Having spent my summer jockeying my children to different summer activities and timing their use on the ipad. I have come to two conclusions: Summer activities are awesome and my girls' appetite for downloading games is voracious. I think giving them carte blanche to pick from the myriad of free games available to them may be an error. I don't get it and really I don't care as long as they are free and appropriate for their age. Problem is, every time they want to download something, I have to stop what I am doing, read the reviews and make sure the content isn't improper (pardon the pun) and enter my apple id numerous times a day. Good news? I don't have to do all this. There are some general settings help that I came across and thought I would share. Ipad parental controls and Ipad parental ratings.
But here is something that is helpful for the child-ful or child-free especially if you play games that allow in-app purchases. There has been a rise in-app games because the developers add in an easy way to make purchases inside the game itself. In fact this article indicates that in app transactions are responsible for 72% of app revenue.
As a recovering candy crush addict, I have stayed away from games on the ipad, but for those of you that are still able to handle a game or two I recommend turning this off in your settings.
Especially if you are bordering on not being able to help yourself or if you have small children using your device.
