Hi all, paukaye's request makes total sense - I've just filled the complaint below as suggested by Flood.

Hi folks, I have just installed the Kaspersky Safe Kids and I'm testing the premium version before buying it - by the way, I like it and will likely buy it in a week.
Today is the first day I'm using it and I found an issue that could be likely fixed easily. Long story short: - I fixed a maximum of 02h10 per day of Tablet time for my kids. - The main idea here is to have them doing other stuff during the day rather than playing games or watching YouTube videos. - As a matter of fact, however, Tablets nowadays are used for multiple purposes beyond entertainment, such as remote schooling. - Unfortunately, the way Kaspersky is currently set limits my ability to exclude selected softwares from the device usage time.
Think as a father: you want your kids to have the 1-2 hours of gaming per day regardless of the time they are using the Tablet for Home Schooling, right?
As my kids are currently in vacation, the home schooling issue has not yet caused a problem, but it certainly will. That said, the problem I'm facing during the first day of use is related to a "remote control app". Since we lost the TV remote control, we've been using this app - now, each time my kids use the app to control the TV, it reduces their gaming time.
Home school and remote control are just two examples of uses that I - and certainly many other users - would like not to count to device usage time.
I've found others complaining about it (e.g. https://community.kaspersky.com/kaspersky-safe-kids-16/safe-kids-do-always-allowed-apps-count-toward-total-screen-time-11009) and I truly believe that there is a great opportunity to improve this functionality.
Safe Kids - Do "always allowed" apps count toward total screen time?
