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.

    It should be another way to turn off the parental control.
  • Missing necessary feature

    As many have said, the app isn’t very helpful as you cannot set restrictions per individual user account on the Switch. All my kids use the same device, so this feature isn’t helpful for me. Also, the usage data doesn’t show up until the next day, instead of near real-time, as I would expect from any app tracking usage. It would be a five-star app if both those issues were addressed.

    It has a daily time limit and tracking. It’s missing the most basic feature every parental control app should have: “lock device/unlock device”. That way I could leave it on charge on the dock, locked, and my kid couldn’t play it unless I unlocked it. So simple but missing. There’s even a play time limit but you can’t set it to zero. What on earth?

    I actually love the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls. It’s very easy to use and changes can happen basically automatically. However I have 4 kids and I can only add 3 really frustrating.

    Why is it hard to delete parental control
  • Constant errors

    This needs an update or something, every time I try to adjust the time limits for individual days it gives me an error and won’t change it. I have to get the kid’s switch and turn it on and refresh the WiFi to get it to work, and at that point being able to control it from the app is pointless.
  • App Doesn’t Work

    App won’t even let me sign in (login info correct as I can sign in online), and Nintendo support doesn’t know how to fix it…
  • Solid App with Strange Limitations

    App works like a champ, except it does not do some things it should. App will not let you set the start time when setting the playtime window for your child. Too many clicks to give an extra hour without unlocking the full day. Limited to three Nintendo Switches. What if I have four kids? Restriction levels are vague. Unable to Whitelist a game from the app, has to be done from device. Switch will reset the Parental Controls if you unlock them from the device and then the Switch goes inactive. Does not cover eShop restrictions.

    Used to love this app. For whatever reason it doesn’t show who is currently playing the switch. It used to be in real time and I could see how long someone was playing. Now it does not and I’m very disappointed! There needs to be a way to see it in live time!
