Description

Nintendo Switch Parental Controls™ is a free app for smart devices to keep you engaged with your family's gaming activities on Nintendo Switch. ◆ A Nintendo Switch console with the latest available system version is required to use this app. This is recommended for people worried about things such as: 1. Is my child spending too much time playing games? 2. What kind of games is my child playing? 3. Are the games my child is playing age-appropriate? Below are three special features of the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app: 1. Monitor play time on your console. Set a play-time limit and the console will notify users that the time limit has been reached. Parents and guardians can check the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app to see if the time limit has been followed. It is also possible to suspend gameplay automatically when the play-time limit is reached. 2. Check up on your console's gameplay. The summary function allows you to easily see what games have been played on the console recently and how much time was spent playing each day. View daily reports and monthly summaries of play activity. If you choose to receive push notifications, you'll be notified when a new monthly summary is available. It's an easy way to see what kind of games your family is interested in. 3. Restrict console features. Nintendo Switch functions can be restricted to prevent the console from playing games above a certain age rating. Attention: ◆ An Internet connection is required to use this app. Cellular data may be used. A Nintendo Account (for ages 18 and up) is also required. ◆ Restrictions to Nintendo eShop purchases can be set from Nintendo Account settings. ◆ Your use of this app is subject to the Nintendo Account User Agreement available at support.nintendo.com. ◆ In order to make use of all of the features and settings available in the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app, all registered Nintendo Switch consoles need to be using the latest system version.

    I have 5 kids the app only lets you manage 3 switches… it’s useless. Parental control over play times is also very limited. Time window settings only let you set a bedtime. If I only want switches to be available for a limited time after school I can’t do this. Your kid could wake up and play at 3:00am… Also I can’t set time settings for all manages switches from one location. It’s a nightmare to manage time changes because you have to go edit each individual switches settings.
  • The best app ever so good for parents

    The app allows you to only set time limits for the whole console, not by each user. There is no option to exempt certain activities from running down the timer such as even sitting on the Home Screen. Also, temporarily disabling controls on the switch not only temporarily removes the time limit, but it removes ALL restrictions.
  • Great for moderation

    The parent passcode is a great feature, without using the app
  • Paying 2 times to get my child on my account

    Not sure why but I already paid for my child to be on my family expansion pack and it’s not acknowledging his account and asking me to pay twice.
  • Bad design and poor customer requirements collection

    The parental control doesn’t let you set up individual time limits for each user. Whoever was making this app or the parental control policy, Did they think that there was always be one child in the household. The most absurd, parental control design I’ve seen.
