Parental Control App - Grace

Out of all the apps I have tried , this one seems to have the strongest potential to fit with our family. I’ve been looking for an app that improves on and uses apples api. I found another recently that uses it for setup but not for anything else which didn’t work for us. This one seems to have all the features and simplicity I’m looking for while being built off Apple api. My only issue is the lack of app picker on the parent device and the developers lack of response. I’m concerned this is a dead app as it has not been updated in 6 mos and the developer won’t respond. If the app gets more support, I will probably be back. For now we are going back to apples solution.

This app is almost there and I’d LOVE to be done with apple’s on board screen time regulation. It has a few limitations as others have stated but my biggest gripe is that it just randomly stops working. Works reliably for weeks then suddenly my daughter is on for two hours when the app clearly indicates “limit has been reached”. Very frustrating.

I’ve been using this app for about 6 months now. It has very strong potential as being one of the only apps that I’m aware of using Apple’s Screen Time API. Overall it works well but there is most definitely a bug that blocks any request from my child’s device to install an app. I have it set for both of my kids’ devices to have to request permission to install an app. With Grace installed this functionality is blocked and does not work. I have done lots of testing and as soon as I uninstall Grace this functionality works again. Also, this desperately needs to allow for multiple “controlling” devices. For example… my device is the only device that can control the Grace functions on my kids’ devices. There is no ability for my wife to also be able to control from her device. That is very limiting. Both of these issues have caused me to have to discontinue using Grace and revert back to the default Apple Screen Time. If these two issues could be addressed I feel like your product would be on its way to greatness.
