Great idea but what's the point of having to option for my kids to ask approval if it dont actually ask me... I had to actually change the setting for them to add anyone and then back to ask approval just so they can add each other on mine craft.... pretty pointless really

Not impressed
The old app was better. I could add money to my sons account, limit time on specific games, and it just seemed to have a lot more options. On this app I can’t do that and the old app was completely changed so now I have to go to some website to change the time allowed on my sons games. I give him a little extra time on weekends so it’s a pain to have to go through extra steps. I’d love the old app back, or combine the two to give us parents those options again. -
Why can the kids bypass the limits? The app literally has no purpose since it can simply be bypassed. App looks good:) :(

Privacy settings
I was just trying to change privacy settings on another device since I do not own a Xbox and i want to do online play so it recommend this app and it did not show me what I looking for and every time I go to the Microsoft page and click privacy and online settings it brings me to support and it only talks about changing the settings on Xbox and nothing about a Microsoft account on the Nintendo switch. -
This app is useless.
This app is basically useless. It doesn’t allow you to do anything except pause time limits. If you want to go and edit specific app limits, you have to use a pc on the website. If you send a notification to add more time, it doesn’t show up in the notifications. You can to again go to your pc check your email and click the link. Please add some more functionality.

Freezes and unresponsive
Does not seem to work at all. Family members don’t show up and the app just freezes. Piss poor

Make this more user friendly
This is much better than the Family Safety App (a nightmare). But I think you must have both apps if you want to manage your kids screen time. Clunky and counterintuitive. Adding screen time should be easy. It’s not. You can only add time in specific blocks. For Instance: If you want 1 hour and 15 minutes for your kid you have to select either 1 hour OR 15 minutes...then wait for your kid to shout from the basement “I thought you said 1 hour 15 minutes! My time just ended!” THEN you can add the rest of the time. Once you select a time you’re bound to it. It’s a pain and silly. This is one example of the sloppy design. -
A few features missing, I.e. specific game time restrictions. Some terminology is confusing, does pause mean to stop access or pause restrictions.

Problem
When my son asks for me to add time, say we add an hour, he has to play that hour non stop. If he stops playing, the timer does not stop. If I give him 1 more hour and he wants to split that throughout the day, it does not let him. That is so counter intuitive to what the core value of this app is. He needs to learn to manage his time not feel like he has to immediately use it or lose it. -
Useless if you don't have a child account. You can't add restrictions or track play time or do literally anything with your own account.
