Nintendo Switch Parental Cont‪…‬ 17+

Great app - works really well.

Couple of thoughts for improvement:

1. Please consider having a time that play cannot commence before. Eg, if you only want the child to play after school (and not before school), then you could set a commencement time of say 3.30pm.

2. The intervals for play time limit seem quite inflexible. Perhaps 15 minutes is not enough, but half an hour (double!) is too much. It would be nice to have smaller increments, say every 5 minutes, for play time limits less than an hour.

3. If you want to give your child more time, instead of choosing to disable alarms for the day or change the play time limit, can you add an option that gives the option to increase play time only for that day, in say 5 minute increments? That way there is still a restriction and it is valid only as a one off for that day. This would be quite helpful.

If desirable to keep the user interface simple, these options could be enabled by a check box (eg, 1. show smaller time increments, 2. Allow device to only be used after a set time), 3. Extend play limit for today.

These would be quite straightforward changes. Thanks for considering these ideas.

This app makes it so easy to mange my child’s devices. Would like to see functionality added that allows a zero minutes play (so when children have lost privileges the device cannot be used - currently the minimum time you can set is 15mins. Would also like to see ability to ‘blacklist’ apps - so, opposite of white lists. There are some apps I don’t wish my children to be using but they still fit within the age bracket. Thanks for a really great app tho - the flexibility, functionality and interface are super easy to use.

Overall a great App, I love that I can have the Gaming stoped by a certain time, setting times is easy, would be great to have a play no earlier than... option, we have a 9 yr old that will wake early to play when he should b still sleeping.
My only gripe is it’s confusing to set up profiles for each child especially when they both have switch lites and a joint switch console, ( 3 consoles) my son plays games my daughter also wants to play but she can’t if my son has downloaded it on his Nintendo shop profile, the only way I can see them being able to play each other’s games is if u buy the physical game at the shops. I found it so confusing both my kids somehow ended up with 2 profiles.
