  • Good but not great

    This app does a good job of addressing parental controls but still leaves some loopholes that kids will absolutely find and leaves out some very basic controls, like a realtime view of what’s happening etc., that really need to be implemented.
  • It is awesome

    I really appreciate this app. It allows me to manage the time that my child spends on their Switch. It’s convenient on my phone and I can extend play time easily.

    Hello, I absolutely love this app for things like tracking my son’s playtime and setting restrictions on certain apps. My one issue is that whenever I play Animal Crossing New Horizons or Pokopia, and I want to time travel, the option is locked in system settings. I would love if the ability to change the system’s time was fully accessible, even with parental controls. Maybe you could allow access to changing the systems time if you entered the PIN? Thank you so much! Best wishes, Tommy Henderson

    Very good when you have a modded switch so that you don’t get banned or bricked
  • Every parent should have this app.

    The Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app is a must-have if you care about monitoring and managing your child’s access on the device. I really appreciate how easy it is to set daily play limits and restrict content, both for the system and individual games. One feature I wish could be improved is what happens when the daily limit is reached. Currently, an alarm goes off, but it can be easily dismissed by kids with a quick swipe, allowing them to keep playing. It would be much more effective if a PIN was required to continue access after the limit is hit. Overall, I’m very glad this app exists and would definitely recommend it to any parent looking for more control and peace of mind.
  • Terrible… 🤬

    As a teen this is an insult. Annoying noises to worsen your head ache and this is the worst parental controls ever. I hope this gets taken down. And It stopped working and I didn’t do anything. Do better, Nintendo. 😡
  • It’s good support

    I use this app to track my siblings play time. I also like seeing my playtime. The only thing I wish they added was the actual time that was played, now you just see how long they played and not what time they started and ended
  • This app is awesome

    Love this app it lets me know what games he is playing. There is also a feature where I blocked YouTube since that is the one thing I don’t want him using or playing on. He can still play all of the games that I have approved and bought. The app also let you know when the child tries to enter pin number to download something he’s not supposed to .
