Screen Time App Reviews

When time is up. It just pop up time is up. It didnt lock the iPhone or iPad. The pass code is used to prevent me to use this app. Dont waste your time to download this app.

Installed app, followed directions. Timer times out and rotating bar appears and annoying sound play but you can still use all apps. It doesnt lock out anything.

My app experience level: High. Installed, set up, tested, then deleted. This app fails miserably. No way to stop it from blinking the notification. Cant do anything but shut off my iPhone to stop it. Needs major improvements. Examples: Should pop up with "time up" and a place to enter password to stop the message. Needs a tutorial section. Took a bit to figure out some features. I really need an app like this. My 9 year old is addicted to his iPod. Need a way to stop him from playing without the fighting over it.

Cant get it to stop sending notifications and it never prompts for the password to stop them no matter how many times I try to open the app. No way to cancel the timer either, looks like it lets you but then sends alerts anyway. Had to delete the app to get it to stop!

Does not work. I couldnt get it to stop! Fail!

... Because after that nothing short of completely powering off your device will stop it. It didnt lock anything out when the timer went off and only prompted for the pass code when I went into the app. Instead I got a rotating bar at the top of my screen that only stopped when I went into the app or locked my phone. Even after I deleted the app in hopes of making it stop, it kept buzzing at me! I didnt even know that was possible... Thank god powering down my phone worked, because if I had had to restore it, this review wouldnt have been as nice as it is... Too bad too. It really is a genius idea for an app

Awful. Doesnt work- had to reset my phone because the timer would not stop going off.

There are no instructions included and Ive been unable to figure out how to set the timer for anything other than ten minutes. Also the ability to continue using the device after the timer has gone off even without entering the pass code is the deal breaker. Its useless without actually doing what it says it will.

At least, it didnt for us. I installed the app thinking it was exactly what Ive been looking for to help with turn taking for my boys. Upon basic installation, the notifications for alert style were set to banners, when it really needs to be set on alerts for it to be noticeable. If not, they can continue to play with just a small flashing banner on the top. Once the notifications were set to alerts, the notifications repeat to keep the person from continuing without entering the passcode. unfortunately, they kept repeating and I was unable to enter my passcode. I was also unable to close the app at all. The only way I could proceed was to perform a hard reboot of the iPad. I would really like something like this. I think it would be the perfect timer. I look forward to an updated version. :)

Finally figured out how to use And this app Starts sending notifications and does not stop.....you have to turn off your phone to get it to stop! I deleted it!

Like everyone else, after the timer went off it kept flashing the alarm and wouldnt let me put in my password. I had to turn off my phone and then delete the app. If they can fix the bugs it would be a great app. Also, I would like it if you could set the timer for a specific time instead of 10min. I usually let my boys play for 20mins, so it would be nice to not have to restart it for them every 10mins.

Way too buggie, not enough options to do what you want. Love the idea though!

I tested this app out. While changing the time limit was easy enough to figure out, it didnt actually stop the use of other apps when time ran out. It sent constant notifications that time was up, but unless youre trying to annoy your kid out of using it past the limit, its kind of useless. It SHOULD lock the phone or require the pass code to continue using it. Overall, Id say with a few improvements, it would be an awesome app...but isnt yet.

I installed this on my iPad. It goes three seconds and stops with a crashing sound and goes to the password screen. While writing this it started in with the constant notifications. Dont bother until a new version with bugs fixed comes out.

As other reviewers have said, it doesnt lock your phone or iPad, but sends notifications that are easily ignored (if kid even notices them). So dont bother-- use the good old kitchen timer, or the timer that comes with the phones "clock" feature.

Same as most people. Crashed after 3 seconds and send a million notifications. Not worth it.

I hate this game. Whenever you start the timer, You have to stay on the app to keep it from stopping.

My screen time ran out, and now it wont stop. I tried killing the app, but it wouldnt stop. I even deleted the app, and its still going. Yeah, its annoying alright...

Saw this app on Pinterest and thought Id try it. Timer is only for 10 mins and unchangeable. When timer went off it locked up my phone completely. Had to do a hard reset. Will be deleting this app immediately.

I installed this on my ipod and iphone 4. The notification is mildly annoying, but doesnt keep you from using apps. Netflix still plays. Needs to shut down the screen completely and require a passcode when the time runs out.
