App limits seem totally messed up. I've been trying to configure my kid's iPhone app limits. If I delete a limit entry, it just comes back. Seems like none of the rules actually get deleted. Now I have an accumulation of -old- app limit entries, many duplicate entries. There must be a bug. Does anyone know a workaround?
