> Apple has created individual sections of the App Store for kids, which makes
> finding age appropriate apps for children much easier than it was before.
> With a few adjustments, you can basically create a kids-only App Store,
> perfectly suited for children aged 11 and under, but also conveniently broken
> into different age groups if you’re looking to narrow down to more age
> appropriate choices. This is different from the general age restrictions that
> can be set for the App Store, and aims to provide an easy way to browse
> through the huge amount of kids apps available to iOS.
>
> The two tricks we’ll focus on below usually feature the highest quality apps
> chosen by Apple in the Features section, and also show you waht’s most
> popular as determined by other user downloads and purchases.
>
> Access the Kids Apps Sections of the App Store
>
> This applies to the App Store in iOS on any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
>
> Open App Store and go to the default “Featured” page
> Tap on “Categories” in the upper left corner
> Choose “Kids” and select one of the following age range:
> All Kids (shows all apps aimed at kids in all age ranges)
> Kids 5 & Under
> Kids 6-8
> Kids 9-11
> Enjoy the presorted all kid-friendly apps selection
>
>
> The Featured Kids apps section is usually great, having apps that have been
> selected and filtered by Apple’s App Store moderators to show high quality
> engaging apps for the appropriate age ranges.
>
>
>
> It can also be helpful to check out the top apps for kids though, and that’s
> what we’ll cover next.
>
> View the Top Free & Paid Apps for Kids by Age Range
>
> Open the App Store and tap on “Top Charts” at the bottom
> Tap “Categories” in the corner
> Choose “Kids” and select the age range you want to narrow down the top charts
> for
>
>
> The Paid and Free sections are worthwhile and have lots of great apps which
> can be great for kids of all ages. Meanwhile, the “Top Grossing” section
> sometimes has a few good ones, but overall is pretty useless for sorting apps
> of any kind, it’s usually just a list of apps with tons of required in-app
> purchases. Frankly, I’m not quite sure why Apple bothers to show ‘Top
> Grossing’ anywhere in the App Store other than to demonstrate to developers
> what (annoying) app model works to create a cash cow… but I digress.
>
> You’ll notice that entering into the “Kids” section of the App Store is
> pretty easy to leave, entering into the broader range of apps for all age
> ranges. If you’d like to restrict the App Store for a certain age range, use
> the Restrictions settings as Parental Controls to lock down what apps and
> media can be used on the device, where you are able to set specifics about
> what type of material can be downloaded onto the iOS device.
>
> Quick side note: parents and adults should remember to disable in-app
> purchases (IAP) in iOS Settings before giving any iPhone/iPad/iPod to any
> child, even if you only plan on downloading ‘free’ apps for the kid(s). You
> can always go through and change it if necessary, but disabling it ahead of
> time can prevent huge charges from being accidentally racked up by the little
> ones. Even if the kid has an iTunes Allowance configured for use, it is still
> recommended to turn off IAP because some developers are borderline predatory
> in how they lure and disguise the purchases. Our advice; don’t take the
> chance until you know for sure, just disable the purchases and avoid any
> headaches.
>
> Heads up to CultOfMac for the reminder about this, don’t forget you can use
> the same sorting on the desktop with iTunes and the Mac App Store too!
