Hello,
Hoping there's someone out there who could give me a bit of advice...
We have an ipod for my son, and sometimes on a saturday / sunday morning we leave it in his room to get a bit of a lay in. However recently he's been getting up at stupid times and last saturday he woke me up at 5am when the battery was exhausted after 2 hours playing....
I just jailbroke the ipod in the hope of installing an app that could stop the device being used between certain times, say 10pm - 6:30am, however after a lot of hunting round it doesn't look like anything like this exists?
1 - Does anyone know of any app or tweak or anything (anything!) that would stop him using the ipod before 6:30am?
2 - I used to be a developer and it feels to me (although with no experience of ios development!) that if I'm happy to hardcode the times of operation this could be one line of code somewhere - just to defeat the unlock slider based on system time... could anyone give me an idea of what the learning curve might be for someone new to ios development to start diving in and doing something like this myself?
3 - If all the above fails, is there an app I could use to send myself an email when he starts playing on the ipod so at least I could march in there at 3am and tell him to go back to bed?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Nicola
