Is your kid's phone safe?
Pick your child's age and tap the apps they use. You'll get an instant, plain-English snapshot of what to watch for — and a short plan you can act on tonight. Built from our independent reviews. No login, no judgment.
A 30-second read on your child’s apps
The check runs entirely in your browser. You pick your child’s age band and tap the apps they use; it cross-references each against our independent reviews and returns a risk-sorted snapshot plus a short plan. No login, no data leaves your device, and no AI guesswork — it’s the same structured assessment behind every app profile on the site, which is why the same app can read as fine for a teen and a poor fit for a younger child.
What we weigh for each app
- Can strangers reach your child — whether adults or unknown users can message, friend, or contact a minor by default.
- Location sharing — whether the app can broadcast or expose your child’s real-world location.
- Disappearing messages — content that auto-deletes, which makes harmful contact harder for a parent to see.
- Age fit — the app’s minimum age and maturity vs. the age band you pick.
- Parental visibility & controls — what supervision the platform actually gives you — and where it falls short.
- Overall risk level — our independent Low / Elevated / High rating, the same one on every app profile.
Common questions
Is the safety check really free?
Yes — no login, no email, no payment. Pick an age band and the apps your child uses and you get the result immediately.
Does it collect or store my child’s data?
No. The check runs entirely in your browser. Your selections never leave your device and nothing is saved — there is no account and no tracking of who you checked.
How accurate is it — is this AI guessing?
It is not AI. The result is a deterministic assessment built from our own independent reviews of ~80 apps, using the same structured risk factors (stranger contact, location, disappearing messages, age fit, parental controls) behind every app profile on the site.
What age ranges does it cover?
Four bands — under 10, 10–12, 13–15, and 16+ — because the same app can be fine for a teen and a poor fit for a younger child. The concerns and the recommended action change with the age you choose.
What do I actually get?
A risk-sorted snapshot of the apps you selected, the specific concerns that matter at your child’s age, and a short, plain-English plan you can act on tonight — plus links to the full review and setup guide for each app.
