That's another example where it would work well for you. I think it's a great feature to have for those of us who need it. Plus if they throw in how it is currently (just on/off switches) then it wouldn't require much work to add that.
Got a tip for us?

I've wanted per app restrictions (just use my normal passcode) for a while as I too, like many people I'm sure, have a household which shares devices.
I've handled this so far by 'trust' and giving everyone folders with their names on for all the apps they like to use. There's a single page of apps that they all might use.
Profiles are not the way to do this, simply allowing me to passcode certain apps I never want people to have access to keeps my little workaround going perfectly fine.
Let's not forget that restrictions are in place, but they only really work for getting the content in the first place... stopping a 10 year old having access to Safari to go find porn is important, but I'd still like to find it myself occasionally
I see this as something to allow people more flexibility. I actually see it as a selling point for those people who have a household that can't afford ~£300 per person on devices. Maybe 'household' is a new feature set that IS powerful and useful for people and not for everyone who goes "you buy apple, you have money, go get more apple" (which is a redundant argument).

I can see how pass coding multiple apps can get confusing (not for myself) but for the common (Laymans). Just a restriction method now would work fine.
Wow that is awesome. I'd be all on board with that! Plus TouchID implementation = win win
