I think this apps works well, apart from the ads. This is because on any app that is in landscape mode, if an ad appears, it fills the entire screen and I cannot enter a pass code or anything to get more time. I have to exit the app, log back in, and if another ad appears, then I have to do it again. In portrait mode, the ads are very small and they are at the bottom but it is very annoying having to exit an app multiple times in order to get more time. Please fix this problem.

It's got a really simple user interface so it's easy to use. I like that it breaks down my screen time by category and app, cause i dont think of reading ebooks as "as bad" as spending 2 hours watching silly clickbait YouTube videos. Since installing I've cut down my screen time by about half what I used to get. It's also just generally interesting to know what apps I use the most. Also If you want to just listen to an app with the screen off, it does not count as screen time, which makes sense!

Very useful for actually knowing how much time you spend in a day actively using your phone. It's kinda crazy. It's definitely making me more conscientious. I also like the ability to time-limit apps for a certain total usage in a day, which helps keep me from getting stuck. Good in combination with other apps that also control when during the day you use your apps so you don't get stuck on your phone at times you typically overuse. One missing feature is ability to see 7-day usage for each app.

This is the best app I've found for limiting screen use if you're trying to cut back. It's pretty easy to turn off the limits if you know the pin, but it's a good reminder to turn it off. You can put a limit on just one app or a group. The only suggestions I have are maybe show how much time is remaining in the limits, add an optional time penalty to be able to disable the limit, and be able to set an alarm instead of a timer

Awesome usage tracker. I like that it only tracks usage that has the screen on. Music playing doesn't count toward the "screen time" if the screen is off during play while you do other things. This makes it way more accurate than other apps to determine how much you are really putting your focus on the phone.

I understand the addition of adds. However some of them are full screen literally making it impossible to access your options after going over your set amount of time, either leading to having to go to the home screen of your phone and opening the app you were using to reduce the size of the add so you can access the options or clicking on the add. Either it's a half-baked and poorly thought out implementation, or it's on purpose to drive revenue for app maker.

This is a great concept, but it needs to be configurable to allow the user to exclude apps that shouldn't count as screen time. I have a clock/alarm app that runs as a screen saver while I sleep or when the phone is charging at my desk while I work. The data from this single app swamps all the useful data that is truly screen time and obscures the data I'm interested in. Adding the app to the Always Allow List doesn't stop it from counting the time.

Screen Time has been a fantastic app so far. I've been using it for about two weeks and have had no issues. It's professionally designed and functions intelligently. There are, however, some noticeable grammatical errors. I would love to see the developers add the ability to put apps in multiple/split categories, and add the ability to create custom categories to place apps in. Once these features are added, I will change my rating to five stars.

Great to customize screen time use. I can set what categories to limit and what apps are in those categories. A good tool to help my kids learn to use screen productively but still have the tool available for school and work. I did not like the simple time limiting. I do not want them cut off in the middle of a zoom class because they used too much social media. I do think this app is a bit complicated but I played with it for a while and got it figured out.

Never actually sticks to limits. This app does an OK job of monitoring what apps are being used and for how long. But it never sticks to the limits that are set, and always lets the user go over before warning that the limit has been met, usually by as much as half. (Example, limit was set for an hour, but didn't disable screen time usage until an hour and a half.) Also, it's really annoying how the limit needs to be overridden at least twice to just get the app being used to close.
