Need an App to Limit Screen Time Effectively

Evenings are a battle with devices. I set limits, but kids find ways around. What’s a good app to limit screen time that locks everything after hours and reports usage? Works on iPads too? Tired of the fights.

Hi ScreenBattleDad, I totally get where you’re coming from—I’ve faced the same battles with my two boys. For over three years, I’ve used mSpy, and it’s been reliable for setting screen time limits and getting detailed reports, even if my sons try to stretch the rules. It gives you control over app usage, blocks apps after hours, and notifies you about activity. Plus, it works on iPads!

Be sure to speak openly with your kids about why you’re using it—it helps reduce resistance in the long run.
