PlayStation Family

Playtime will not remember previously set schedules if you attempt to turn off a schedule for a short period of time. You have to manually go back in and reset all your scheduled time. Cannot extend time for playtime temporarily, even though there is a button intended to do this. Disappointing work from a large, well-funded, company.

Here’s an idea: A great big red and green ON/OFF switch for parents to disable the PS5 completely for any/all accounts. This button wouldn’t sign anyone out of the PS5, because that’s stupid. It would just simply disable the console completely from the parental controls. Here’s how it would work: you tap the button, it turns off, you tap again, it turns on. Too easy? That’s the point. The setting up of complex schedules/scenarios and unnecessary singing in/out are great for those that are into fiddling with apps all day long. For the rest of us, we just need a manual ON/OFF button. Thank you!

I almost NEVER write reviews, but this app is so good at what I need it to do, I had to give it 5 stars. My little screen addict needs blocks of video game time (he earns them after doing chores, etc.). With this app I can do it in seconds, and it updates to PS5 instantly. Huge thanks for this one! PS Don’t tell the management, but this is so good … I would have paid for it!
