  • Adding content getting more annoying

    whisperedkiss

    It used to show new content at the top of the list, which made it easy to add recent books to my kid’s kindle. Then I had to filter to books first, but the new ones were still on top. Now I have to search for the titles, the new ones are randomly mixed into the many titles on my own kindle. There needs to be a sort by date option, or out it back how it used to be!!!

  • Broken

    Was able to set up some time restraints fairly easy, although the UX could honestly be better, but was really disappointed that the content management is completely broken. Toggling content off doesn’t stick when navigating back to the content page, the same content that was switched off is re-enabled. If it did work then there’s the problem that they push videos that I don’t want, and to turn those videos off requires them all to be done one at a time and there are thousands!

  • Clunky app

    I find the part where I control which content is available to my kid very difficult- I can disallow some content; but it makes me click through each item individually, and with thousands of items available, it’s incredibly annoying to do. I also can’t stop access to kindle+ for my child for a certain time. I for one will not be renewing my subscription after this trial period ends.

    The dashboard does not sync on time. My son has been reading a new book that I got him for the past 2 hrs, but it has not shown up on this app yet. When the device does not have internet, like when we’re traveling, the books that we’ve purchased and downloaded are not available. Normal kindles function without internet, so I don’t understand why the kindle kids requires internet to have access to all that you already own. I wish it had a “library” option, instead of having to scroll through all the kids+ subscription is trying to push on you to find “recent” or “books chosen for you” I also wish there was an easier way to select/ deselect books that are available on the kids+ subscription. Currently you have to scroll through every single option and deselect one by one. It’s not user friendly.

  • Like app but needs a big fix

    I love having a simple dashboard app to control their accounts. The pause / resume button is great. But it needs a way to do a one day override of the individual settings. For example if your in the car, on a plane or your kid is home sick you should be able to give them more app or video time without having to change the settings permanently and then have to remember to go in and change them back.

  • Great app just needs minor tweaking

    I love the app, but I wish it had a feature to automatically pause screen time in intervals. For example, after 45 minutes of usage, the app could enforce a 1-hour break. This would make parenting much easier, especially with all the daily tasks we juggle. Right now, I have to manually pause it, which can be inconvenient. Adding this feature would be a game-changer! Otherwise, the app is fantastic!
