Useless and Rubbish

You can’t even use the app if you’re not an organiser in your family group! It won’t even let you check your screen time limits. Absolute NONSENSE, make it so we can use the app even if you’re a member or a kid!? 😡😡😡

Wish I could add time to play, not an immediate timer.

The “add time” to a daily time limit is very annoying. If I want to add 30 min to the day, it starts a timer even if my child turns off the Xbox. I need to be able to add playing time, not a stop watch. If I want to give them an extra hour for the day, I want them to play for another hour. They are afraid to turn of the Xbox and go outside to play for a bit or go to the bathroom because they will run out of time.
