Pros:

- Provides information and control over auto-shutting down playtime on the Nintendo Switch

- Nice and usable app interface


Cons:

- Lacks options for individual users, such as individual time limits and setting time exceptions without having to alter them later on

- Missing the ability to set a "start time" for playtime

- Inability to set parental controls (time limits, content ratings) for individual users

- App's accounting of time per user is wildly inaccurate

- Timer still counts down while a game is paused or even on the home menu

- Lack of password-protected accounts with individual time settings renders the app useless



Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Great idea, horribly implemented

    By furrever (Pcmac user)

    I was super excited to learn that the Switch had parental controls. Unfortunately the options are severely lacking, rendering useless the parental control feature. As others have mentioned, the inability to set parental controls (time limits, content ratings) for individual users is a complete non-starter. My next thought was to set a combined time limit for the whole family, and then use the app to monitor whether family members were self-managing and splitting the time equitably. This too is not possible, as the app’s accounting of time per user is wildly inaccurate. Lastly, it would be nice if two instances of the app could be linked to the same Switch console (e.g. both mine and my wife’s iPhones) for co-parent monitoring. Assuming the app fixes all of the above, this app could actually fulfill its assumed promise. From there it would be amazing to also be able to set parental controls for my kids’ the app 3DS consoles using this same app. Even cooler would be if screen time limits per kid were enforced cross-device, which would allow parents to mange total daily screen time regardless of which the app device their kids are using. After all, what’s the purpose of making parents establish the app accounts and IDs for each kid if not to ultimately provide features like this? Or is it just so the app can track, profile, and sell stuff to my kids? Disappointing.
  • Delightful, but Room to Improve

    By Self-improvement junkie (Pcmac user)

    I love this app. The only reason I am not rating it 5 stars is that I am delighted by the existence of the app but can see some obvious ways to improve it. The app gives me information and control (even remotely) over auto-shutting down playtime on the the app Switch without physically controlling the hardware, which is really great for younger kids who try to break the rules in a larger household full of small children. The app is nice and usable too. At the age my kids are, though, it would be nice to have more options for individual users. Individual time limits would be appropriate, as well as setting time exceptions without having to alter them later on, such as doing an “add thirty minutes” option rather than altering the day’s limit and having to change it back, or alternatively disabling the time limit altogether. I would also like to have a restriction option, which could be an additional tack-on to the individual limit feature mentioned previously. I would also like to have a start-time restriction, kind of like the bedtime alarm but prevents usage between the designated start time and bed time. I imagine that features like these will probably come up over time, and in the meantime I will be happy about the app’s features as they are. Thanks for coming up with this, the app!
  • One thing missing

    By Adamoji (Pcmac user)

    This is a great app that helps me control when my kids can play on their Switches. For the most part it works pretty well as expected. The one major feature that I see missing is the ability to set a "start time." For example, you can set a time which is considered "bedtime" and the Switch will suspend itself and the child will not be able to play anymore past that time. Which is great for preventing them from sneaking out of bed and grabbing their Switch and playing it. BUT, for some strange reason you can’t set up a start time, so if the kid wakes up at 6 AM and you don't want them to play until 8 AM too bad. They can wake up at 6 AM and play on their switch for two hours before you even wake up and there's no way to stop it. Please the app add this feature and I will rate it five stars.
  • EDIT: Unacceptable

    By rcky.Dogmeat (Pcmac user)

    EDIT: after reading other reviews I’m changing my rating to one star. The issues are obvious, there is no excuse for the app to have not addressed these issues. The lack of password protected accounts with individual time settings renders this app completely useless, and my other complaint (the timer still counting while game is paused on the home screen) is a distant, yet valid, concern. I was super excited for the features of this app but the actual user experience is a little lackluster. I wish there were a way to add a time limit per user, since I have more than one child using the device, and their timer still counts down while a game is paused or even on the home menu. If I need them to do a quick task I’m either making them lose some screen time or waiting for a chore to get done before they can conveniently close their game. I do love the intention and it does work well otherwise, just a few minor tweaks would make this a 5 Star app.
