Description of Nintendo Switch Parental Cont…

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.

Reviews of Nintendo Switch Parental Cont…

  • Overall a fully functional parental control

    Let’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
  • Needs two things to be much more useful

    Firstly, 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.
  • 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!
