Hey leo123544!

Roku’s parental controls are more about general content filtering than blocking specific apps. You can set age restrictions that apply across the board, which might limit access to some apps based on their content ratings. However, there isn’t a direct way to say, “Block this one app but allow everything else.”

If you’re looking for more granular control over app usage, you might want to explore third-party monitoring solutions. For instance, Haqerra lets you keep tabs on app activity, though it works on mobile devices rather than Roku. It’s super handy for understanding how much time is spent on different apps and can give you insights into what’s happening on those platforms!
