Love being able to track my kiddos spending and screen time, the screen time limits are very helpful! I don’t like that the screen time limit doesn’t always update in real time.

The Xbox very naïvely tracks time, it kept tracking time at the kid was "playing" despite not being in a game, which is ridiculous and unhelpful. I'm not worried about time the kid is futzing around in the UI, just game time. The kid put the Xbox to sleep while staying signed in took a shower and then came back and had no time left. What is the point of a timer that continues when the machine isn't even on, or when the kids not playing. They should be able to leave it on the home screen or sleep the device and keep their time, otherwise it's completely useless. And I know that the Xbox knows how long they're playing the game, because it counted up exactly what they were doing in each app, which was still less than the total time allotted, but they ran out of time anyways, and I had to give them more time on the app. This is utterly terrible, and apparently a very old issue on Reddit.

Great app

My brother is old of enough to play Roblox like can yall take off the restrictions pls

The whole purpose I got this app was to set time limits easily but they are either not working or easily bypassed

App is a disaster. Not human friendly at all!! Eveything is difficult to manage.

The app does not allow you to approve purchases by others in your family. The game system itself is overly complicated to buy or add new games for your kids.

There are so many bugs that need to be fixed with this app. It drives me crazy. Even though my son has money on his account it keeps telling me I have to add money for him to buy something every time he tries. I also don’t like how if I want to add extra time to his allowed time it immediately starts counting down that time instead of just adding it to the total time he gets. Frustrating.

i've ALWAYS had issues with microsoft (which is crazy because i only use it to play minecraft). but my account is 18+ (im an adult) AND i have xbox gold/live or whatever it is to enable multiplayer (which is crazy you have to do to begin with). However almost EVERY time i try to play minecraft with my friends it tells me that "due to my account settings multiplayer is not enabled". ive gone back and changed that SO many times but this time is different. they want me to download THIS app so i can enable minecraft multiplayer. However, this app is for FAMILIES and people with kids. So, it wont even let me do that because it considers MY Microsoft account as the "management" for OTHER microsoft accounts. so i cant even enable minecraft because it doesnt give me the option unless i add other peoples accounts to my group. Yes, i talked to their Support Virtual Agent on their website and it was EXTREMELY unhelpful. i hope microsoft can get themselves together because there are CONSTANT issues with their servers, logging in, changing peoples account settings without said person even knowing, and god knows what else that i havent personally experienced. if i could give this entire company ZERO stars, i would. they overcomplicate everything so we have to download their apps and pay for the most basic aspects of gaming like multiplayer.
