I'm not even a parent/Dad at all but I love that they have an app like this to make it easy for parents to set limits for their kids so I'll support this & give it a 5/5 stars rating.😁👍🏻 Nintendo is still the best for family friendly games & PlayStation needs to do a much better job at making family games & supporting this app.
Reviews for PlayStation Family
I am not experiencing the problems others have described. I was able to sign in to my PS account and view my children's activity and can easily adjust game settings as I see fit.
I dont like it, because i cant see the playtime od adults accounts, and I already created a normal account for my kid years ago. Now, I understand that I cant limit gaming time, but seeing playtime should work for all accounts. Nintendos app is much better. And I am not doing a new account for my kid after he has been using it for years.
Sony - not one single user asked you to parent our kids for us. Parental Controls should be OPTIONAL! If a child has a child account on a PS5 the parents should be able to adjust age restrictions (like on PS4). My son has a Season Pass DLC code he cannot use even with parental consent due to your ridiculous parental controls not allowing him to redeem a code or even browse for a game in PS Store on his own profile!
The latest update fixes the crash issues. Overall a pretty good app with a nice, intuitive layout. Quick access to the most common settings I would use. My only complaint is that there are a lot of features that launch a browser instead of having a way to do that item in the app.
So far, so good. I was able to sign in with no app crashes. I don't like that you have to sign in and add funds inside a browser. We should be able to do it within the app. Other than that no other issues yet.
Keeps crashing and doesn't load played time properly. Always get the message "Can't load Something went wrong. Try again"
Please add a feature that you can limit how long one's self can play. Im very bad at keeping track of time and I am also very busy. I want to limit how much I myself can play on the console because I have ADHD. If that was possible, this app would be 5 star!
Constantly crashes and never opens after entering login credentials. Using on Galaxy S23 Ultra with Android 15. Even if they do end up fixing it (I'm sure they will), why can't we have an all-in-one app that does everything? Why do I have to have 1 app for the PS Store, 1 app for messaging, 1 app for remote play, 1 app for family management, etc? These, at one time, we're all in ONE SINGLE APP! Bring back a single app!
Useless. The first thing it asks for is an email address for the child. The entire family account thing is a joke. I want a sub-account that has age restriction. That is it. I'm not providing payment details, email addresses, phone numbers or any other details for separate accounts.
