Comments on Limitly Screen Time Control for Android

★★★★★ Definitely Recommend Probably, anyway to limit smartphone or tablet usage by kids you might think about can be executed by combining Limitly's wide range of features. At the same time, it is really simple to set up. Quarantine mode that blocks all new apps automatically is an absolute must use. It's a pity that the app doesn't support iOS :(. Overall these drawbacks can't beat all positive features that this free app has.

★★★★★ Amazing App. This is exactly what I've been looking for. You can block apps by total time usage, for example 10 mins on Monday, 30 mins on Tuesday etc. You can also allow usage by time windows ex. 3pm-5pm on Mondays etc. I absolutely love the feature that you can turn on to block newly downloaded apps until you unblock them. This is a very important feature that I haven't been able to find on any other app. For me, this app is almost perfect but I do have one suggestion. It would be nice to be able to combine time usage and time window filtering. For example, I want to allow 30 minutes usage for an app on Monday, but I also want it to be available to use only at a certain time of the day. So it would be cool to give a time window like 12pm to 4pm for example, and in that 4 hour time window, the app can only be used for 30 minutes and is blocked at any time out of the time window even if 30 minutes wasn't used in that 12pm to 4pm window.

★★☆☆☆ It's very difficult to find an app that's really unbreakable for a kid. This one is easy to bypass: Even if you set the admin permissions for the limitly app and also block the Settings app to avoid the kid to unassign the admin permissions for the limitly app, the block screen appears a few later than the screen to unassign the admin permissions itself (1/2 second), so the kid would be able to unassign the admin permissions by fast click the option to unassign admin permissions, and then uninstall the app, as it'd not be protected. The same or similar things happened with qustodio app, with lots of youtube videos showing how to bypass the protection. It's sad that such a vital issue is so hard to implement and find. We are having real problems to control our daughter's time with her phone.

★★☆☆☆ This is a great idea, not just for children but also for adults who want to limit their own smartphone usage. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a major problem that limits its usefulness. I have created a group of apps, which I would like to limit by time usage (30mins per day). However, when I wake up in the morning, the apps in the group are already blocked, even though I haven't used the phone yet that day. This might be a problem with the time the usage count resets each day. A couple of smaller issues. Firstly, if you use the PIN to unblock an app, the app is blocked again after 10-15 seconds, which is annoying. Also it would be nice to have a countdown timer showing you how much longer you have before the apps will be blocked. Last thing, the screen that appears when an app is blocked shows two messages with slightly different wording telling you that the app has been blocked. Only one message is necessary. If these problems were resolved, this is an app I would be willing to pay for.
