Ratings and reviews

Needs better options to extend screen time without needing to change the standard schedule. 2 hours is not good enough. What would be best is to allow us to give an except for as long as we want. Winter break is a good example. My kids are out of school for two weeks. Being able to set an except to screen time from datetime to datetime would be ideal.

Glad to have some control over screen time for kids. The app is a bit clunky, throws a lot of notifications. There is often a delay after approving requests before the approval is received on the console. The experience is not super graceful for the youth users. A discreet visual timer might help them anticipate the abrupt ending of their session when the time expires.

I do not like that the add time is right above the ask permission to buy switch. And Also wish you had the option to set a pin that is required so that even as a parent will be required to change these settings. My 8 year old son used my phone to add time without me knowing, and also turned off the ask to buy, and spent hundreds before I could secure things. Xbox will only do so many refunds a year, so I did get part of it back, but I'm out $100 now.
