As a kid who’s been struggling with mental health and rely on my phone for support mechanisms such as music and comfort creators etc. This app has stopped me from accessing anything on my phone after a certain time and ever since it’s been on my phone I’ve been getting less and less sleep because I can’t have the apps I need for comfort. Also it makes kids feel like they have no control over their own devices. If you gave your kid a phone, iPad whatever, you need to have that sense of trust and if you feel the need to have this app then it takes away that bond of trust with your child and you might as well take their device away all together. I have friends with a 5 hour behind time difference and this app has made it hell to communicate with them. All I’m saying is if you want to get this for your kids please don’t. Sit down and have a proper conversation about anything you are dealing with that you think this app might help with but it’s probably only going to make your relationship with your kid worse and they aren’t going to trust you as much as you don’t trust them enough to consider having this app put on their phone. There are other, better and healthier ways of dealing with problems that you and your child might be having. Please do not put this app on their phone.

Ok this app might look like its gonna solve everything to parents. Its not. More like making your child feel mad or actually having some kind of hatred towards you. This app looks like heaven to parents when its actually just causing more harm than good. Lets face it, its sure not healthy for your child to stay on their phone 24/7 but if your getting this app for your child then maybe consider discussing and listening to their side of the story, and if your getting this because they are not doing what they’re asked for example homeworks,chores,reading etc. It might be better if you told them that if they dont do them then your getting this app. As a child who this app is being used on, i just dont want anybody else to experience it. I study, do my chores and read everyday but i still get this app used on me and its just making my bond with my parents more colder and i also am starting to lose friends because of this app. I just hope that no parent is using this app for their child anymore because if your a parent who are using this then ur automatically a bad parent whether you care about it or not its not gonna make your child caring and loving and a perfect human being who everyone looks up to.

My mum downloaded this app for me when I was 11. I’m now 13 and I still have to have it. This app is the horrible, my mum didn’t even try to talk to me about my phone and the conditions of using it, she just downloaded it to try cut corners in good parenting. This app is only beneficial to parents who can’t be bothered to talk to their kids and figure something out regarding how long a day they are allowed on their phones instead of downloading this app. It discourages proper communication between parents and children, because every time I bring it up and try to have a reasonable conversation about it to my parents they just say they pay for my phone so they get to control it, and threaten to take my phone away it’s I ask about getting the controls removed again. Just talk to your child about this sort of thing, they don’t want to be micro managed and controlled, they want to be respected and treated like an adult. I would give this app zero out of five if I could, it’s awful.
