    I love the idea to have one place to control screen time for my kids for XBox, Win10 and Android. You can set limits individually per app, but unfortunately you cannot set screen time for Android. In theory you can monitor screen time, but it is wildly, unusably, inaccurate. Shows 24h on Win10, when it is switched off, and on the Android lying next to me not being used: 6min for Microsoft Launcher, 4min Family Safety, 3 min Microsoft Edge.

    Lock does not work when I block or time usage is up. Embarrassing that such basic feature not even working from big company

    First, the app prompted me five times to allow it to run in the background. Once I managed to find the controls for screen time and apps, I discovered that the terrible interface from the web page is replicated exactly. There is no way to edit multiple days simultaneously, to copy a daily schedule, to set the same schedule for multiple children, or to cut out a block of time. Apps are handled individually. There is no way to limit time for a set of apps, such as to limit total game time.

    Not worth installing. I was hoping the app would be quicker when my son requests extra time but I never get notified via the app. Is quicker to go to my email and allow time then wait for a request. App and website is difficult to navigate and misleads you to info about the website settings rather then actually taking me to my personal settings.

    No way to disable email notifications when kids requesting more time. Now I receive notifications via email and through the app.

    can't login to start the app, as it asks an approval from the ms auth app, and when i switch there and back to the app on the same device, it goes back to its first welcome screen. that's so microsoft, they like shooting in their foot.
