Description
As a parent, do you sometimes ask yourself questions like...
Does my child spend too much time playing games?
What sorts of games does my child play?
Can I restrict games according to my child's age?
If so, this might be just the app for you!
Nintendo Switch Parental Controls™ is a free app that allows you to easily monitor your child's use of the Nintendo Switch console.
(Please note: A Nintendo Switch console with the latest available system version is required to use this app.)
With Nintendo Switch Parental Controls, you can:
1. Monitor your child's play time on the console.
Set a daily play time limit, which notifies your child on the console when time's up for the day. You can also check this app to see how long they've been playing. If necessary, you can also use the "Suspend Software" feature to make the console go into sleep mode when the set time is reached.
2. Find out what games your child plays.
Nintendo Switch Parental Controls provides convenient reports that show you what video 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.
This will help you learn what games your child enjoys most.
3. Set restrictions to ensure your child can play safely, no matter their age.
Easily restrict features of the Nintendo Switch console as appropriate for your child. This includes restricting games above specific age ratings.
Attention:
● In order to use the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app, a parent or guardian (aged 18 or above) needs to have a Nintendo Account.
● You can set purchasing restrictions, including restrictions on purchasing products and services in Nintendo eShop, in the Nintendo Account settings.

Ratings and Reviews
Exceptional app with a lot functionalities that work, not invasive. Highly recommended.
Worthy of try it, very happy with it.
Good but needs user specific controls
The interface is easy to use, and gives great info about game use and time. However, the entire setup has a major design flaw - it presumes that each person in the family has their own Switch. Where you’re sharing a single Switch between all the members of the family, you really need the option to assign controls per person. Without that functionality the full potential of these controls can’t be realised.
Woeful
This is probably the worst piece of software ever made. Kids know more about these things than parents, so you would think Nintendo would make it easy. Oh no, nothing makes sense. There is no direct correlation to what the console asks you to do, to what you are asked to do on this software.
I’ve had to delete my child’s profile on the device and put his on as an adult (he’s 9) as you can’t make any changes that as a parent, you feel fit for your child to have access to.
