I've been hesitant to do so. Look at the top several results from https://www.google.com/search?q=porn+accountability+app for apps that don't even try to advertise as parental focused apps. If you want direct lin

I don't intend to throw in the towel until I've exhausted my options. I'd hoped that being patient would garner favor with Apple. This has proven it doesn't. Personally speaking, I also fear rejection/failure. De

Put on the hat of the end user. Keep in mind the end user is a child, or someone struggling with an online addiction/behavior they want to quit. They welcome the app, but those issues are somewhat personal. There's a balancing

They've had apps in the app store for years, and MacOS apps notarized. If they're struggling, they're at least able to work with Apple where I'm not.

I appreciate this. Thank you. I'm sorry you were down voted at my defense. > Your app sounds like it offers real value and is actually innovating. Apple is destroying your business at their discretion, for seemingly no reason. Peo

Whether I agree or not, they aren't doing it. They've had decades to build it in, but what is built in sucks and is easily bypassed. See https://protectyoungeyes.com/12-ingenious-screen-time-hacks-... . While I w

The hesitancy to approve is understood on my part. Have a child who's negatively impacted by tech though, or be married to someone who is, or attend an addiction recovery group for any online addiction, and you'll be persuaded ot

Holding people accountable doesn't require shaming. Truple isn't a silver bullet, but it is a tool that can be incredibly helpful. The MDM solutions all require enterprise developer accounts. I want to pursue one, but I hoped to

2.5 years ago I had Bugsnag setup as part of the app, but removed it in the redesign because the developer agreement indicated something about analytics/tracking and I felt it'd be safest just to remove it. No advertising trackin

Competitors are allowed to capture screenshots randomly and send those screenshots to someone. The details are very similar. Interestingly enough, competitors don't end-to-end encrypt the data. Only I do that. If there was some litt

Then why do they allow competitors to do it? They should be facing the same issues.

I'd happily change the libs if there was an issue. I'm not aware of any and Apple hasn't indicated any. I take effort to keep libraries up to date, but certainly don't have everything on latest.

I've thought about this... but Apple's developer agreement has some wording in it that makes me believe it may not be possible. I'm no lawyer, so it's certainly something I could ask if I go the legal route. Thanks for

Thanks for the suggestion. If I can't get anywhere with "going public" about the issue, that's the only other potential solution I can think of. Not one I want to have to use though...

There's a persistent notification that says "Truple - Screenshot Accountability" on it, and when it's clicked, it opens up the Truple app or menu depending on the platform. Competitors do a similar thing and aren't

Some may not agree with the use of parental control/accountability software. That's fine. Truple is not designed for you. There are tons of people who are negatively impacted by technology and they desperately need/want he

It should be that way... governments shouldn't be picking favorites or holding out for bribes.

I disagree. Their product is already functioning. It's not a kickstarter. How is this dishonest? The only dishonest thing would be the government not allowing it for some unethical reason.
