This is handy to limit kids' use of their Xboxes, but the app itself is problematic. Within the last few months, specifically (likely since the last update). The app just won't load sometimes, and for the last few days, it won't actually report the time they're spending on particular games or apps. This is frustrating and not especially helpful when kids have limits on certain apps but the app won't track the time spent.

DOES NOT WORK!!! Do not download, I used this app for nearly a year and liked it, not really an issue. Then all of a sudden in July 2024 it stopped tracking times accurately and would not work correctly when trying to give more time to my son. Whatever the developers did recently messed it up completely

So yes MS had Family app but it's lacking features that it should have. One should be able to authenticate through the app. I should just have a pop-up in my app that authenticates me. So when my child asks me to install something or change a setting it's easy for me to get something on my phone. I don't touch the Xbox. And that important because MS will ask you to authenticate constantly. It wasted 1hr setting up the Xbox. The UX with family restrictions turned on is shockingly awful.
