## Description

Nintendo Switch Parental Controls is a free Chrome extension that helps you supervise your child's Nintendo Switch activity. It supports monitoring on Nintendo Switch 2 and older systems, with daily play-time limits and age-based restrictions.

The extension lets you set per-day play limits, manage GameChat access, view play activity with a monthly overview, and apply age-based restrictions to games and features. A Nintendo Account is required for parents, and all linked devices should be up to date.

## Review summary

The app is praised for being easy to use and for giving parents control over play time and content from their phones. It provides clear visibility into kids’ activity and works across multiple Switches, which helps reduce screen time and offers peace of mind. Common criticisms focus on enforcement gaps (limits can be bypassed) and missing features (per-user syncing across devices, real-time activity view, and certain system-time options). Overall, it’s a valuable parental tool with some desired improvements.

### Pros

- Easy to use and very user-friendly; intuitive setup and management from a smartphone.
- Excellent for monitoring and controlling play time and content; allows daily limits and easy time extensions.
- Provides transparency about activity (which games were played and by whom), aiding parental awareness.
- Works across multiple Switches/devices, making it easy to manage more than one console.
- Helps reduce screen time and offers peace of mind for parents.

### Cons

- Enforcement of daily limits can be bypassed easily (alarm can be dismissed without a PIN).
- Limits are tied to the console rather than the user, so switching devices can bypass restrictions.
- Some desired features are missing or restricted (e.g., zero-minute limit option removed; lack of real-time activity view).
- Advanced controls (like changing the system time) are blocked unless PIN-based access is available, limiting flexibility.
