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.

  • Useful, but…

    Great that I can limit my kid to a certain number of hours per day, but what if today I want to give him an extra hour when he’s out if time? Right now the only option is to disable the parental controls for the day. How about options for a set number of additional minutes like with iOS screen time?
  • It is awesome

    It would be great if there could be an option to customize when the Switch could be used again after the bedtime limit (instead of just having it be 6AM no matter what.) Also, it would be great if it was possible to add certain games to the Whitelist while still not allowing all features. Like add it to the Whitelist, but still not allowing online play or social media posting. Other than that, great app, Nintendo.👍
  • It’s been helpful but needs more features

    It would be great if, in addition to, a bedtime there was a wake up time. For example, the earliest you could play is 8am.
  • "Didn't play" IS NOT TRUE

    "Didn't play" does NOT literally mean your child didn't play--if you unlock (or your child unlocks because he saw you enter the PIN) and he plays, you will still see "didn't play" and the calendar view shows gray numbers as if the switch wasn't used. Very misleading.
  • Great

    I would like to set what time my child can start playing games in the morning. Otherwise he likes to wake up at 4am just to play games.
  • Great idea, if it actually worked.

    There is really no excuse for how poorly this is set up. I have two kids, so two Switch users. Why can’t I set limits for each kid versus having to go in and modify the limit after the first kid plays? Why can’t I choose my time increments instead of being forced into 15 minute intervals. I’d like to add 5 minutes at a time, not 15. The app itself isn’t set up well and to get it to refresh to see their time spent, I have to close the whole app and have it reboot and it takes time for it to update. I see reviews from years ago complaining about the same thing so clearly Nintendo doesn’t remotely care.
  • Needs a lot of work.

    Needs a lot of work to be labeled parental control. There’s very little you can control actually.
