    Hi All

    I saw an advert for the Kindle fire and they had an app (FreeTime) that limits the amount of time the kids can have on the device..

    Does anyone know of something similar for iPad?

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    No suggestions though unfortunately.

    It is one area iOS is really lacking compared to Android. There are a number of apps on Android to limit time or limit what kids have access to and there are also profiles available. I think something similar would be great on iOS.

    iOS already has the restrictions section that can limit the apps/ options that are available, it also has the guided access section that can limit the control of what parts of an app can be accessed, but there does not seem to be a way to link the overall restrictions to a time period. You can switch them on or off

    If you have an apple wireless router (Airport, Airport Express, Timecapsule) you can set time limits for specific devices. I know it's not quite as handy as being able to do this on the device but it does also give you the option to limit multiple devices (laptops etc).
