It appears that time limits only affect the Mobicip browser. This is disappointing. If time limits do not restrict apps, the utility of these protections is greatly diminished. Perhaps I just missed something in the documentation.
With an MDM profile installed, you should be able to restrict access to apps. What am I missing?

Perhaps the previous question
Perhaps the previous question was intended to mean the following, which is my primary question in perusing mobicip:
I would like for the DEVICES to have time limits, not just the internet. So that regardless of what the child is doing on they tablet, they have X number of hours a day and that's it. The app screentime does this, but the one device limitation (rather than cumulating the time used from various devices), makes it unsuitable for my needs. I believe how it works is that when they're approaching their limit, they get a 5-minute warning and then the device is disabled (on iOS I think this blocks everything besides the native apps).
Is there any plan to do something like this?

Re: Perhaps the previous question
Hello Amber
We understand your concern. We expect to have full screen time limit support across devices soon. Not only will you be able to limit screen time on iOS devices, the limit will span across all devices and computers that you have Mobicip enabled on. This is a complex feature and is taking more time to develop than we had expected.
We will keep you posted on any updates reg this.

Time Management
I just signed up for Mobicip premium today. My concern is the total amount of screen time my children have have their divices. They each have an iPad and Chromebook. It was my understanding that time limits that could be set up in Mobicip were for cumulative divice usage per day, not permissible hours of the day. So if my kids are allowed 2 total hours of screen time each per day, then it could be split up between the iPad and Chromebook. It seems that Mobicip can't provide this feature on an individual platform or across platforms? Is this correct? Based on the post preceeding this one that I read after sighning up, Mobicip is in the process of providing this feature. Is this correct? When will it be available?
