  • Not happy and will be leaving as much of the microsoft platform as humanly possible.

    Long story however the app promises a lot and doesn’t deliver. Unfortunately, it’s not limited to Apple that I can tell and is across the whole platform. I spent a lot of time setting my children up for xbox both console and pc. My kid was playing Roblox and somehow was able to spend $45 despite having all the settings set to requiring permission to make purchases. They denied the refund request despite those settings being in place to begin with. While impossible to ever really boycott Microsoft, I’m going to move away from it along with my children since safety isn’t really their true intention since it doesn’t work. Totally disappointed

    I keep going in circles trying to be able to see my kids activity. It keeps sending me to a website and doesn’t tell me how to fix it

  • Update the time issues

    I will change this to 5-stars when you fix the following issues: 1.) Please add 15-minute time intervals instead of just 30 minute time intervals. I can do this on my Nintendo Switch and PlayStation parental controls apps. 2.) When granting a child extra time, it does not add to their existing time. So unless I wait until the exact final minute to add extra time, they will not get the full extra time.

  • Clunky App

    It works, but it is very clunky to use. For example, to purchase a game for your child you need to make a request from the child to the parent, which the parent must approve, then the Xbox gives you a manual URL to enter and a code. You go there and enter the code. Then you must re-login as a parent on the computer, and Microsoft sends your email a code, then enter the code from email on the computer to log in and approve the purchase. Then instead of just your credit card number, you need to fill in your full address information. It is bizarre how bad the buying experience is. Nintendo’s parent’s app is a million times easier to use.

    Not user friendly. Xbox is the most complicated and annoying machine. Too many sign ins, sign ups passwords, subscriptions. What happed to the good old gaming consoles where you popped a game in and played??

  • Does not work

    Adding money is completely ridiculous.

  • Frustrating

    We just purchased an Xbox and I had no idea how frustrating the entire Microsoft system would be. Xbox, Xbox family, family safety- so many accounts to have to sign into to manage one simple request. I had to create a new account for my child, only to have nothing work under that account so they have to use mine anyway. Every time we sign on we have to do multiple verifications, and if you do it more than 3 times or so (making any changes or even just trying to navigate around) it locks you out for days. I have wasted so many hours just setting up the ability to play.
