Great App w/ Minor Issues
This app is great for managing and moderating all of my children's game time. Rather than having to constantly watch the clock to see how long they have been playing, on top of them constantly bugging their mom and I to play, I am able to set specific times they're allowed to play and for how long. Now that the app will moderate their time for me by forcing them off after two hours, etc. I can just let them get on the Xbox whenever they want and know that they won't be on ALL day. Yep only complaint I have is that when you add extra time, it doesn't seem to add the time correctly for some reason. It seems like sometimes it doesn't add whatever time they still had left to the extra time that I added. It just simply gives them an hour etc. Otherwise, this app is amazing and my wife and I use it regularly now. -
Suspend Play
Good application to monitor and change XBox settings without having to go through the console... One recommendation: Add a “Suspend Play” button / option for the parent to suspend play as easy as it is to extend play. -
Should be combined with Microsoft Family Safety
I now have two separate apps - Microsoft Family Safety and Xbox Family Settings - that I can use to manage my kids’ access to their devices. I can set app-specific limits in the former, but not the latter. Other settings are available in the latter but not the former. Why have these not been consolidated into a single app that can do everything? -
Easier to use
Makes it a lot easier to control kids settings....would be nice to be able to add or remove family members from it though. -
Great app! So much quicker to use than the Family Safety web site. The "Add Time" button is gold: Never understood why this was possible when time was requested by the child but not proactively through the Family Admin panel without adjusting their daily limits for that day of the week.
-
Addition needed please
Please add the ability to change whether my child needs permission to make purchases or not. This is the main thing I use and it’s basically the only family safety setting missing..

Suspend / Pause button
I know it may not be popular but I need an effective way to get my kids attention without physically standing between them and the TV. Please add a “pause” button for us parents! Great app -
What an App!
A simple to use way to monitor my kids screen time without having to go to a cumbersome website. 5 stars, would limit playtime again!

Great app and easy to use. I would like to see more functions added such as the ability to add funds to child accounts.
-
Good but can't add more time such that it doesn't get used up when child is not playing. Ie added time instantly starts to dissappear rather than waiting for child to log on and play....

Has a few issues with the time frame. I have set times between 4pm and 8:30pm But they are capable of jumping on anytime. Also they can play for an hour and it doesn't register on the app Other than that it's good

Audio alerts would be helpful...
...to go along with the banner pop ups when a child requests more screen time. -
I like that I can limit the time for my kids, I have it scheduled to start at certain times when my kids have school. Well now my kids are out of school for a month I went to change the time and it says theres irregularities with my account so put my phone number in to get a code and it says theres a problem with the service so now I can't change anything.
