2024-11-29 | Dr Tyler | it's spotty.. most of the time when I try to pause the tablet through the app it doesn't work. when I set time limits it didnt stop the tablet either...and the call feature after I followed the confusing directions a million times it finally worked but the call only lasts like 10 seconds before it freezes and drops. I think the concept is amazing and if it worked better it would be so helpful but the implementation is having some issues :( | |
2024-11-20 | Katie Preece | I hate that I can not remove all games or all movies. The app itself is too overstimulating for kids. I like them to have access to their books and music without being inundated with games! | |
2024-11-19 | Austin “ABLAM” Rohm | Good access. Could use some more. Would love to be able to ping my child's tablet when it's lost for example. | |
2024-11-16 | Dustin | Horrible app loads nothing new always take hours for requests to even come thru for me to approve for the kids. Doesn't even allow me to add videos from websites only block them. Does allow me as the parent to have more then minimal control over what is seen or used. Overall horrible interface. For a muti-million dollar company do better!!!!! | |
2024-11-12 | Donovan Dye | lacks controls for apps. We want the tablet to be a learning aid, but my child can download games that have little to do with learning. | |
2024-11-10 | Kelly Larson | It's helpful buuuut.... it needs to let me customize more. Like if I want them to be able to only listen to music for a certain amount of time. Or I only want them to be able to use certain learning apps first or for a select duration. Or add more time temporarily without having to remember to change the settings back. Give me more options please | |
2024-11-06 | Justin Holbrook | Give us a disable option! You can set a minimum amount of time of 15 mins, or do a break for a specific number of hours, or set the schedule to a one minute block, but then you have to undo your changes which is a pain. Give me a disabled/enabled toggle where disabled supercedes all other settings. Also, give me volume limit setting. Need to do some user testing with actual parents. | |
2024-11-01 | Colleen Munoz | The new app kinda sucks. I'm not getting notifications when my kids want to buy a game, navigating the app feels a bit clunky, and the daily screen time feature doesn't allow an end time after midnight which I understand is fine for most families but it doesn't always work with my autistic/adhd kids with sleep issues. | |
2024-10-26 | Devin Aguiar (TripTrAp) | horrible user interface, Everytime my daughter's apps need an update its like the ipad turns into a brick, where am I supposed to update her apps, not listed anywhere under content controls and when she attempts to open a game tells her the feature is blocked. Why in the world is it blocking an update of an app I approved. it seems like the people who run this don't use it. Paying for a headache, OH and nevermind all the ads in the games on a service WERE PAYING FOR. do better Amazon. | |
2024-10-25 | Dallas Gradney | Be nice if this app actually let you sign in. This puzzle game in place is inefficient and a complete waste of time. Customer service is also below par in actually assisting. Considering canceling Amazon all together and moving on. |
