Description
Been using Xbox Family Settings for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you control your kids’ Xbox usage – you can set time limits, content restrictions, and keep an eye on their activity. Pretty solid app if you’re a parent with kids who game.
Here’s what you can do: you can add your kids to your family account, set screen time limits so they don’t game all day, and block certain games or apps if they’re not age-appropriate. There’s also a feature where you can approve friend requests – gotta keep an eye on who they’re playing with, right? Took me a while to figure all that out but it’s actually pretty useful.
Look, if you’ve got kids who play Xbox, you’ll probably find this helpful. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a little clunky at times – but overall it does the job of giving you control and peace of mind. Worth checking out if you need to manage your family’s Xbox usage.
Editor Opinion
I've tested a bunch of parental control apps and Xbox Family Settings is one of the better ones. It's got all the features you'd expect - time limits, content filters, friend request approvals, etc. And - and they're generally pretty easy to set up and use. The app could use a UI refresh to make things a bit more intuitive, but it gets the job done. If you're an Xbox household, this is a solid option to keep your kids' gaming in check.

removed xbox from family settings app with no warning and the app does not allow a sign in. Errors out before you can even get started.
App has improved a lot. There's a bug where if end time is midnight it'll allow next days allotted time even though start time doesn't start for several hours later....
I create settings for my child such as max hours of play per day & age ratings, & they often reset to 24hr access and age 18+. The only effect...
