Microsoft Family Safety users say on Google Play
An extremely useful tool for helping keeping an eye on and protecting younger ones indulging in the digital age. Like all similar tools, grown-ups are key, in-control and must review and assess often - but tools like this aid that. Thank you Microsoft and well done!
Instructions Lag behind
Update: Looks like MS reverted this change, but without changing the version number. Well done again. But at least after uninstall/reinstall works again. After the last update I just get this popup, XBox settings are no longer here, but you can manage them with the XBox Family Setting app. Ok, another app, but hey, what could possibly go wrong. So I click the conveniently offered link to the new XBox app, and then, bam: "This app is not available in your country." Thanks MS, you broke this too.
rough. The app asked for feedback but bugged and can't submit. I don't get notifications for more time requests on my phone but I do get emails. Clicking in the email opens the web page which I have to authenticate with instead of opening in the app. Then when I go into the app sometimes the notification is in the notifications area, but if I've accidentally looked at it and it goes away, I can't find the request easily again. managing time is my primary use case and it isn't easy.
Can no longer add YouTube time on Xbox. The app gets the requests, but adding more time does nothing, YouTube remains blocked.
