In the News
“What I did early on is I downloaded an app called WiFi Blocker,” she said.
“My son will absolutely hate the fact that I’m telling everybody this but it was the best £5 I ever invested.”
Lauren, Reason we made the app
Before
Time: 1.30am, School night. Dad finds Lauren(age 13) in bed with her iPad.
Dad “LAUREN IT’s 1.30 AM!”.
Lauren and Dad proceed in actual tug of war for iPad.
After
Lauren’s internet gets blocked at 8pm automatically, Lauren realises her iPad is pretty useless without internet, and is asleep by 9pm most nights. Occasionally get “STUART. WiFi” reminders to switch back on her WiFi, or with router scheduling her internet is automatically available from 7am.
Dad still enjoys toggling her WiFi from scheduled to blocked to here her shout downstairs if we’ve not heard from here in a while or its dinner time.
