To start, this app is terrible. Whenever my phone locks, nothing is ever available. I can only call and text people. At downtime, all I can do is call. During school time, I can only call. I get it, maybe I should have a limit but I have problems already, and this app doesn't help. At least let me look at photos or give me notifications. Also, the way it counts time is insane. Example, I can do something for 1 minute and look again and see i lost 3. Like, this is just idiotic... I hate it.

horrible. its super glitchy: when my time is up on an app, the next day the time will still be up. (for ex. I have a 45 min timer on a game, and I use it up, and it says come back at 7:00am, and the next day, it STILL IS TURNED OFF. counts time in the weirdest way, and will shut down the entire phone COMEPLETY. i can make emergency calls, but i can't get calls from anyone.

As a teenager that has had this app for a few years, it has the opposite effect that parents get it for. Over time there is a buildup of an almost a constant pressure to use all of your phone time. Even a little bit leftover when the downtime hits feels like a waste because even the ability to chat with a friend for a few minutes becomes extremely limited. Also, there is a reluctance in doing anything on the phone that isn't for personal activities, again because the time is a coveted resource. Edited

I am supervised, and I am mature enough to say, yes this has TOTALLY improved my screen time. It's just really laggy and doesn't work well now with it's new updates. E.g., when screen time is over, it takes about 1 minute to show the message and makes everything crash and really laggy. Also same for downtime. I also think there should be an option like: send your parents a request for screen time. Because sometimes you are not right next to them. Also, all apps close from recent centre, next day Edited

This sucks. Even if you get bonus time, it takes time even if it's off. It tracks your location ALWAYS, meaning if someone hacked your phone, which you can't protect because if controls, bing bang boom, youre in the back of a van. Looking at the lockscreen takes time, emergency call does not work, and downtime causes a full lockdown, you can't even look at notifications. This needs to be deleted. Edited
