Nintendo Switch Parental Cont… Positive Reviews
ExcellentEven though the main purpose of this app is parental control, it’s actually an excellent app to track all kinds of activities on your switch 1 and switch 2. It tells you instantly who is playing now and what game is he playing. And if a game is being downloaded on the device. It gives you a monthly report for each device covering all the users and their activities and how many hours they spent playing each game. And of course the main function of the app is parental control which allows you to limit the kind of contents allowed for your child and the allowed times to play and online communication with other players. It’s clean and simple and does what you expect from it and more. Even if you don’t have a child i recommend that you use it..M-PrimeVersion: 2.3.0
Really Top Class FeatureFirst, i love this app. It is perfect for controlling play time for one child. I think if there were more kids involved I’d prefer the ability to grant time based on account. For younger children i would prefer the ability to shut off all access unless time is granted. I accomplish that by using the “vary by day” and then i have ability to set every day to zero time. Around the house i give the kid ability to “earn” nintendo time. Very motivational. Then i extend his play time when tasks are completed. The app/console interface frequently glitch out though. Like the app still stuck on yesterday. So when i extend (grant) 30 minutes the app gets confused - does it grant 1 hour, picking up on yesterday, or it has yesterday’s total time in mind and the 30 min grant of time still comes off as used up. If forces us to do a sequence of turning of the machine, cancelling, reextending and manually refreshing the app to get it to work right.
This is on 2.2 version of app and Switch 1. If this improves noticeably Im going to be a big fan..Groq1Version: 2.2.0
Love it, just needs 1 improvementWhat a game changer (no pun intended) for parents to have this app! I used to have to hide the switch in different places around the house to keep the kids off of it, which was creating a culture of sneakiness and dishonesty as my children would scour the house to find it and then hide under a bed to play with the sound off so I wouldn’t know. :(
I love that I can control the time they get on the device. I can tell my kids to get chores and schoolwork done first, and then they come and ask me for “their hour” (That’s all I want to give each of them per day). No more sneakiness happening around here, unless I forget to reset all the daily limits to 0 minutes at the end of the week. Which is what usually happens, because Monday comes around and I find a kid on the switch with the time I gave them last Monday. My one request to improve the app—a setting option that resets all the daily limits back to 0 at the beginning of the week. Then my life would be complete and full of sunshine and rainbows..MeganoreganoVersion: 1.21.0
Needs some slight adjustments and better for an older child.I think the idea of this is great…but I knocked off 3 stars for 3 reasons. 1: when I upgraded from an IPhone XR to a IPhone 15 this year….I am one of those people who deletes all of their apps and search history except for contacts and photos of course. So this may have been my own fault but when I deleted parental controls….all of our controls were lost and I was a little mad because my kid wanted to play…so I had a choice of either just letting him play but reminding him of the rules every night….or forcing him to wait and have to hear a temper tantrum about it. I picked my battles and I let him play reminding my 4 year old that the rules still exist. So when I finally got my phone and I went to sign in with our Nintendo account it said account not found. So I waited a day and came back 24 hours later to see if anything happened and it let us sign in and I was like: great!!! Which brings me to my next point: while it is a good idea…it doesn’t really say what it says it will do and I found that it’s only good purpose for us is keeping him from going into Eshop. Or least being able to sign in. It doesn’t really do anything else or least for us. Because he already knows how long he can play for on preschool days and how long he can play for on weekends. While it does have a bedtime I wish it had a start time as well. So if you are going to download this app…okay but I think it would be better for an older child. Yet again my kid is only 4. So right now the only purpose we have found it good for was keeping him from buying stuff other than that we just use our phone and say: when this goes off in 30-45 minutes(week days)an hour(weekends)that means you are all done for the day. And he gets it so I don’t really think the app was worth it for us but that’s just my opinion. I think it might be better for an older kid as you would be able to get more use from it..IAJhCool17Version: 1.19.0
Useful with obvious limitationsHelps control the kids’ playtime, especially when they would otherwise try to sneak some time in when you’re not looking.
Glaring feature omissions though make this not as useful if you also use the switch, and/or if you have multiple Switches. Parental controls don’t allow for setting time limits per account, only per device, so setting a time limit on your kids means setting that same (shared) limit on yourself too. Not practical if you’re trying to adhere to the 30m screen time. If you also want to play, you basically have to keep disabling / re-enabling the time limits practically every day.
It doesnt provide the ability to create passcodes per user acct, so even if you could set time limits per user, it would need to add this as well to avoid obvious workarounds.
Then if you have another switch, the time limits you set are only per device, and kids will instantly figure out they can just move from one switch to the other when their timer runs out in order to double their play time.
Fix those and this moves closer to 4 stars. 5 stars if you could provide more functional capabilities to interact with game data, view more granular playtime information (eg what types of games were they playing), even more advanced locking functionality (like locking individual games rather than the entire device), and more I could write about.
