Game Time Limit for Parents iPhone/iPod App – Essential parenting tool

Game Time Limit for Parents

Today XVision announces a new app for iPhone/iPod, Game Time Limit for Parents, the first and only app to give parents real control over the time spent by their children on iDevices using SmartBlock technology. Game Time Limit is available in the App Store at the special launch price of $1.99.

“It’s wise to monitor and limit the time your child spends playing games or watching video on the iDevice. Game Time Limit for Parents helps parents to achieve this. With our SmartBlock technology, your child can’t use the device anymore once the timer runs out,” said Johnny, XVision CEO. “We sincerely hope that this great parenting tool can help all parents with young children.”

Control iDevice usage by kids

Game Time Limit enables a parent to set a timer that limits the amount of game playing (or screen) time the child gets. When the timer ends, an alarm appears on the screen, stopping your child from playing anymore. The only way to stop the alarm is for him to handover the iDevice to you. Otherwise, the alarm keeps appearing. Game Time Limit works with all games and applications to help control iDevice usage.

Pricing and Availability: Game Time Limit for Parents is available in the App Store. For limited time, it is offered at the special launch price of $1.99.

“If you’re a parent and have kids that borrow your iDevice to play games or entertain themselves, then this is a great little tool to limit how much they can use it for. This is a great app to help control iDevice usage. Definitely recommended if you’re a parent, or just someone that needs to cut back on how much time you spend on your device too.” – AppAdvice.com

    XVision,

    Your “Game Time Limit” is a nice app … for toddlers. I’m amazed there is no better “time limit” app for teenagers!

    Here’s what I’d love to see added:

    * Within a 24 hr period, I can restrict my kids use of their device (20 min to x hrs)
    * If they turn off the device, the timer should pause
    * Before shutdown, a 5-minute warning should come up, then a countdown for the last 30 sec.
    * Allow possibility of a total lockout between certain hrs (ex. midnight to 7am)
    * Allow setup for longer time use on weekends
    * Each day, the timer starts over again

    I would gladly pay for such an app as would many parents I know!

    I truly think the first developer to come up with an app that will simply restrict a kid’s use of their device to a certain # of minutes per day (without having to set it every time for them!) will reap tremendous rewards! It’s needed for the Touch, iPad, and iPhone.

    I can unconditionally second hw’s wishes for a teenager version of “Game Time Limit”. Will cheerfully pay for such an app, which can restore peace in the family.

    I agree with both. Why would I let a toddler have a ipod anyway? It’s my twelve year old who is unlikely to bring his touch to me every time he wants to play a game so I can limit his time. Unbelievable. I’d pay a fortune for the app describe above – in both apple and android formats, since his phone is android.

    I want to add my voice to the others. Exactly as hw described. It’s my 9-year old’s ipod touch. I simply want him to have a daily limit of “screen time” on it. He can break it up however he likes.

    This is really a different app completely. Kind of like the way “Watcher 5″ works on a Mac, but for an ipod touch.

    I wholeheartedly agree with the need/demand for this product. Why make it a daily argument with your child when the device itself can monitor use? If anyone learns of such an app….please let us know.
