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.
● In order to make use of all of the features and settings available in the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app, all linked Nintendo Switch consoles need to be using the latest system version.

Good but could be improved - Microsoft as reference!

I would give this app five stars but after using Microsoft's Family
Safety for a while I can see some missing but very helpful for parents
features that could be implemented in future releases of Nintendo
parental control:
1. Ability to give child access time on request (normally console
would be locked). Right now child can reach for Switch any time. With
on request access parent approval via app would be needed - parents
then give a child agreed amount of time per given day.
2. Ability for a child to request more time when it is almost up
directly on console. Parent receives then notification in his app and
can decide whether to give more time or not. For now one have to go
into Nintendo app settings and extend time at given day for instance
from 1 to 2 hours - this setting will be effective next week on the
same day also if we forget to change it.
3. Ability to setup screen time for individual console users.
I'm still happy that parental control works on my son's Switch, but it
can be better :-)

Must have app for parents

4/5 because my kids can play before school.
Could you please add wake up time, do disallow to play before it? So my kids will be able to play any time between 4pm and 7pm, but not more than 1 hour.

Thank you.