In short, whatever Nintendo team/individual programmer is in charge of parental controls clearly needs more investment from Nintendo..Vikefan82Version: 2.3.0
Overall a fully functional parental controlLet’s be honest. At some point, you need to be the parent, and discuss things like gaming time and content with your kids. It’s hard, but you as the parent inherit this responsibility. Nintendo can’t autopilot the entire process for you.
What they can do, however, is give you the means to monitor playtime, who’s playing what, and give you the tools to restrict playtime. It does the job perfectly fine, in addition to giving you as the parent the ability to remotely suspend the software at the end of the time limit if you feel as if your child is unable to understand the concept of stopping when their time is up.
One thing which would be great, however, would be to be able to select multiple Nintendo accounts to customize controls. As my son plays on my profile, there is a small amount more configuration needed for time constraints, but overall a well done application.GamerDad003Version: 1.19.0
5* for overall ideal…but def lacking some features…Nintendo… excellent job on the switch…as a 29yo father… I have seen how far your tech has progressed and if I’m being honest, quite excited to see AC Valhalla on your platform now(for myself obviously, not my 6yo)… Anyway, I give the parental control app 3* because I really feel like it could use a little more attention.. for instance, it would be nice to have the option to set time limitations on games individually as well as times throughout the day that the switch is unavailable, so more screen time options and maybe it’s just me, but the adult/parent profile and child profile and connecting them to Nintendo is a little bit confusing and would be much easier if you registered your adult account and then registered your child’s account under you..and again maybe it is just me.. but if it is then your UI could be simplified… More in depth time restrictions would be helpful though...Nikolai NitzchëVersion: 1.18.2
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..EashsPiecesVersion: 2.4.0
Great parenting toolAs a parent we juggle many things in a daily basis with our kids. Having a way to limit our kid’s play time or set bed times is a great tool. I have screen time and bed time timers set on my son’s tablet. Lately he’s been gaming with his cousins and friends so he’s getting to the point to where he’s wanting to use his Nintendo more than I would like.
The app allows you to set play time limits and customize bed times per day or have the same settings across the entire week. While this is a great tool, it can be improved by issuing a warning several minutes before their time expires. While as an adult I understand that these are just games, but as with anything in life, you’d hate to put in effort to have it simply wiped clean.
Having a warning or some sort of countdown timer allows users to properly save any kind of progress they’ve made in a game and/or properly say bye to their friends/family if they’re playing online vs just abruptly suspending the game.
The “suspend game” option could be disabled, allowing parents to instead place their child on the “honor system”. This creates the opportunity to teach them character qualities like integrity and responsibility by allowing them to make the correct choice and voluntarily shut down when their time expires. Having a visible timer or warning would help achieve this.
Having a timer/warning as to what’s to come allows them to properly save their game and say goodbye, while simultaneously teaching them that choices have consequences. If you don’t manage your time properly, save your progress and say goodbye to your online pals, you’ll lose any progress made when console use is suspended (if suspend game option is activated)..Aggriv8Version: 1.21.0
Does not synchronize with Nintendo Switch 2It used to work marvelously in Nintendo Switch, but since transferring data to Nintendo Switch 2, not only does it not register any data from the new system (despite setting up the application correctly), but the app continues to display a non-internet connection issue from the system, even though the system can connect to the internet and doesn’t have connectivity issues. Customer service database doesn’t even have the “connectivity issue” error on its FAQ, and every time I try to solve the issue, it’s Customer service scheduled time is done for the day (at least for Spanish)..MissuspenguinVersion: 2.1.1
Wish you could restrict morningsOverall, I think the Switch parental controls are pretty good. They’re easy to use, and the interface is pretty intuitive. However, there’s no way to set a “start” time. If you set a bedtime, it automatically defaults to 6am for the start time the next day, and this can’t be changed. This is annoying if you want to keep your kids from playing before school (or DURING school, now that we’re all stuck at home due to COVID). I’ve seen this request frequently on different fora, but for some reason Nintendo hasn’t seen fit to add this feature. Until it happens, I’ve taken to hiding the switch from my two preteen boys during the day, until all their schoolwork is done, but having to work from home full-time, while overseeing my kids’ Zoom schooling, is already very stressful, and I hate having another thing to add to my cognitive load..AlleecatLBVersion: 1.13.0
One thing missingThis 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 Nintendo add this feature and I will rate it five stars..AdamojiVersion: 1.7.2
Like the control BUT....I love this app because i can control how much my kid plays and what I can restrict. What I don’t like is the bug I noticed right away. I was testing it out and when I switched from a bedtime to NONE, it still was counting down 5 min on the switch, which made no sense. Also I keep getting error messages on my app which I think is weird. Anyways please fix these issues, check the app for bugs nintendo!
