Able to turn off Snowstorm mode on Ace LTE

It would be helpful to have a setting that enables/disables snowstorm for eejies. I find that it is more annoying than useful. Waiting a day for it to come back is very silly.

I agree, we bought an ace for our daughter this Christmas and are very disappointed that snowstorm wasn’t something we could control. If possible, I’d like if the parent could control how long they are able to play before a snowstorm as well as how long the snowstorm lasts. But at the very least I want the ability to turn off the snowstorm so that she has something she can do on the watch during times where moving around isn’t an option.

I 100% agree with @KassidyLopez . Sometimes your on a road trip or at a restaurant. This device should have the option to "pause" snowstorm mode from parent portal. This is offered by apple, Netflix, Kindle, etc. and is a simple feature that should be applied here as well.

To branch off from this, I think parental controls need to be increased. As the parents, we should have the ability to turn on/off. I love that the blizzard funtion is there, but I'm finding that it doesn't kick in until my children have spent FAR more time than I'd like on it and have used up a TON of their battery life doing it. I'd like to be able to adjust the sensitivity/time spent before the blizzard kicks in, and to the other parents points, to allow more time under certain circumstances. There should certainly be more information surrounding the blizzard, when it comes, how long it's for, etc.
