Parental control apps

Options
Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a parental control app to limit screen time. The apps I have found on playstore have bad reviews so I haven't tried them.

I'm looking for apps compatible for android and iPhones. 

Any help would be appreciated 😊

    Just take the phone/tablet/TV away or disable access to the router to stop them getting on line except when it acceptable.

    Alternatively make them pay for it - dont let them have unlimited access, get a paygo sim with a limited data allowance and only top it up once a month, so if they run out then they are stuffed until the next period. It will encourage them to use it a bit more wisely

    The solution is in your hands