UPDATE:
One thing I recently don’t like is that if I disable the parental controls on the switch itself, I can’t enable them from the app. For example I disable the controls only so my son can play “fortnight”. But that also disabled the bed time and the game shutting off. I HATE this! I need it to be where I can disable for that game only but not the time limit. Nintendo please fix this!.Critina89Version: 1.10.0
Disappointing but sometimes usefulPrevious review disappeared.
Many suggestions were in it, some of which I can confirm some others are also saying.
This said. The feature I appreciate is notifications when something is done. I turn down the allowed time to the minimum, since there is no option to lock it outright, during days kiddo isn’t allowed because he hasn’t done his one chore or is in the negative on the behavior chart etc- basically things that mean ‘no video games today’. Anyway, while I don’t appreciate the inability to lock it entirely for zero time, I do appreciate that it dings both his dad and I, who are both logged into the account and both have the app(though it does still have to be the same one), when he tries to download something or anything like that..SLC LunaVersion: 1.18.2
More Specific Times Please!I like everything about the idea behind the app and everything. My only thing is the same as other reviews… Which is that I wish you could set more specific time frames in which the Switch is locked. Like mornings between after 6am. If there could just be like a slider bar where we just set the times where the switch is playable or not, that would be AMAZING. I would definitely review at 5 stars if it had something like that.
Overall the features it does have are already worth it, time limits in general to help kids stay accountable and help parents track times is awesome. I especially like the organization of the data in daily and monthly views so you can see trends for goal setting and having an honest look at what is actually going on..Content SearcherVersion: 1.15.1
Limited parental controlsI’m glad that there are parental controls for the switch however I wish there were more options available, such as Microsoft Family safety app gives for computer use. It gives you option to set up time windows and duration for each day, and allows for time to be requested directly from a device after time has expired. Currently, since I don’t allow my kids play when they want I have all of the time limits set to 0 and have to manually go in and change the set time for that day and then remember to go back in and change it back to 0 after they are done. More detail when a password is tried unsuccessfully would be a nice feature too. Push Notifications tell me what time the attempts were tried but that detail is missing when you open the app..Dad is too strictVersion: 1.14.0
Great tool that needs some obvious improvementsThis is a pretty awesome way to track usage of your Switch remotely to make sure the kids are being honest about how much playtime they are getting in. It allows you to set either a subtle reminder that time is up (good luck with that) or have a hard stop that suspends the software. It even breaks the total playtime down by each user who was on for how long. Considering it already shows how much time each user plays, it is beyond me why you can’t set individual timers, and instead are only able to set one aggregate time for everyone.
This would easily be a 5 star app if such an ability was patched in, but until then I can’t say is useful for much more than seeing how one kid played the whole time while another barely played at all, after the fact..Haze TitanVersion: 1.4.0
Questions and bit concerns..So for the past 2-3 years I’ve had my switch and 2020 during February, the Nintendo suddenly just went offline and will not connect to the internet. We’ve powered it off completely, went into the settings and even brought it to a place for help, but sadly didn’t work. The parent controls went missing when I got my new phone, and now the Nintendo is not letting me put controls on without the internet and I’m extremely concerned and puzzled on what to do. I’ve tried everything and this is my last hope.. overall a great app and I recommend using this..👏👴🏻👑🥰Version: 1.15.1
Okay for self regulation - families, sorryAnyone who has more than one player to a Switch this isn’t going to help, as you can’t limit time by user, just by Switch. Dumb. Just... lock the account after the set time Nintendo. Why is that so hard on the backend? If you’re doing this for one child, or yourself because you completely lack self control *waves* it works a-okay. Mine biggest complaint is that “bedtime” is between 4 and midnight. So if I’m up past midnight... suddenly I can access tomorrow’s playtime.
