## Xbox Family Settings Reviews in United States

### ***** "Love the timer"
It’s great  the timer helps my son get off when it’s time too
-- BigboySF26, 2025-01-03

### *---- "Parental controls are gay"
I have that parents can control my game!!!!!!
-- Gummychris, 2025-01-02

### **--- "Doesn’t work all that well"
It’s nice when it works, but doesn’t really work most of the time. Like trying to approve purchases for my kids. Nothing seems to go through or even give me the ability to approve half of the time.
-- Grumpy8512, 2024-12-26

### *---- "How much harder can you make it?"
Need to have a better method. That was miserable getting money on my sons account
-- Xmas Blues, 2024-12-25

### ***-- "App Review"
The whole parent management concept is much more difficult then it should be. Notifications don’t come through timely, my kids are still able to buy stuff despite parent controls, it is a little disappointing.
-- Aco11, 2024-12-25

### *---- "Approvals never work, parental software an afterthought"
Child entered gift card, but can’t approve purchase to let him buy the game. XBOX and Microsoft having separate parental programs that don’t seem to sync up make using XBOX a real headache over and over again.
-- Frustratedsoft, 2024-12-25

### ***-- "Longtime User and Family Admin"
This app works better than the old one, but it’s still an annoying experience.

I am now limited to adding two hours of time at a time.  I can go to their profile and add additional time in two hour increments, but the app seems to freeze sometimes when I do this.

You can only add money to your kids accounts in odd amounts.  If my son gets $20 cash from a relative and wants to exchange it through me as Xbox currency, my closest options are $15 or $25.

This is baffling and feels hostile towards me.  I’m not buying gift cards at a drug store, I am directly on *your* app trying to give my son money to use for games on *your* platform.  This is so shady and gross.  Why can’t I pick an exact amount?

Why can’t I just add like $100 to my account and then dole out an allowance to my kids  $10 a time every week on my own?

The app works, it just isn’t as helpful or useful as it could be.  And it feels like that is by design.
-- Skullinane, 2024-12-25

### **--- "If it works…"
If it works then it is good but the limits often do not work.
-- Bc555r, 2024-12-15

### ****- "Mostly Great"
Usually works pretty well, but it can be frustrating when it times out repeatedly while trying to refresh notifications or approve time requests.
-- The Mad Sourcerer, 2024-12-10

### *---- "Terrible"
Doesn’t work- completely messed up my account
-- Notffhjk, 2024-11-17

### *---- "Terrible to navigate"
Can’t change time limit via the app, not intuitive
-- ledeutsch, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Too complicated! Not like Apple."
It doesn’t work right half the time. My son is always asking for more time when he should have the time.
-- Briandarmafall, 2024-11-08

### *---- "Use to work great"
Doesn’t actually report time being used.  It’s hard to keep track of total screen time when it doesn’t track it at all.  It has had other issues over the last few months but this is the worst one currently
-- axabtw, 2024-11-07

### *---- "Useless"
Useless app.  Screen time no longer shuts off when tim is up and pause function is no longer available.
-- Brent856, 2024-11-06

### *---- "Trash App"
Doesn’t show the correct remaining time. Notifications shot time requests don’t show up sometimes.
-- rob3747383, 2024-11-05

### *---- "App"
This app isn’t working at all. I keep sending an invitation and it says it’s already expired every time I send a new one.
-- grosakupachi, 2024-11-04

### *---- "No time tracking"
The feature I most looked forward to was time tracking and limit setting. But you can’t set time limits if it doesn’t track any time to begin with. There’s a tooltip about delayed reporting but I have no data and usage. Nintendo has this figured out with their app so it’s surprising Microsoft dropped the ball on this.
-- MtsDheim, 2024-11-01

### *---- "Does Not Do Anything"
This app would be great if it did anything that it was supposed to do. It does not accurately track time, and it does not prevent family members from playing as much as they want. On occasion it will cut them off at the time of day you set, but even that isn’t consistent.
-- Funny6543, 2024-10-27

### *---- "Won't work now"
What happen with this update?! That now I can't add time through the app!!! What's the point of the app if I can't add time.
-- Cali_Elle, 2024-10-26

### *---- "Needs work"
Really bad user interface and app quality. Frequently does not recognize time played on Xbox in a timely manner. Will say there is 5 minutes of screen time left on Xbox but not show any time used on the family app.
-- ABhunt, 2024-10-25
