Really bare bones controls. You can set hourly limits on a console, and you can set an alarm for bedtime, and you can see a general idea of how much of each game was played each day, but that's it. It's unclear how well these settings work. For example, I set bedtime at 8pm, but when I look at the time played, it has red text saying the game was played past the set time. It doesn't say when the hours happened, so I can't know if she went over by five seconds or somehow kept playing for an hour.

This app is very useful for keeping kids' eyes away from screens, especially for letting them earn time by completing chores. The new feature for quickly extending play time would be great, except it doesn't seem to work for extending from 0 minutes. I still have to go further in and change daily settings from 0 minutes to their daily allotment before the Switch will unlock. It's a bit frustrating to be teased with a feature that would be great but doesn't work.

Well built app that allows you to setup and update in real-time your kids' play restrictions (Wifi/Internet required). it allows to set and extend play time for example. Also "bed time", and the option to turn the device off when the time comes, so no "oh! I missed the notification" One thing I would like to see added in future releases, is the ability to also set "start time", so your kids cannot use the device before that time (in combination with the bed time, this is a "down time" schedule)

Since it has been updated, it does not want to connect to my kids. consoles right away and nothing is instant before it was extremely fast. Do not like the update. I will change my rating whenever the app wants to start working like it did before. I also don't like that Everything is all spread out before it was all just one click of a button and easy to use.

It works. It can set a time limit but ultimately it could be much more robust. Primarily I would like to set blocks of time that a user would be allowed to play and a bank of time available. ie. I would like to make 30 mins available in the morning and 30 mins available in the evening but have larger windows of where those 30 mins could be played with hard cut off times (like going to school or getting ready for bed) also why is this a separate app from the Nintendo Switch App? combine them.
