How to Block an App from the Reports
When you look at the Reports, you can find an app that you do not want your child to use or spend so much time on. You can block or set time limits for such apps directly from the Report. This is also an additional way that allows you to block applications even more easily.
- Run the app you want to block.
- Open HT Parental Controls and click Reports → Applications.
- Find the app on the log, click it to select and then click the Block App or Limit App button at the bottom of the tab.
