application ok pour voir le temps de jeux . petit point a revoir , compte administrateur présent sur la switch , sans sécurité donc les enfants peuvent également se connecter dessus pour jouer , acheter ... un code a taper pour l'accès protégerait un peu mieux .

permet de limiter le temps d'écran aux enfants sans stress ni cris, l'enfant est averti plusieurs fois avant la coupure, l'option de l'horaire de début de jeu est très pratique car mon fils pouvait se lever de très bonne heure pour jouer ... si je devais l'améliorer j'étendrai jusqu'à 10h l'heure de début (actuellement 9h) afin de ne pas faire d'écran trop tôt le week-end et prendre un petit déjeuner familial ...

les enfants je vais vous dire un truc si vos parents ils vous bloque votre switch c'est pour que vous arrêtez d'amuser trop parce que parce que les écrans c'est pas bon pour les enfants je vous conseille d'aller dehors aujourd'hui j'ai 42 ans et quand j'étais enfant je jouais toujours dehors

Lack of controls

No OFF button?!!! And no way to set blackout times when they are not allowed to play. Really not a good design in terms of actually controlling play time.

🤔

It’s a good app, but the kids stealing credit cards to play 16+ games won’t think so.

Good parental app

Use this app to control the kids Nintendo usage. I limit them to one hour a day unless they’re good. Controls could use a little bit of fine-tuning for example, adding an hour of playtime also extends bedtime…

Easy and Effective

The app is great to set daily limits and easy to add more time if I need to. I like getting a daily count to know how much switch my kid is playing and going over the monthly summary together.

Turn off automatically

It took me a stupidly long time to find the toggle that automatically turned off the Switch once my child’s time was up. At first it would just set off an alarm - my child quickly figured out that he could just turn off the sound and keep playing. User error on my part. Don’t be like me.
