This is the feedback thread for those MNers who tested ScreenLimit parental control app.

Here’s what ScreenLimit has to say about the app:

“ScreenLimit is a parental control app that allows parents to remotely manage their children's screen time from a smartphone, tablet or web browser on any computer.

It works on multiple devices, cross platform on Windows PCs and laptops along with iPhones, iPads, Android and Amazon devices (not Kindle Fire Kids Edition).

Parents can set a daily time allowance, instantly block access to sites, schedule times of the day when devices cannot be used, allow or block specific apps (not iOS), send their children direct messages and reward them for good behaviour. The innovative, built-in rewards function gives children the chance to earn ‘bonus’ screen time in exchange for completing tasks and household chores.

We’re a small team of dedicated parents with a mission to ensure children have a balanced childhood. If you have any issues we’re here to help and will respond quickly! Simply drop us an email at [email protected]

Testers: please answer the following questions:
• Do you think ScreenLimit could be useful for parents to manage screen time?
• How user-friendly did you find ScreenLimit?
• What did you think about the rewards system?
• What does ScreenLimit do really well?
• Are there any other features that you would like to see?

Please also add a review of the app in the Mumsnet reviews section

Non tester - Netflix is most used. The app sounds great, I definitely need to limit screen time.

Non Tester: YouTube. So pleased I found kids youtube!

grannybiker · 03/06/2017 19:18

Non tester - what is it about U tube? Why is it so engrossing to watch some older girl with an American accent unwrap some toys she should be long past playing with?
And as for watching others play computer games 0 I just don't get it?!

towser44 · 03/06/2017 19:21

Non tester. Youtube, she seems to be able to get a lot of what I would deem inappropriate material up on it!

mollymoo818 · 03/06/2017 19:23

Non tester- It has to be YouTube. They don't misuse it but I am finding it difficult to get them off it lately as they can spend hours watching videos on there.

spottypjs · 03/06/2017 19:29

non-tester definitely youtube far too much dodgy stuff on there
