We have recently added a user’s maximum time, which is the total maximum time allowed across all modes.
In other words, ScreenCoach now has both options for maximum time.
Whichever is lowest—the user maximum time or the mode maximum time—will be allowed.
For example, Bart has:
4 hours maximum time in his user setting on Mondays
8 hours maximum time in his user setting on Saturdays
5 hours maximum time on Fun Mode every day (Monday - Sunday)
So
On Monday, Bart’s Maximum will be 4 hours (from the user settings).
On Saturday, Bart’s Maximum will be 5 hours for Fun mode (from the mode’s settings).
How to change the maximum time for a user:
1. Launch ScreenCoach on your (parent) mobile device.
2. Click on the vertical ellipsis ( ⋮ ) for the child you wish to change the maximum time limit.
3. Click on "User Settings."
4. Go to the "Allowance" tab.
5. Edit the "Max Time" for each day. Note you can copy the value to each day with the copy icon on the right.
How to change the maximum time for a mode:
1. Launch ScreenCoach on your (parent) mobile device.
2. Go to "Settings" from the tab bar at the bottom of the screen.
3. Choose "Manage Modes" on the next screen.
4. Click the mode for which you wish to change the maximum time limit.
5. Go to the "DAILY LIMITS" tab.
6. From the advanced options, choose "Add alternate limits and options."
7. Set the "Max Time" for the days. NOTE: If you have a school mode with a different time multiplier, do not do this, as it will stop the time multiplier from working.
