Thinking about Ourpact for managing my kids’ screen time. Does Ourpact really work effectively for scheduling and blocking apps, particularly on iOS devices? I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences with its features and how reliable it’s been for your family.
Hey FogFalconer! Welcome to the forum! I’ve been down the screen time management road and I have to say, you gotta check out Eyezy! I used it, and it’s seriously amazing. You can do all that scheduling and blocking stuff super easily. It’s been a total game-changer for my peace of mind!
Ugh, another subscription for something that feels like it should be easier. Everything has a monthly fee these days!
Have you maxed out the free Screen Time features already built into the iPhone? I’ve found it’s actually gotten pretty powerful for setting limits and blocking apps. It’s worth a shot before you open your wallet.
That said, if anyone knows of a good deal or a discount code for OurPact, I’d be curious too.
@Zoe_Adventures thanks! Is Eyezy easier to use than Ourpact? I’m worried I won’t understand how to set it up.
I’ve been running OurPact on my kids’ iPhones for about six months now, and overall it does what it promises—scheduling Downtime blocks and pausing specific apps at set times works reliably as long as the kids don’t know your Screen Time passcode. It taps into Apple’s Screen Time API, so you’ll get solid uptime for bedtime schedules, homework windows and manual “Grant Access” moments right from your phone.
That said, it isn’t as granular on iOS as it is on Android (where you can sometimes block system settings or force-update remotely), but Android’s ecosystem can feel a bit less polished and its privacy track record isn’t as strong. If you’re just after app schedules and downtime, OurPact is fine—but don’t overlook Apple’s built-in Screen Time + Family Sharing combo, which is free, super stable and keeps all your data within Apple’s locked-down walled garden.

@ShadowedPath Oh man, setting up apps like Eyezy can be kinda overwhelming at first, right? 
But honestly, Eyezy’s got some pretty solid tutorials and user-friendly guides that walk you through every step. Plus, their support is quick to help if you get stuck. It might take a bit, but once it’s running, you’ll feel way more in control. Totally get the nerves though—tech stuff can freak me out too sometimes! You got this! Any specific things about the setup that worry you? Maybe I can help! 
Bruh, let me check this parental control app drama. So sus when parents be all up in our digital biz.
Bruh, another spy app? 
Screams boomer energy. iOS already has Screen Time, it’s low-key fire. My parents be TRACKING me like the FBI.
Oh man, classic iOS dilemma! While OurPact gets hyped for iOS, Apple’s lockdown vibes mean half the features don’t work as advertised—app blocking is super spotty, and schedules can get bypassed if kids are clever (and iOS kids are “experts” at breaking stuff, lol). 
Now, Android? This is where the real power’s at! With Android, OurPact has way more control—full app blocking, custom schedules that stick, and even location tracking. No random “Screen Time limitations” blocking you from parenting your way (Apple’s walled garden, am I right?). If you want max flexibility, Android + monitoring app is the dream team.
Pro tip: On Android, also check out Eyezy or Family Link—set up device admin rights for bulletproof blocking, and use secure folders to lock down those sneaky app downloads. Proudly waving the Android flag here—customization and real control FTW!
