My Full Experience

PlayStation Family offers a simplified approach to family gaming, providing parents with the tools they need to monitor and manage their children's gaming habits. The app features an easy-to-use activity dashboard that gives you an at-a-glance overview of your kids' gaming activity. With simple parental controls, you can easily set daily playtime schedules and spending limits, ensuring that your children are engaging with content in a healthy and balanced way. Real-time information is delivered directly to your phone, allowing you to stay informed and make informed decisions about your children's screen time. You can customize playtime by defining when PlayStation fits into your family's routine, whether it's time for homework, mealtime, or bedtime. The app allows you to decide which games your children can access by setting individual age levels, ensuring they experience only age-appropriate content. Stay engaged with your kids' gaming activity through the activity dashboard, which shows their online status, the game they're currently playing, and their playtime hours from the past week. Approve or decline extra playtime requests directly from your phone, giving you the final say anytime, anywhere. Set guardrails for your kids to access online features like voice chat and user-generated content, or make exceptions for specific games. Manage spending limits for your kids, view your wallet balance, and top it up so they can buy and download content from the PlayStation Store. PlayStation Family makes family gaming easier and more manageable.

At launch of the app, it always crashed after signing in. The app has now been updated to fix whatever bugs it had. Now it opens flawlessly, and I love that I am now able to access my PlayStation family from this app rather than always having to access the website. UI design looks sharp and is very user friendly, great job PlayStation!

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.

This app is awesome. We can have our children do chores and earn money then we can deposit it into their account without sharing our cards with them to just use. I also love how I can put that they didn't get any time by default to pay and once they earn time they were put it on and they are able to play for that amount of time before they are logged off.

App works fine. Its essentially all of the family settings that were in the system menu are now in this app. makes it a lot smoother to approve requests to play certain games. parental controls are always strangely difficult, but this app is ok

The app works fine on my S24 ultra and has several neat features. I did not experience the crashes that others state. I really enjoy seeing the time played each day. This will prove useful as my kids get older. Another of the features I consider useful is the ability to add funds to a family account. I will potentially be using this to gift money to my friends by adding them as a family member since we have no way to gift games on the PSN.