Self regulators: You can set your time limits and then delete the app. I do this to make it harder for myself to extend the time “just another 15 minutes.” And it works wonderfully. Otherwise it’s pretty easy to bypass. (I’m not knocking the score for how easy it is to self bypass. That’s not it’s purpose.).K8legr8Version: 1.12.0
Pretty goodI don’t use this to restrict gameplay, I’m just using this to see my daily screen time, the time it says I play games for is fairly accurate and I found it to be pretty useful for checking how much time I spent playing games on my Nintendo switch. My only issue is that sometimes when I’m playing on my Nintendo switch it doesn’t notify the app, this usually happens when I’m not playing for a long time or if the app is running on my phone as I am using my switch, I would appreciate it if it could give more accurate results and to notify me when I’m playing for a short amount of time and when the app is still running of my phone.I like mah kfcVersion: 1.17.0
Useful appWhile not without fault, this app is a necessity in helping me manage my kids screen time on the Switch 2. I can see screen time usage by user account and global daily limits on time on the Switch, as well as what my kids are playing. The one feature on my wish list is being able to set screen time limits by user, instead of for the whole system. If I want to set a screen time limit for my two kids, I have to monitor their usage throughout the day to ensure that one child isn’t eating into the other child’s time when they share a time limit..Opener11Version: 2.1.1
Thankful for this appI am very thankful for this app! This app has allowed a healthy balance for my kids. Once their time is up I can either add more or say “not right now” and they are perfectly fine with either answer. Now I think key was starting out right away with this app. Lately I haven’t had to adjust anything because we’ve been so busy but we really appreciate the safety features. I only wish fortnite was under the preteen restriction options. I also love this app is absolutely 100% free! I wish whoever made it would make one for iPhone parental controls!! That would be amazing!.Love this app for our familyVersion: 1.15.0
Please add more time controlsPlease add more time controls!! I can set some with our circle for online game access. Would be nice to not only have a start time but also a down time or pause time. That way I could allow day 30mins before school, then not during school, and then again allow time after school. Going to be essential with all the distance learning happening right now. My other option is to compensate it each night (all electronics are keep in our room at night. Yes, phones and all) and lock it up till after school. To much work for a parent when you could fix the issue. Lastly, the child should not be able to put the switch in air plane mode..FarminwifeVersion: 1.13.0
Good start but easy to get around controlsWas great until my 9 year old son figured out how to disable it pretty easy thanks to his friends. He just deleted the app and reinstalled it to kill the password/face access. Another way is that he went into my settings and just turned off the login via face feature... then bam, no password or face needed to access the controls. Then I wonder why he’s on the thing beyond the limits that were setup. Then he grabbed the pin for the switch itself via the app since you can see it without a password and he changed the pin and at some other point he then deactivated parental controls. No controls is a non-starter. Well, now he doesn’t have a switch to play with for the time being.....Raydog9379Version: 1.7.2

Nintendo Switch Parental Cont… Negative Reviews
Great idea, horribly implementedI 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 Nintendo 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’ Nintendo 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 Nintendo device their kids are using. After all, what’s the purpose of making parents establish Nintendo accounts and IDs for each kid if not to ultimately provide features like this? Or is it just so Nintendo can track, profile, and sell stuff to my kids? Disappointing..FurreverVersion: 1.4.0
Parents need more and better partnershipDuring COVID, playing with friends has become both an important outlet and a concerning pattern and need for my 12 year old boy. Among other things when it comes to helping him be balanced with gaming and school and physical activity and etc, I would like more control over setting a time window with start AND end times that stick. And somehow my kid seems to play through the limits consistently when on Fortnite.
Honestly it makes me want to get rid of the Switch to get rid of that stress and conflict in my life because the way controls are designed now he feels like I am an enemy, doing something to him. It would be way better if there were a way for him to participate in a healthy way. I do appreciate that the controls exist at all but feel like it’s an MVP. I find myself wondering …how might the super smart Nintendo designers enhance what exists and create a kid-facing approach to help them be a part of learning to self-manage and monitor? Pediatricians and child development experts are clear that 2 hrs of screen time is a MAX for healthy well-rounded children, across all platforms. Let’s all work together to make that more viable? Thanks for asking..Mom seeking balanceVersion: 1.16.0
Cannot block viewing of Mature eShop titlesI allowed my kids to browse the Nintendo Switch eShop and found that ALL Switch games were being displayed, including numerous M (Mature) games. Those “M” games have provocative graphics in the eShop even if you don’t click on them - eg the depictions of women for Grand Theft Auto (GTA).
So I downloaded this app, in hopes that I could allow my kids to browse a version of the eShop in which only games appropriate to their age level are displayed.
I set everything up and selected the option to restrict viewing in the eShop. To my dismay, the M games (and their provocative imagery) are still displayed when my kids browse the eShop, on their account! All that the “restriction” does is block a kid from seeing any MORE information about one of those games. For example, if I browse the eShop using my daughter’s account, GTA is still displayed right at the top of the eShop (with the image of the 3 scantily clad women); if I click on it, the eShop displays a screen saying sorry, you can’t go any further, this content is restricted. That’s all that the “restriction” accomplishes.
If I enable restrictions, the eShop should not even display the restricted titles. At all. !!!!!
