Good afternoon the Sages of NSC

I am looking at getting an app so I can restrict the amount of time my two cherubs spend on their iPads. I have done a quick bit of searching but given the knowledge on here is 2nd to none NSC will always be my go to site for info.

I don't mind paying for a decent App to help.

Thanks in advance.

The little darlings would soon learn how to override it or sort the password. Lock the tablet in a safe would be my option.

You could try the inbuilt parental controls https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304

I find the word "No" is the best form of parental control.

Get them an Android tablet instead - they'll stop using it soon enough.

As said above, we use a password to stop our two little shits spending too much time on the iPad.

Just got a bit bored checking all of the 'bypass parental controls' videos on youtube but did enjoy this. Should be compulsory.

Or stick to getting the little darlings an apple device, change the browser home page to 1 of those sites claiming that the new apple operating system makes apple devices waterproof.
