Whether you’re a smartphone-owning parent who downloads apps for your kids or your kids are finding apps for themselves, you’ll want to check the age-appropriateness of the apps they use and set ground rules about browsing and paying for them.

App FActs

ǜ Mobile apps (short for “applications”) are programs that can be downloaded to any internet-enabled smartphone.

ǜ Apps fall into nearly every category, including games, education, social networking and cooking, and they’re available for every age from toddlers to teens and beyond.

ǜ App prices range from free to more than $10. To download an app, you need to create an account and a password. All of these transactions require a credit card, and even “free” apps aren’t always as advertised.

ǜ Smartphone usage is 12% higher in households with children, according to a 2009 Nielsen study.

ǜ Facebook leads the app popularity contest, followed by games, found a 2009 Nielsen study.

ǜ 59% of all iPhone-owning moms let their kids use their phones, and 41% download games specifically for their kids, according to a 2009 study by ad network Greystripe.

Navigating Apps (cont.)App tips For All

ǜ Establish rules around downloading. Make the rules and establish consequences before kids go app shopping.

ǜ Limit screen time. Even if the games your kid plays on your smartphone are educational, count their smartphone time in their total screen allowance for the day.

ǜ Play along. Many apps are multiplayer, so carve out time to play with your child.

ǜ Don’t go by the developer’s age rating. The age rating listed in the app description is from the developer and can be way off.

ǜ Look for age-appropriate apps with quality content. Find apps that are truly worth your kid’s time and your money.

ǜ Establish a spending limit. Remind kids that apps add up.

ǜ Watch out for ad bombardment. Many “free” apps make their revenue by selling ads. Show your kid how to tell what ads look like.

App tips For ElEmEntAry-AgE Kids

ǜ Shop for apps alone or with your kid. Some of the content in app stores aren’t for kids. Kids can very easily run across screenshots, user comments, and apps that aren’t age-appropriate.

ǜ Look for educational apps. Use Common Sense Media’s app ratings.

ǜ Protect your password, and use content filters. A password is required to download an app. Many app retailers offer content filters that restrict the kind of content you can download.

ǜ Double check the app name. Many apps have similar names.

ǜ Check an app’s multiplayer options. Even apps for little kids offer the ability to play against strangers. But you can usually disable this feature.