Come on Nintendo, I expected so much better from you..I’mNotARobot__Version: 1.15.1
Lack of common sense parental controls is frustrating!We are huge fans of the brand, particularly for our kids. But the lack of common sense parental controls and security on the Switch is very frustrating. Why in the world hasn’t Nintendo implemented parental controls that make sense for families? As sophisticated as apps and security are now, there should be a lock passcode option on the device as well as through this app. That way if my kid grabs the Switch, he has to enter a passcode to even open the home screen or use any software. We also need to be able to set start and end times for usage blackouts. Just setting a bedtime doesn’t allow a parent to also exclude early morning hour usage (say, when kids should be getting ready for their day and/or school). I would like to be able to say “my kid has a window of time between 4pm and 6pm and in that he has a 1-hour limit before software suspends. This cannot be that hard to implement and should’ve been done YEARS ago. Nintendo, please do better for the families supporting your brand AND encouraging healthy screen time usage and limits for their developing brains!.ShutterbugLoveVersion: 1.19.0
Not EnoughLike many other reviews, I find I want more from the parental controls. I concur that not being able to set restrictions by player is frustrating. I also do not like the ease in which it seems my kids can get around the controls and continue playing. Mine have numerous times bypassed and turned off the controls. I hate that the controls automatically go away when the app is deleted which my son has figured out is more effective than figuring out my pins. I know this is an issue with my kid and me but I also feel the controls shouldn’t go away because an app is deleted from my phone. We still have a login and I haven’t undone the controls. I also really hate how you can disable the alarms for the day but that you can’t reinstate them at all. And that you can set a bedtime limit but you can’t set a start time limit. While I understand that much of this control needs to be me stepping up as a parent and setting boundaries, the point of parental control features is to help automate those boundaries and help enforce them routinely. Please correct some glaring missing components..Eg200809Version: 1.17.0
Works but is too limitedThe app itself does work for the limited capabilities it has on it. The app can tell you which account has played for how long as well as the games they played. Having this information; it shouldn’t be difficult in implement more restrictions into the app.
It would be nice to be able to set up a schedule with multiple start stop times (kids can play before school, stop when time for class, play on lunch but not last part of school then allow after school til bedtime) but this app is VERY limited and the only options is to either set a certain amount of time (which can start any day as soon as 6am) or you can restrict it to you then have to be available to turn it on with a PIN number every time which can be frustrating when you already have set times you want it allowed. Then there is the final cutoff for the day of bedtime.
Like I said; the app does work and is appreciated vs the nothing that is on the system itself but there is so much untapped potential in the app that I think Nintendo (or whomever developed this) just gave up on..Elc121082Version: 1.14.0
Not what it should beTwo issues. 1. The purpose of setting parental controls is so that you can tailor them to the individual person. This app only allows for the control of the device. This is our family device and I won’t be buying multiple so I can control my kids’ access individually. I don’t want to put controls on four people when I just want to restrict the usage individually for each family member dependent on earning time to play on it (school grades, helping out at home, general free playtime).
Issue 2. The use of the PIN. If my kid goes on my phone and into the app, the PIN is displayed, so not only can they change the parental settings that I have set, but also go on the Switch, enter the PIN I’ve chosen and then they can use the switch for as long as they want and gives them an override for everything that I’ve set up.
Nintendo, it seems like you could come up with something far better. Everyone complains that kids are addicted to video games and don’t do anything else, just like the cigarette manufacturers you should have some kind of obligation to lessen and assist with the regulation of this addiction.Cathy9612Version: 1.10.0
Nintendo’s in controlNot being able to change the 6:00am start time after which the switch can be played during the day (like it does for the other end of the day when using the bedtime feature) has led to morning battles like no other in my household. Video games are pretty much the worst thing for my son to get into at the start his day. “Honey, time to turn off the game and eat breakfast, brush teeth, get dressed, and go to school!”—That doesn’t work on my kid (wouldn’t have worked on me either—lots of kids struggle with transitions). Having to hide it from him every night is a hassle and I don’t always remember to do it.
I would give it five stars if I could restrict game time to after school only. I really fault Nintendo Nintendo for failing to include this obvious feature, especially by now when lots of people have asked for it. When I try to imagine why they would not, by now, have added this, it brings to mind Silicon Valley parents who don’t permit their own children to use the products they create, but are comfortable marketing to other people’s children..No, MimiVersion: 1.10.0
Missing some -crucial- featuresI’m glad a parental control app exists, but I really wish a few features were included that were usually standard in these kinds of apps. (1) Account-specific settings. Right now, I can’t limit my 4 year old’s screen time without also limiting her older brother, my wife, and myself. They have different screen time recommendations, so this is very frustrating. (2) Add-time feature. The only way I can add time is by changing the permanent schedule, or deactivating the limitations and then remembering to reactivate it again. It would be good if I could just add an hour or whatever, without having to remember to change it back later. (3) Onset time. The Switch is intended to be an after-school activity for my kids, but they will get up before school and sneak out just to play it in the early morning, and there’s not anything I can currently do in the parental settings to stop them. I would rate the app 5 stars, if not for these missing features..BrolczVersion: 1.15.0
Missing some fairly obvious features; UI is bad1) Features: for example I should be able to disable a switch with immediate effect for the day, rather than having a minimum of 15 minutes playtime. 2) UI: they use standard iOS controls but in general the layout is terrible. The process for selecting one of three switches in the house involves taking turns tapping UI elements at the top and bottom of the screen repeatedly. Things are not located in streamlined positions. Also the icon for changing switches is a counterintuitive ‘+’ which looks more like you’re adding something than selecting. Needs better design and focus on UX. I’d expect better from a company like Nintendo. 3) Disabling alarms for the day works, but then when you warm launch the app the next day, it still shows alarms as disabled instead of properly updating the UI to reflect the switch’s settings on the current day. You have to completely kill and relaunch (“cold launch”) the app for it to update. This bug has existed for years now, so it’s surprising it hasn’t been fixed..DheugjejdfjriggjsbfVersion: 1.18.2
My opinionOk as a kid that has had this on for a while by my parents I’m going to say I absolutely hated it because if I didn’t want to play when I had screen time but I did after well I couldn’t, also it’s just plain annoying to constantly have to worry about my time On my experiences let your kids have no limits you can set age restrictions tho but by letting your kid play with no limit they will play a lot it the beginning but after they will realize they can play whenever so they will play less not all the time cause when I knew it would cut me off at a certain time I didn’t want to do any chores or anything till after my time but when I got it unlimited I didn’t need to worry about that
And to the parents please don’t threaten to take your child’s time away for every thing they do wrong that is the worst thing you can do to punish your child at least for me that gave me very bad anger issues
It’s not a bad app but it’s just so annoying as a kid.Ammar GarciaVersion: 1.21.0
It has its niche usesThis would be a well designed app if it was advertised that it’s more tailored for use on single user devices. Unfortunately it does not and it’s sad to see it this way. Nintendo seems to hate families who can’t afford to purchase everyone in the household their own Switch. This is evidenced by how limiting player choice is in family shared devices and games and the parental controls in this app.
