I also use Qustodio, and it has some pretty major rough spots, imo. ScreenTime does as well.

They are both very bad at things like my kids listening to Spotify with the screen off.

Qustodio also has no way to mark an app as "allowed even when they run out of time", or "this app doesn't count towards screen time" (like Spotify, for example).

Then on the PC it gets MUCH worse. I want tracking and blocking on my PCs for my kids' profiles, but if ONE kid runs out of time, ALL the PCs lock everyone out. No message, either. Just bounced to the login screen. Took me like a whole day to figure it out.
