Simple to use

Best parental control app. Simple to use without miles of terms and conditions and different settings. I always recommend it to all parents with kids that love the switch a little too much at times

Great app

I own the switch and I mostly use it but I added the parental controls so I could let my nephew play it without him unknowingly messing anything up on the settings or game saves Ive had so I added the parental controls and it’s really helpful that I can lock him out of the games that he shouldn’t play and stuff like that so I really love it

Add Nintendo Alarmo controls to set alarms

Give parents the option to set their kids alarm alarms on their kids Alarmo using this app. Come on Nintendo. A simple feature. Add it. I can’t set alarms while the kid is sleeping. It makes too much noise. Come one
