A map of Android apps, with a short key for reading each one before it reaches a phone that is not only yours.
A map is only useful once you know what its symbols stand for. On AgeSafe Map, every app page follows the same key, so the facts you would want before choosing an app for another person turn up in the same place each time.
The maker. The rating. The number of installs. The page itself shows those three. What an app costs and what it asks permission to do belong to its store listing, which is one link away. All of it is information to read, not a ruling on whether an app suits any particular age.
These pages are static files, put together beforehand. The key is on the page the moment it opens, whatever your connection.
A wrong fact, or a missing one? The contact form takes both.
Age and content ratings come from the stores, and parental controls are set up in the store or on the device itself. This site issues neither. Where they matter to you, look at the store listing and at the phone.
On AgeSafe Map, each Android app gets a description, screenshots and a few public facts, plus a link on to Google Play or a third-party download provider.
It does not test or scan apps, and it does not rate them by age. What it offers is a steady layout for the facts that are public, so checking goes faster and the decision stays with you.
A legend does not choose for you. It makes sure you can read what you are choosing between.
