring complaints center on reliability and enforcement failures, security vulnerabilities that allow bypasses, and pricing concerns with unclear licensing. Customer support quality appears inconsistent. Overall, it offers valuable features when it works, but reliability, security risk, and cost significantly impact satisfaction and adoption for families.

Pros

Comprehensive parental controls for Android TV (app blocking, time limits, monitoring).
Remote management via the companion mobile app, including remotely granting more time and unlocking apps.
Well-designed interface with regular updates and responsive developer support.
Unique TV-focused parental-control solution with a lifetime/one-time purchase option.

Cons

Unreliable enforcement: restrictions can fail to activate, unlock unexpectedly, or require manual resets.
Security/bypass vulnerabilities: locks can be bypassed by power cycles or rapid remote actions.
Pricing/licensing concerns: expensive, per-app charges, and unclear multi-device support.
Mixed or slow customer support: some users report quick help, others say they received no response.

Recent reviews

Wish I could give it 0 stars!!! Have been looking for something exactly like what this promises, but was utterly disappointed. The running app on my phone took over the phone and I had to agree to things I wasn't comfortable doing just to get to the next screen. Website specifically said it was available on devices I NEEDED control over, and that was a lie. Trying to use it on the computer when already on phone, impossible. This was after upgrading to pro, unlimited devices and use. Run!
