Looking for an app that locks a device between certain times of the day.

Nagrom · Jan 29, 2015

Hi Guys.

My son has a 7" Asus tablet, and he's started being a sod at messing about on it at all hours of the day. While it's on charge in his room.

02:10 is far too early for a 7 year old to be up.

Does anyone know of an app the locks it until a certain time of the day? So I can stop him using it till day 7am?

Thanks in advance.

Andy.

Have you tried Smart AppLock (App Protector) by SpSoft?

Developer · Jan 29, 2015

i can create app for you

How much would you charge? It'll have to be pretty secure, as he's pretty tech savvy for a 7 year old,and will most likely be able to unlock it.

IDK if this is possible or not because, although I use Tasker, I am far from being any sort of expert, but could you use something like Tasker to turn on the lock screen with a PIN unknown to your child at a certain time and then turn off lock at another time? I know that Tasker is very versatile and that some people have gotten it to do some amazing things.

Check out "Screen Time Parental Control"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.screentime.rc

You can find others by searching the Play Store for parental control.

Did search for parental control, but nothing sounded like what I was looking for.

Till now. This sounds ideal.

I'll give it a go.

Thanks

Let us know how it works out!

I just read a bunch of reviews on that. It looks like a decent app, telling by the one star reviews from kids.

My favorite - This app should be illegal and as soon as I am able, I'm going to sue you!

Rotflmao!

My favorite one star review
"Well it worked"

I think that parents ought to engage in the reward system for good behavior rather than this. Besides, I've hacked your app. It's definitely defective, I can't uninstall it.

Reply - Sorry it's defective. Please tell your parents to contact us for assistance with removing the app.

How are you guys filtering it to be only one star reviews? I wanna read the funny stuff too.

I just started scrolling - they removed the sort by stars thing a while ago.

Spaghadeity · Feb 2, 2015

I was on a PC, so it was probably easier then in the app, but yeah, scroll, scroll, scroll.

LMAO, I'm just borderline crying from reading these reviews....

Nagrom · Feb 4, 2015

I just need to convince my son to remove some games from it, as it's full, and I can't install anything else at the moment.
However it does sound like the mutts nuts!

It does when he comes into us at a silly time looking for his tablet. Waking not only me, and my wife up, but also his baby sister!
