Sony lanceert mobiele PlayStation Family-app voor ouderlijk toezicht

Sony Interactive Entertainment heeft aangekondigd dat ze een nieuwe applicatie hebben gelanceerd voor iOS en Android. Het betreft hier de ‘PlayStation Family’-app, die gericht is op ouderlijk toezicht.

Via de app kunnen ouders allerlei instellingen toepassen met betrekking tot het gebruik van de PlayStation console door kinderen. Denk dan aan speeltijd, activiteit rapportage, leeftijdsrestricties en meer.

Een paar key features zijn:

• Guided Onboarding – Enjoy a thoughtfully guided experience setting up a child account easily with PlayStation Family app.
• Real-Time Notifications – Get notified what game a child is playing in real time. Approve or decline a child’s requests for extra playtime, restricted games, and communicate from a mobile device – you have the final say.
• Activity Reports – Review daily and weekly activity reports at a glance. Parents can see up-to-date information about a child’s playtime and activity.
• Manage Playtime – Set playtime limits for each day of the week. Children can enjoy more flexibility by requesting additional playtime from the console, while parents can approve or decline their requests from a phone or tablet.
• Manage Spending – Manage spending activity by adding funds, viewing balances, and setting a monthly spending limit for a child to buy content from the PlayStation Store.
• Content Filters – Choose and configure age appropriate content with a tap of a button. We’ve included presets that automatically apply recommended settings for different age groups, and every setting can also be customized individually to best suit each child.
• Social Interactions-  Customize privacy settings and how your children connect and play. Manage access to social features.

De applicatie is vanzelfsprekend gratis te downloaden en gebruiken.
