Xbox Family Settings

It’s great the timer helps my son get off when it’s time too

I have that parents can control my game!!!!!!

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.

Need to have a better method. That was miserable getting money on my sons account

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.

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.

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.

If it works then it is good but the limits often do not work.

Usually works pretty well, but it can be frustrating when it times out repeatedly while trying to refresh notifications or approve time requests.

Doesn’t work- completely messed up my account