Biggest hang ups: no ability to remotely disable the Switch from the app (Killswitch). You have to trust the time limits that you place on your Switch and hope that the Switch is accurately recording play time. Unfortunately it also fails to accurately record play time. Most likely favoring less recording and affording MORE play time. The play time and child restrictions affect the entire device regardless of which profile you’re playing under. This is a MASSIVE oversight or blatant attempt to push more users to buy more Switch devices.
I’m not sure what it is that makes parental control apps notoriously bad across App Store and this app is no different. All in all: oversells what it does while underperforming in what it SHOULD be doing.
The pros: it’s really easy to disable alarms and restrictions from the app when the kids go to bed and you finally get some gaming time. The UI is better balanced than most parental control apps where it doesn’t feel so clunky. It was pretty easy to set up. Syncing was quick over WiFi connection. I’ve tried syncing over cellular data and while it still took longer to sync, it worked faster than I expected..LieutenantMangoVersion: 1.18.1
“Parental Controls” is a jokeSo many problems with this app. It was clearly designed by a gamer and not a parent.
What this app needs:
- Clear start and end times that account for all 24 hours of the day. I should be able to say my kids can play from 4pm - 6pm on Mondays. And 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturdays.
- The shut off time controls start at 4pm. This means my kids know that they can sneak downstairs and play after midnight if I haven’t forgotten to set the allowed play time to 0.
- There should be a clear and easy way to shut off the games when playing. You can’t. The only way is to physically turn it off.
- if you enter the PIN to bypass the controls on the physical switch, there is no way to set time limits after that. My kids will bring me the Switch and ask me to unlock it with the PIN. If I give them 30 mins of play time on the app, it will shut off, but if you enter the PIN on the switch, they have unlimited time. You can’t then set a time limit on the app.
- The whole UI is kludgy. It feels like whoever was given the job to create the app didn’t think it through, isn’t a parent, and had zero interest in actually making something useful.
- controls are easily bypassed by kids. It’s a joke. Sometimes I just take the switch away for months at a time because I’m sick of dealing with it. My kids are too young to self regulate. So sick of fighting over time limits..Andria27Version: 1.17.0
More parental options/user specific timesI’ve been using this app for about a year now and have been killing around the idea of writing a review as I think there is some real potential for this app to work amazing and could help Nintendo sell more switches to more families. I’ll start with saying this app works great for what it currently does and would give it a 4.5 star for overall technical function, mild sync delay is the only improvements
Where this App falls short is real world function for parents. Here are some underlying examples of how my family uses the switch. On school days I don’t want my children playing during certain times, and I also want to reward my children with extra switch times for certain behaviors, doing extra chores, etc. I also have multiple children who play on different switches (4 different users, but 3 switches)
2 Features or changes I would love to see:
1. user specific time limits (preferably over multiple switches, but even per switch if not technical issues prevent cross switch monitoring) - while I know a child could easily switch to another child’s user this is an issue that parents can resolve at home. - or add user passwords
2. allowing the child to request additional switch time, in the same way an iPhone screen time works (30 minutes, 1 hour, all day)
I think that these 2 added features (which shouldn’t be much more coding as you already have time limits built in and children can already send requests to disable parental controls) would drastically entice more parents to use this app and to get a Nintendo switch for their family..The Nurse NoodleVersion: 1.17.0
Needs two things to be much more usefulFirstly, multiuser and multi device support. Sometimes, one parent isn’t available, but the other parent can’t do anything because their device isn’t connected. Or maybe mom and dad are on a vacation, and grandma and grandpa can’t get the kids to stop playing games.
