What the “Teacher Approved” badge means

Google consulted with academic experts to develop a framework for rating apps, and then worked with teachers and specialists across the US to rate them based on our framework.
Teacher Approved apps are:
  • Age appropriate
  • Thoughtfully designed
  • Fun or inspiring
Teachers and specialists only rate apps for the age groups that they teach and they have all been vetted, trained, and evaluated before they become part of the program. Currently, the team is not hiring teachers or specialists outside of the program.
Tip: Apps are updated regularly and teachers and specialists review apps on an ongoing basis. This means that apps that are Teacher Approved will change over time.

Age ranges for Movies & TV and Books

Movies & TV

Google Play assigns an age rating based on the movie or TV show's content rating.

On a movie or TV show, you may see: 

  • Ages: Specific age ranges based on the content rating, between 0 and 12 years old.
  • All ages: The content rating will show that the movie or tv show is suitable for all ages.

Books

Google Play assigns an age range based on publisher-provided information like reading level.

Age-restricted apps
Declared minors will be restricted from searching for, accessing, and making purchases in apps targeting users who are 18 and older or if the app developer has chosen to block their app or game from users who are under 18.

All apps and games in the Kids section have to include a link to their privacy policy at the bottom of the app details page.

We recommend that you review the privacy policy before downloading the app to learn how the app collects and uses personal information.

Report inappropriate content

We do our best to make sure family-friendly content meets Google Play’s heightened policy requirements.

If you find content that may be inappropriate for kids and families, let us know.
