time of day restriction for ipod touch

I am looking for a parental control timer app to limit my daughter's i touch access. I'm looking for something that can restrict certain times, like 11 pm to 6 am. Any ideas?

The previous reviewers are right. There is no way to set time limits for overall usage of the iPod touch. However, you could setup an alternate safe browser like the one from Mobicip and that will allow you to setup time limits for internet access alone. You may find this tutorial to be helpful:

You DO install the App on the childs device as well as the parents.

However, a paid subscription is required after a free week trial. Not cheap $40 a year. And the time limits aren't easy to set.


I suggest you get on the Apple App store, under Utilities and search for "Time limits" read reviews as some are easy to disable some just don't work well.

If all else fails, you can still subscribe to the ParentKit App.

Too bad the "restrictions" on the device don't have a limiter.

Installed it... works pretty well as a kill switch. But you can delete the MDM ParentKit profile in Profiles/General/Settings of my son's iPod Touch. My son may eventually find this, and it's tied to his screen password, not my parent restrictions password. They need to restrict deletion of this profile to save the hassel of putting it back on, then having to set the screen lock password as something I know, rather than him..
