◆ Checking the online status of friends
You can use your smart device to check whether your friends are online. You'll also be able to check what games your online friends are playing, and even send friend requests from within this app!
*You will need to use your Nintendo Switch console to accept friend requests and configure other friend settings.
◆ Using voice chat while gaming
When playing online in supported games, you can use voice chat with your friends via this app. How you use voice chat depends on the game and mode you're using - for example, when you split into teams in Splatoon 3, you can choose to use voice chat just with your team members so that friends on the other team won't know your next move.

Ratings and Reviews
I miss some features
I think that this app should have online shop like competitors have, messaging option - not only voice chat, maybe some statistics how much time you have spent and option to check/manage your profile?
Age restrictions
I bought Nintendo switch when I was twelve and I had friends that also had a Nintendo switch so naturally I installed this app to talk with them but it wouldn’t let me use it because I wasn’t 13. I understand that small children should not use apps like this but come on I was twelve and I didn’t have any friends that I didn’t already met in real life. Without counting that the app is really good but when you turn off your phone when you are talking then you hung up.
It works and that’s it
The app does its job, but it is not enough. You can’t have game audio and voice chat through your headphones. The app is really bare bones, besides splatnet and voice chat there is nothing else. We should be able to message our friends through it, we should be able to invite them to games, there should be game audio, there should be more services like splatnet or it simply should be integrated into the console. Nintendo, please listen to your fanbase and stop being so stubborn.