Second, we need the ability to lock the screen manually. Use case: my special needs kid gets 45 minutes per day after his simple chores are done. On weekends, holidays, and bad weather days, I often give him more time. The problem is that he gets super engrossed, and is unable or unwilling to disengage without it being a big deal. To be fair, this functionality may exist, but I can’t use the app to try per point 1.
Alternatively, if when entering the pin to allow more usage, the duration was configurable, I could choose say an hour or two or 42 minutes or some other meaningful number..ShiveringBearVersion: 1.19.0
EDIT: UnacceptableEDIT: after reading other reviews I’m changing my rating to one star. The issues are obvious, there is no excuse for Nintendo 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..Rcky.DogmeatVersion: 1.4.0
Almost useless without more robust feature setProblem #1: No user level customizations : everything is global. Time controls, content allowed, everything is set across all users on the system indiscriminately. I want to set passwords for each user account, and set up each user to be able to access ONLY the games I want them to access. They should not even see game icons of games they are not allowed to access
Problem #2:
Play time is global across all users. In a house with 3 players of different ages and only one console there MUST be ways to set time limits on an individual player level. I know I can just enter my password to keep playing once time runs out BUT I shouldn’t have to do this if I’m playing under my account (the parent’s account)
Problem #3 game visibility on home screen. Maybe there are games that I want to play that I don’t want my 5 year old to see even the icon of. Why can’t I hide my game activity from my kids?
NINTENDO PLEASE FIX THIS! I’m not the only one asking for these features!
This system you have set up only works if EACH player in a household has their own switch console! That is unrealistic for many families! Having one device to share is the reality in my house and many many other homes. QUIT being greedy Nintendo and give us the level of control we need to make our ONE console work for us as a family..EzjmoVersion: 1.7.2
Missing optionsThere are multiple reasons this app needs to be fixed ASAP. If I set alarms, my son can only play within that wi Dow. But if for some reason I’d like to change his start and end times the day of, the switch will not update those settings. I’ve noticed that the settings will be set after midnight each night. But, I am unable to change any settings within the same day. Nintendo should most definitely allow the parent to set:
🔸Start and end times and within the day
🔸Volume control
🔸Notifications when child starts and stops playing
🔸Disabling switch if the passcode to turn off parental controls is attempted
🔸to have a start time at ANY time within the day that works for my family. Not what works for Nintendo app creators.
🔸 ability to pause play or shut down all play in that moment if necessary
🔸the ability to choose ANY amount of time that I allow him to play.
Because these settings are not available or the switch will not update once I’ve saved all of my edited settings, I have to disable all alarms in order for my son to be able to play. So now there is NO end time or time limit of play. This is sooo frustrating. I try to limit my son to 2 hours of play at the very most. Most days it’s one hour. He earns time depending on his jobs completed at home.
The options are very limiting to the parent..Brit1224Version: 1.14.0
Good But Lacking One Major AbilityNintendo, this app is a great idea, but why can the settings not be set individually for each specific user? I can't give one child more playtime than another, restrict content more for younger children than for older children, etc. Your parental controls are great, but they need to have the option of being applied per user instead of being applied globally to everyone who plays on the same console. It is unreasonable to buy an individual switch console for each child and monitor them that way.
Until this ability is added I strongly contend that this app is severely lacking. No business from our family will come until we can insure that this ability exists. We would like to purchase a switch when this issue has been addressed, but not until then.
Nintendo, can we expect this ability to come in a future update?.Jlott42Version: 1.4.0
No early morning or user specific limits?This app allows restrictions for bedtime, but the lack of ability to set start time/early morning limits is frustrating. I want to make sure the Switch is not playable before 8am on week days so it doesn’t become a distraction getting ready for school. Seems like it could be implemented easily, so I’m honestly surprised this isn’t a feature. Meanwhile, you can do this on a PS5 quite easily. Also, on the Switch you can only set restrictions per device rather than user. That means if I set an hour per console, my child can play 2 hours by jumping between his home Switch and the Lite. This would also limit the play time for the entire family. User restrictions would be much better. This is also available on the PS5. Where are these features Nintendo?
Update: I still can’t believe Nintendo hasn’t added such simple features..CarrigVersion: 1.19.0
Has potential but lackingHi I am a mom of six kiddos, each child has their own switch. The parent control app only lets you connect 3 switches, my personal switch connected to the app before I bought the kids so they were playing off mine. Now I can’t get mine off to get a kid added to and I have no way to get all my kids on there. Also what is the point of time limit restrictions if it doesn’t lock the kid out? My one kiddo sees the time limit deal, ignores it and keeps playing. I need to be able to lock them out, I also need to babe able to add all my children on this thing. So good app if you only have 3 machines, because it does tell me what they are playing, how long, and restricts purchases (yay!) but it’s seriously lacking in locking them out when they pass their time limit, and being able to add more game systems..KhurtsmomVersion: 1.17.0
Barely usefulWhile this app does allow me to set a time limit for each day and set a bedtime, it is sorely lacking a ton of basic features. Why can’t i have full control over hours that my daughter can play the switch?
