Want to stop the kid's marathon computer sessions? Do it remotely.

Works ok but for one issue

So far using this app it appears to work as intended but unfortunately when trying to shut down a system a small window pops up allowing another user to cancel the shut down before it happens. I downloaded this app to log my son off his computer as he spends too much time on it but he simply cancels the request and I'm left with still powering down my wifi as the Ultimate solution

Control your teens screentime!

This app is just what I was searching for to control my 13-year old's screentime. When he will not cease playing when told it's bedtime - Off Remote solves the problem. Likewise when seen playing games during virtual school! Straightforward to install and use. Magic!

Nag Screen Will Not Allow App To Run

It found my desktop computer just fine, but when I chose to turn it off from the iPhone app a NAG screen to buy premium would pop up! If I went to close the nag screen by tapping the X on the top right right of the screen instead of closing the nag screen, it continually popped up. Totally unusable! I was willing to pay the five bucks, but this has left a bad taste in my mouth. Pass. By the way, is it five dollars period or five dollars a month? Anyway, pass.

Rewritten with more shiny, and the same great features. Generally better looking, more modern and ready for the latest Apple Devices. Fixed display for delays
