Not ready for prime time

App functions only as a simple count-down timer that must be manually started and stopped for the child. Other reviews suggested that it would automatically pause when the device was idle or asleep, but I have confirmed with company that this is not the case (they say theyre working on it)

Software is not quite ready for prime time. E.g.:
-Sometime you have to press the back button at the top left to save, in other places that will discard your changes
-“Time played today” doesn’t always register and resets for no clear reason
-Every time you touch an alarm (turn on, turn off, edit, rename, etc.) you have to reenter your passcode - why not just enter your passcode once when you open the app?
-Alarm keeps getting louder, even if you turn volume off, and there’s no way to turn it off other than entering the passcode. Why is this alarm necessary if the device is already disabled?
-When the alarm rings, if you touch the device without entering the passcode, it may get stuck in a loop where it will no longer permit you to enter a passcode and just keeps representing the pop-up alert (all the while the alarm getting louder and louder).
-Sometimes it tells you that you can’t edit an alarm that’s already been used (why not? And, of course, that’s only after it asks you to enter your passcode again). Other times it appears to let you edit the alarm, but then ignores your changes.
-app is easily defeated - not suitable for a child >8
