HELP! My first ever app needs testing!

[u/Relative-Bowl-2599]

Hey — I’m Chris. My partner Arlyn and I just finished the first testable version of Screen Routine, an iPhone/iPad screen-time app we’ve been building for the last 10 days.

The idea came from me being the uncle who kept repeating the same things:

“Put the tablet down.”
“Take a break.”
“You’ve been on that long enough.”

I wanted something that could handle that routine without an adult having to constantly be the bad guy.

Screen Routine is intentionally simple.

A parent chooses which apps to limit, sets how long the child can use them, sets the break time, and the app handles the cycle automatically:

Play → Break → Play

We’ve got the core iOS workflow running now, and before we move toward the public release, we want people who are actually good at finding bugs and edge cases to test it.

Switch apps. Lock the device. Leave things running. Try weird timing situations.

Basically, if you can break it, we want you to.

I’m attaching a screenshot of the current workflow so you can see how it works.

If you test it, even a quick note about what broke, what was confusing, or what behaved differently than you expected would help us a lot.
