This is okay. I really wish there was a way to add game time from the app while people are currently playing on the Xbox. Right now the only way to do it is to add it directly on the Xbox if my kids are already playing. otherwise it does not recognize the added time. The app is slow and buggy. I will sometimes add game time for my kids and when they try to play it says they don't have any time.

I have found a pervasive flaw in the user profiles. It does not shut the Xbox off when the time for profile has been exhausted. Also, some of the family settings are very unclearly worded: asking to buy things is actually the inverse of what the wording implies. Finally, changing the game pass tier was very difficult and not intuitive at all. Feels like Microsoft is trying to make this as complicated as possible so parents give up and allow kids unfettered access.

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.
