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.

Decent app, but not able to properly extend play time
The app works well, but when I try to extend the play time available for a given day, it never seems to work. I have to remove the time limit for the day, which defeats the purpose of the app for me.

Parental controls app rating
I can keep control of how much I play my game and know how long I play and see how many days I play of any of my games it’s 👍🏻
Please optimise this for study/break sessions
I have this app because I lack self control, thus it’s the only means by which I’m able to pull myself away from the console. It would be cool if we could set increments of designated play time, just so that users/kids can be rewarded after some sort of less than fun work done - reinforcement and all that. I don’t expect Nintendo to really look at these, but leaving a note somewhere makes me feel better, idk who knows. Maybe this will have some effect; probably not.

Hi hi
Basically useless
-you can't set different limits for different users, only the console as a whole
-I need the option to add an amount of time of my choice. E.g. For doing a chore child earns 20 minutes of screen time--I have to manually set my own timer and enforce stopping when the time is reached, rather than simply adding 20 minutes to the Switch time limit and letting it time out when they're done.
Hell no
My advice…
NEVER TELL YOUR PARENTS OR DOWNLOAD THIS
Sucks!
Terrible. Just terrible
Not what i need
I want a (kid can play between this hour and this hour)
Can be better
A parent should be able to activate parental controls whenever. In my case, if parental controls have been switched off by entering pin in console there’s no way to over ride that with the app.
