Description

Nintendo Switch Parental Controls™ is a free app for smart devices to keep you engaged with your family's gaming activities on Nintendo Switch.
◆ A Nintendo Switch console with the latest available system version is required to use this app.

This is recommended for people worried about things such as:
1. Is my child spending too much time playing games?
2. What kind of games is my child playing?
3. Are the games my child is playing age-appropriate?

Below are three special features of the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app:
1. Monitor play time on your console.
Set a play-time limit and the console will notify users that the time limit has been reached.
Parents and guardians can check the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app to see if the time limit has been followed.
It is also possible to suspend gameplay automatically when the play-time limit is reached.

2. Check up on your console's gameplay.
The summary function allows you to easily see what 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.
It's an easy way to see what kind of games your family is interested in.

3. Restrict console features.
Nintendo Switch functions can be restricted to prevent the console from playing games above a certain age rating.

Attention:
◆ An Internet connection is required to use this app. Cellular data may be used. A Nintendo Account (for ages 18 and up) is also required.
◆ Restrictions to Nintendo eShop purchases can be set from Nintendo Account settings.
◆ Your use of this app is subject to the Nintendo Account User Agreement available at support.nintendo.com.
◆ In order to make use of all of the features and settings available in the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app, all registered Nintendo Switch consoles need to be using the latest system version.

Almost completely useless

This app is a complete disappointment if you have more than one child using the switch. I’ve been waiting to see if they update it to have more useful features, but still nothing after years of waiting. So many things wrong with this app like not being able to set time limits and content restrictions per user and not being able to restrict time limits throughout the entire day. Currently you can only restrict time from between 4:00pm and 11:45 pm. So if you want to kick your kid off at 12:30 am, or don’t want them to play it first thing in the morning, too bad for you. And how are you supposed to set content restrictions when you have a 16 year old and a 7 year old using the same machine? What a major disappointment from a company that has all the resources and ability to create an app that actually gives parents the ability to properly control their children’s electronics use. Microsoft’s parental controls are superior in every way compared to this embarrassment of an app from Nintendo, and it appears they have done this deliberately to get parents to buy a switch for each user.
