Great Nintendo application!
This is a high quality Nintendo application for managing accounts and settings for the Nintendo Switch.

Works half the time
When time runs out I add time and it doesn’t update on the switch half the time. Not sure the point but have to use the main passcode just to unlock it which defeats the purpose of time management. When time is added it should work with the switch instead of just saying there’s no more time.
Muy buena
Exelente
Needs more granular options
While this goes some way to helping control access for children it really needs more ability to specify what times during the day are appropriate.
Bad
Mario is an evil game peach and Mario and the others in he gang are evil BUT NOT KIRBY GAMES KIRBY IS JUST TOO CUTE THAT I EVEN HAVE A KIRBY PLUSH BUT THIS APP MIGHT MAKE YOU ONLY PLAY MARIO AND NOT PLAY KIRBY!!!!!!!!!!🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Nintendo Switch Parental controls
This service makes it so easy to check on your child’s usage. You can check anytime and adjust time limits to fit your situation. I highly recommend this service for Parents of Children with Special Needs as our Child has.
Great for parents
This app is helpful as we limit our kids’ screen time and ensure they can’t make purchases or chat with others without getting approval from a parent. My kids are safer because of this app.
Needed resource, there is a lag
I’m really glad this exists. It is my bargaining chip with my kid for good behavior / work.
However, almost half the time, the timer doesn’t go through. If you have a kid, and you promised them time, you have to deliver…and just trust they turn it off after an external timer. So wish it worked better.

Monitor screen time and activities
I am thankful I was set limits and see what my kids are up to.
Limiting features
I use the app all the time but the features are so limited. For a company like Nintendo they should be able to make the app way more customizable than it actually is, like being able to put different settings on individual profiles. As well as setting “bedtime” it does not have all times and it only has 15 minutes increments. Also there are glitches where the console has working WiFi and the app doesn’t sync. A very annoying app. Do better Nintendo

Awesome for my kids
Amazing app 💯
Consistent problems with play time extension
This has been going on for YEARS at this point. The switch shows that time was extended but remains locked in times up state. Very frustrating!
Quite a few bugs
The parental controls app is useful in principle, but the play-time extension feature is very unreliable.
First, when I extend my child’s play time through the app, the extension often does not sync properly to the Switch. I regularly have to revoke the extension and then apply it again before it works.
Second, the app sometimes applies the wrong amount of extra time. For example, I select a 30-minute extension, but the app then shows “Extended by 1 hr.” I then have to revoke that extension as well and redo it.
These are major problems for a parental controls app, because parents need to be able to trust that the time they approve is exactly what the child receives. Please fix both the syncing issue and the incorrect extension-duration bug.

Easy to apply time constraints
The app is easy to set up and constrain time per profile. Easy to extend, too, when it makes sense.
Satisfacción
Es una aplicación q ayuda a nosotros los padres a tener el control del uso y manejo de las apps que utilizan nuestros hijos y de el contenido adecuado para ellos según sus edades es satisfactorio tenerlo de utilidad.
Parent conscious app for sure!
I love that wether I am at work or at home, If the family is with the relatives, I can always make adjustments on through the app. If can dictate how much screen time they get as well what access they have via online services, coms, etc.
Time Extension Bug
For a YEAR OR SO I intermittently run into the issue where I will try to extend the play time for my child and the little banner will pop up on the switch that it registered the extension, but the switch will stay locked. I will completely power cycle the switch and it doesn’t resolve. The next day it might miraculously resolve itself. Many others have documented this same bug on Reddit. Wild to me that Nintendo still hasn’t fixed this issue.
