ScreenCoach - Parental Control

Less nagging, more chores done, and less mindless screen time! This app is fantastic. It takes some effort to get it set up and customized, at first, but it’s worth it! My daughter, who is 6, spent a ton of time today doing chores and tasks all on her own to earn tokens! She really got on a roll, and was very happy with her progress. There is much less nagging, much more harmony, and less mindless screen time in our household since we got this app. Customer support is really helpful and responsive, as well. Highly recommend!

EVERY PARENT NEEDS This app is so amazing and work every penny! It has gotten our son to be more independent and self sufficient. He is excited to do chores, learning new things, and staying consistent with habits. Plus it helps so much to balance his screen time and reality. I would recommend to EVERYONE

pretty good as a kid im a child user and this works really well for me and my family. we used to use another similar type of app, but it went down sometime around covid. this showed up at a perfect time when we were getting sick of regular parental controls. theres definitely some things that could be fixed, but its great nonetheless

Effective! I have tried many behavioral modification apps but so far this one seems to be really effective for my child. Really happy with it!

ScreenCoach is making my life better! Every weekend I used to fight with my children all day to complete their assigned chores. The two full days I had with them on the weekend were filled constant battles and disciplines, I felt like my overall relationship with my children was suffering. Something needed to change. With ScreenCoach, I was able to create a master chore list and assign tokens (screen time) based on the intensity of the chores. I allow them an hour of free time, but after it is up, they have to complete chores to play their games. I love that it works across devices so I can enforce the screen time restrictions on both my son’s computer and his phone. The app allows children to earn bonuses for things like “done with out being asked” and “done with a good attitude”, so now they try their best to receive these bonuses. These bonuses helped my daughter go from whining about having to clean her guinea pig cage for hours, to her having it done before I’ve even finished my morning coffee. While this app did take a while to set up and get used to, the creator anticipated every question with helpful step by step guides, so I was able to figure everything out quickly. I highly recommend this app!

Best screen time app I was looking for an app that allowed my kids to earn extra screen time by doing chores around the house, reading books, etc. I also wanted very specific control over how screen time was used. ScreenCoach was the only app I could find that claimed to do everything I wanted. The app far exceeded my expectations. ScreenCoach uses modes to apply the rules you want to the apps you want. Their default options are reasonable enough to get you started, but the level of customization avaliable is amazing! They also have quick-start learning cards to help you learn the app. To top off an excellent app, ScreenCoach’s technical support has been outstanding - so much better than any other app support I’ve contacted. My kids are using their screens within our rules with minimal complaining, and I’ve reduced my own screen time to just over an hour a day!

The app I have been waiting for! This is the app I have been searching for ever since we bought our children iPads. We had no idea what kind of struggle we would be facing. Screen Coach is helping us regain some of the control we thought we had lost.

I really wanted to like it I thought I had finally found the app I was looking for. Something that can help me manage kids’ screen time while allowing kids to earn time for chores or whatever I designated. And it does all this, but it’s so, so complicated. It was not user friendly at all and I could never quite get the hang of it, so I canceled after a month. To the developer’s credit, they offered to help me 1:1 and helped me cancel easily, but I just needed something more user-friendly. I’ll keep checking back in the hopes it becomes less clunky over time.
