Parental control app to manage screentime and improve your family wellbeing.

▶

Features & Capabilities

tvusage is a parental control and digital wellbeing app for Android TV, phones, and tablets that helps families manage screen time. Features include a 4-digit PIN to lock apps or the device, configurable screentime and usage hours, app grouping, and break times to prevent binge-watching. You can block apps, protect installs/uninstalls, and monitor daily and weekly usage habits across devices.

Optional Accessibility Service Usage: The app offers an optional Accessibility service to improve functionality on devices that restrict auto-start. It does not track or record what you type, and no personal data is collected or shared. Enabling Accessibility is entirely optional, and the core app remains fully usable without it. For assistance or feedback, contact support@tvusage.app.

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.

When I blocked YouTube, it seemed to work at first. However, the next day I found my child watching YouTube again. This has happened several times. In the TV Usage app, YouTube was still marked as blocked, but YouTube was playing on the TV. My guess is that when the TV is turned off and then turned on the next day, the TV Usage app may not start automatically with the TV, allowing YouTube to be accessed even though it is set as blocked.

انا مستخدم للتطبيق من بداية ٢٠٢٥، المطور حسن التطبيق بشكل كبير والان جميع مزايا التطبيق تعمل. استطيع ان اتحكم في وقت مشاهدة التلفاز لاطفالي. حتى من جوالي استطيع فتح التلفاز او اقفاله. لدي ثقه بان المطور سيضيف مزايا اكثر في المستقبل لذلك حصلت على اشتراك دائم.
