TECHNOLOGY TIPS – LIMITING GAME TIME FOR KIDS
When letting your kids play with the myriad apps on your
iPhone and/or iPad, you may want to limit the amount of time they spend. Yes, well there's an app for that too! This allows you to limit the time your kids
spend playing games or watching videos.
It's called Game Time Limit for Parents. The app allows you
set the number of minutes and set a secret passcode. Before you give the device
to your child, all you need to do is set the timer. Once the timer ends, an alarm appears on the
screen and stops play. If your child
tries to continue to play, they can't until you enter your password and stop
the alarm.
The alarm works on all games and apps on your device. The
cost is $0.99 and is compatible with all iDevices. So now you get to sit back, relax and wait
20-30 minutes without having to nag, remind or threaten to take away your
device.
