User reviews

Please add the ability to upgrade child accounts from any age

I got my ps5 and when my brother was setting up the settings he accidentally made my account a child account and now I have to wait 5 years to change it back because it won’t let me upgrade the account

Useless app

Why didn't Playstation just have this built into the PS5? That's honestly beside the problem. You have to make an account for your child which essentially takes hours. Ffff this app

This app SUCKS

I’ve spent the last 2 hours trying to manage the playtime feature while on the line with PlayStation customer service. This app and the PlayStation parental control settings are absolute garbage. For a company as well funded as this, they need to hire a consultant to remap and rebuild this app from scratch. Nothing saves. No leverage for parents to really do anything. This app is a gimmick at best. 👎👎👎

No pushes, time sync fault

I don't know what they write inside the app, iOS say that app not sending any push notifications and there are no settings for this app for that. Extend time with one click - failed for this app. What about bug with sync daylight time? App simply crushing. This is Sony! Japan quality.

It’s its alright