There is no way to restrict morning hours, so if i don't take it away at night, then she can wake up at 6am and play it instead of getting ready for school. What is the point in setting a bedtime on the device if i have to take it away anyway?
Additionally, the daily and monthly data usage don’t show when certain games were played just how long total for the day.
Also it should not count being on the home screen towards the time limit. Another issue—I can’t just “add x time” (like 30min or 1hr) as a one time thing. I can only disable parental controls. This is annoying for so many reasons. Mainly, it overrides the bedtime setting , and then if the screen shuts off, i have to disable it again with password. I regret spending so much on the Switch. I had way more control over my old hand-me-down iPad i gave her (then sold, thinking the switch would be better—big mistake)… its crazy that these simple QoL features aren’t just included out of the box..KaylawardleVersion: 1.17.0
Kill switch pleaseI was pleased to hear Nintendo had an app that would help me monitor and restrict my kids playtime. However it doesn’t really work. Half the time it doesn’t log time they are using. Today for example, my son was playing for over an hour when I had it set to shut off after 15 minutes. When I checked the app it said “no time logged” but I was watching him play. It logged 5 minutes of the day before and 50 minutes of the day before that so it does work....sometimes.
If kids are disabling the WiFi connection to get around parental limits (not sure if that is their game but it seems a good explanation) I would like a parental control option to tell the switch to stop working till WiFi is reconnected.
Related to that request, why isn’t there a parental control setting to disable the Switch unless the parent/guardian allows it through the app? I can only restrict time (down to 15 minutes) but I don’t want them to play at all till they’ve been useful (clean rooms etc.)
As Nintendo aims for a younger group of players, be aware that those of us who buy these consoles want them to be rewards but when kids play despite restrictions, it defeats the purpose and annoys your real customers, the parents who hold the purses..RcameauVersion: 1.7.2
Not user friendlyNot user friendly & difficult to connect child’s account with parent’s account. I can supervise and see the Switch activity but my kid’s account still won’t show up in the family group. And then the parent account can’t change anything on the child’s account without going through the child’s email and account. I can’t change my kid’s password (the account won’t accept the password we set months ago) without going through his email and without him being in the family group, so I’m stuck in a loop. Parent should be able to make all changes on the child’s account through the parent’s email/ contacts. Also, everything should be done through the app in the parent’s account, and you should not have to go from the app to online to do the basic functions. If you’re going to have an app, make it be the one place to do everything please..Mom8373Version: 1.13.0
Below AverageI like Nintendo but it’s times like these where Nintendo is really just far behind in what they aim to deliver. As a parental app, this is sub-par with little control over your switch. All it does is monitor how much little Bradley has played on his switch on X day, and in increments of 5 minutes. It’s fine you would think, until the monthly log gets recorded and you realize it doesn’t even tally up the total hours played on each software with legible measurements!
It’s frustrating. The Wii U and 3DS had far better parental control with an actual daily log to measure time played. How is that concept from nearly a decade ago superior to this watered-down load of trash? I would really like to know Nintendo, whoever it is that runs this department needs to completely revamp this app..HkencoskkxldVersion: 1.15.0
User profiles, Nintendo!Restrictions are applied to the console instead of the user profiles. What does this mean? You can't vary restrictions based on the ages of more than one child. Once you give the child access to the console, there's nothing keeping them from playing as a different user profile. I don't want my kids to be able to access my game saves or play mature content, but this just makes parental controls painful to use. What I want is basically what Xbox does. You sign in at the start of a gaming session, and content is restricted to that specific user profile. For my kids to access my profile, they need a password. For their own profile, they only have access to appropriate content and they can request my permission for things they can't access. The Wii U even had separate profile access. I don't understand how Nintendo could hose this up so badly..EsparksVersion: 1.5.0

Almost completely uselessThis app is a complete disappointment if you have more than one child using the switch. I’ve been waiting to see if they update it to have more useful features, but still nothing after years of waiting. So many things wrong with this app like not being able to set time limits and content restrictions per user and not being able to restrict time limits throughout the entire day. Currently you can only restrict time from between 4:00pm and 11:45 pm. So if you want to kick your kid off at 12:30 am, or don’t want them to play it first thing in the morning, too bad for you. And how are you supposed to set content restrictions when you have a 16 year old and a 7 year old using the same machine? What a major disappointment from a company that has all the resources and ability to create an app that actually gives parents the ability to properly control their children’s electronics use. Microsoft’s parental controls are superior in every way compared to this embarrassment of an app from Nintendo, and it appears they have done this deliberately to get parents to buy a switch for each user..Lost..in..spaceVersion: 1.13.0
