Exactly what I was looking for!
I dont use OurPact to limit a childs Internet usage -- I use it to limit my own. Way too often, I would let a whole night slip away because I was playing with my phone, and I hated it. I installed the OurPact app, and then targeted my own phone for limitation. Works like a charm. Now, at 8:00 every night, my phone switches into "bedtime" mode and prevents me from using third party apps or the internet. I can still call, text, and check email so the phone remains useful for communication, but stops being a time waster. I wish I could select which apps are blocked and which arent, and theres no good reason to switch off my own camera -- Im not a child -- but overall OurPact does exactly what I need it to do.
The app has pros and cons. My child figured out how to disable the app on his phone by deleting the Device System profile. This bug needs to be fixed.
I really like this app but I would give it a 5 star if they could fix it where you dont have to be under Wifi for it to work.
I thought this would be great but i had hopes it would turn off wifi for everything including iMessage.
Must have for every parent with kids that are addicted to their device !!! Dont think twice about it. Thank you developer. Youve saved my life... Im looking forward to your next apps.
This is a great app! Works very well. I saw in the FAQ that the developers are working on how to set which apps are blocked - rather than all of them. Looking forward to this feature as I want to allow music creation apps at night. Thanks for a great app!
For a FREE option, Im really impressed. But wish it blocked Messaging.
I love this app- it puts parents in control as it should ...
The configuration for this is having a parent ipad and having a child ipad. If you hit UNTIL I SAY SO, all your stuff, including the configuration app itself, disappears. I also wanted to have it follow a schedule, but then be able to grant access until the next schedule interval. Instead I have to turn them back on a schedule if I ever granted access. Slightly annoying, but free and effective.
Simplifies greatly the process of negotiation for homework, chores and bedtime. Solid user interface and easy to setup.
Perfect app to make my sons apps disappear and has no option but to get bored with it and fall asleep. No need to worry about overcharging the iPad or if he knows the iPad password. I have access the iPads Internet and shut it off based on a schedule. If hes not on good behavior, I also have the option to block access immediately which is also super great.
No more bedtime fights. Instead of having to go through the gymnastics of physically taking away a phone I can just block access.
Love the organized sleep and study times! Social media could be addictive for anyone especially teens.
Whats an app like this worth if it can easily be turned on or off by anyone using the phone? You dont need a password to get in the app so it really does nothing.
Been looking for a way to control my childrens time on iPad. This is the perfect solution.
Love this app!
I am a mother of 3 who needed help with scheduling the kids electronic usage. It was getting out is control and our act was the abase to my prayers. I was able to schedule when they can use it, breakfast, lunch tile, naps bedtime, and family time I love this app.
This has been the best tool that I have found next to take my kids phones away all together. They hate it but we love it. Keep up the great work. Thanks
So far I have set up 3 of our devices and it is very simple and access works instantly. Wish I used this sooner.
