Can I use the Phones4Work MDM to apply time limits to apps?

From the Phones4Work MDM, we cannot put time limits on an app. However, we can disable apps at set times (time fence) throughout the day. If you wish to have a time fence policy applied to an app, please create a support ticket and list the device ID, the app name and the times you want the app disabled/enabled.

Another option would be to use the Phones4Work dashboard to manually enable and disable it. You can sign up for dashboard access here.

A third option would be to use an app specifically designed for that. There are many on the Play Store such as this one  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.lockmeout that should work.
