QuizLock: Parental Screen Time

Taking the phone away always ends in tears? Let a quiz do the talking. At the times you choose, a quiz pops up over whatever your child is watching. Get it right and they pick up right where they left off.

■ A quiz pops up right on time Pick every 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. When time is up, the phone locks and a quiz appears — over videos, games, any app.

■ Quizzes that fit your child's age Ages 3–4 get picture and number questions only. Ages 5–6 add simple words and first letters. Age 7 adds sorting, missing letters and simple sums. Choose from [ Animals, Letters & words, Numbers ].

■ Earn stars, spend stars Every correct answer earns stars. Collected stars can be spent to skip a quiz — a small way to practice "just a bit more" on their own.

■ Only a parent can turn it off Turning QuizLock off or unlocking early needs your parent passcode. Choose apps that should never lock, like learning apps.

■ Today at a glance See questions solved, accuracy and screen time, and which quiz types your child is best at.

▶ Great for parents who - are tired of the daily "give me the phone" battle - want screen time to include a little learning - find that timers alone don't stop the video - want letters and numbers to feel like a game

▶ How it works 1. Add your child's name and age 2. Choose how often quizzes appear and how many questions each time 3. Tap "Start QuizLock" and hand the phone over 4. When time is up, a quiz pops up — answer it and keep watching
