Am app which allows me to set timers on all devices

Right, I'm not looking for a lecture or judgement or opinions from people that don't allow their kids a device as that's really not going to be helpful.

This Christmas I really realised that we have a problem with DS (12) and two step sons who are 7 and 9. They all spend a lot of time on their screens and although they all have other interests, it was all they wanted to do on Christmas Day and although I wouldn't be bothered if this wasn't typical, it is how they are choosing to spend their time more increasingly.

We need to get back to screen time being a treat rather than a given. Now we have limits on each device, that's fine, but not perfect.

Here is my question; is there an app which will count up time spent on 3/4 devices, for example an iPhone, iPad, Xbox and PS4? I'm not sure one exists but would make this a whole lot easier if it does! If not I'll do it the old fashioned way and time myself but an app which times for me on multiple devices would be a god send. Thank you!

Hello,

We are planning on doing a piece about children and screen time as the government is debating new rules surrounding this issue. Is there any parents and their children who would be happy to speak to us about their experience?

If so please contact me on my email [email protected]

@WinoLino ourpact may do this. Would be the paid version though.
