Overall well designed and useful. A few points for improvement: 1) blocked apps can be accessed briefly so the kid learns to use them; 2) once the screen time has been used, it is impossible to use other apps, e.g. messanger, that I would prefer to be accessible; 3) no way to configure settings in bulk, e.g. configure the same time limit for all days of the week.

The app control part is fine and seems to work quite well BUT the location tracking is a car crash. Every single time the app has a pushed update (which is a lot!) the tracking stops working until the phone with the kids app clicks through all the windows to renew permissions. This is a massive short fall in usability in my opinion and would need to be addressed in order for the app to match up to competitors. I won't be renewing this app when the subscription expires if the issue persists.

I pay for our account but it's still so user un-friendly and difficult to navigate. The idea is great but they just need to spend some time to creat an interface that's intuitive and let's you actually control in the way you need to. Please spend some time and money to upgrade the user interface!!!! it's almost useless as it is. Will certainly not renew my subscription if it stays like it is clunky and messy.
