“Sehr gute App. Leider funktioniert es nicht auf allen Geräten (z.B. wiko k-kool).”

“Ottima applicazione per monitorare l'uso del telefonino da parte di mia figlia di 13 anni. La sua reazione all'inizio è stata molto negativa poi si è rassegnata. Ci sono molti limiti nell'uso dell'applicazione per il sistema Apple perché non ho la possibilità di scegliere le apps da bloccare e soero che questo venga migliorato al più presto; per il momento grazie perché penso che sia davvero un valido aiuto per i genitori che si trovano a fare una lotta quotidiana con i propri figli adolescenti”

“Screen time has improved my quality of parenting as a working mother. I am not always home to make sure that my kids are not spending all their free time online. It is not realistic to forbid social media these days, however it can be addictive if not controlled. My children have accepted the boundaries and it is clear that time limits are part of every day life. I no longer have to stress about how long they are online especially when I am not home. I enjoy the flexibility of the app: weekdays different than weekends, exceptions to rules, böocking certain apps, sleeptime blocker etc. Thank you to the creators of screen time!!! Recommendable!”

“Easy to handle, helps me set boundaries for screen time. The kids are not very happy about it, but they are getting used to it. It is 10x easier than me nagging for them to stop.”

“Superbe application qui permet de bien contrôler le temps de tablette de mes enfants. Alors même s'il manque encore quelques fonctionnalités qui ferait de cette app le top du top, c'est déjà un excellent moyen de contrôle. En plus, ils viennent d'ajouter une version française, le service client est disponible et à l'écoute. La 5eme étoile dès qu'un contrôle par tranche horaire sera mis en place mais c'est déjà de l'excellent travail.”

“Screen Time is great! I love it because it is so easy to use! I feel fully comfortable with leaving my children alone with their devices now thanks to Screentime and Oxbow. Once I put my settings into Screentime, I can use Oxbow to monitor what they can see and/or post on social media. This combination is fantastic!”

“Works pretty good for android. I paid for the upgrade, but saw no difference in operation. The free version is the same. I tried using the app with an iPhone 6 and iPhone 8. I had issues and contacted support. They said The app does not currently support iPhone. I asked for a refund for the service and I am still waiting on that from them. So far, after asking for the refund no one has continued to communicate with me. I selected refund within 14 days below, but I am still waiting for it.”

“It is BUGGY and the UX is questionable. Shame, as it could be really good. I can get it to work but I have to check it's doing what I want and adjust almost on a daily basis. It isn't very flexible in regard to a school week where I might relax the rules on a Friday and Saturday but tighten time management the rest of the week. I have mine set to limit school week access, restrict new apps, time manage the weekend and lights out ban to avoid overnight play. There are plenty of glitches and due to them not being solved over the last year, I will look for an alternative when my subscription runs out. FIX the glitches, manage time use over not just one, but multiple devices and you would retain me as a customer for 5 years approx, until kids 'should' be self sufficient. For the money I paid, it's just scraped an 'acceptable' from me.”

“for most androids can control screentime and block apps. But not with oppo and worse with iphone - apps get jumbled up too . The company is aware of it but can't do anything abt it quite disappointing tho ideas for blocking are good. Work on technical issues please anyone knows of any other better app?”

“I like all the versatility of screen time. I'm just starting to explore. I need to see how this works out with my son . I don't want to stop his online friendships, but he needs some limits.”

“Seems to be working well on my daughter's android smartphone. She hates it of course but it was necessary to control her screen time and to monitor her on social media. BUT - it did not work at all on my son's Iphone 5. All the apps disappeared and would not come back. We had to delete the app and won't be using it again on Apple products. Also disappointed that you cannot use on Windows PC / laptops. Would be useful.”

“I had previously used Screen Time relatively successfully (although the process of installing and pairing seems to be problematic at the best of times). However, this year I bought Premium and, for an entire month, the app didn't work properly. I was constantly in touch with customer services, which compounded the bad experience as at times they would take hours to respond on chat, at other times it would be days! I even sent an email directly through the site's contact form and although I could see that this prompted customer services to pick up the ball they had dropped, I still ended up waiting three days for a response (to the urgent-at-the-time issue of geolocation for my teenage daughter, which - in the end - I never got). When I told them I was canceling my subs, I got "Sorry for the inconvenience". I won't ever use them again.”

“Worked well on android devices, but it's pretty much useless on Apple. Doesn't show the app usage, doesnt limit the time allowed. The only item currently working is the schedule to limit when it can be used. was a huge fan of this program on android. On Apple...save your money.”

“Currently have this app and looking for a new one. My daughter basically re-starts her phone, and then uses the recall button to work her way to settings to turn it off because of the lag time before the app kicks in is very slow. It took 30 secs and I never received a message that it was turned off. It shouldn't be that easy. Costumer service was very nice, but basically told me that an app can only do so much if the child is that determined.”

“It is ironic that I am a student from TJHSST that had parents that used this app and wrote this review as poor. Notice how I used the word "had". This software has a vast amount of glitches, even on Android, including "freezing up", where the parental controls no longer seem to work until the user opens the app. This allowed me to go into Settings to block this app as a start-up app. Now, all I had to do is restart the phone and this app was no more. But don't fix it, as it is a good laugh of a product.”

“This app promises a lot, and if they could deliver without all the glitches, they would have get a five star rating from me. The glitches are too many to list, but include freezing up on the parent app, rendering it unusable for periods of time unless you turn your phone off and then back on, and seemingly randomly blocking or unblocking apps and allowing some apps to be used past the specified "bed time block". Also, one of my daughters has an iPhone and it is completely useless on her phone. On an apple device, the Screentime app with cause the whole phone to become unusable and glitchy. I can't believe they can even sell this app for iPhones... it is utter crookery. Do NOT get Screentime if you have or plan to get your child an iPhone. However, you can control another device FROM an iPhone only having to deal with the glitches listed at the beginning of this post. Very frustrating, but still useful for Android devices in a "better than nothing" sort of way.”

“We're subscribers for the paid plan since december of last year and while the first 3-4 months everything was kinda working fine. From then until now it has been a plethora of problems of which the most prominents: - Parent app never managing to show with the web history - Parent app not updating with what actually the kids are using (real time or history) - Setting for blocked apps changing / not kicking in without user action - Plans to restrict access being enabled without user action (and the opposite) All in all, most of the problems seems to be related to syncing between the kids devices and parent's. At first I thought the teenager was messing around using one of us parent's device and changing his setting but now the changes are clearly not meant to be in his favour so the app even caused discussions and loss of trust between parents and kids. We have all android devices (nokia and samsungs) and the tablets are 2 kindle fire. It's not like we're having issue for some unknown device having problems. Just before renewing a month ago I got all the profile of the kids unlinked. Resetting all the links by inserting again the device code, restored them, but it's just another huge red flag of how, technically, this service is not reliable. If you want to be sure about the time your kids use their phones, take them away and explain them why / show them that there is other stuff to be done in your day, apart from staring at a screen. Also, buy a basic phone (they still exists, yes) so that, even if they try, they cannot really install anything on it due to hardware limitations.”
