Guidance for your family, not rules for it

Guidance, not a guarantee

Reports draw on detailed information about each title, and they can still make mistakes. You know your child best, and the final decision is always yours.

Your values, your call

We describe what’s in a title plainly and neutrally. We don’t tell you what to allow. We give you the context to decide.

We never sell your data

Your searches and your family’s details stay private. You can delete your account and its data at any time.

Questions parents ask

Does it cover TV shows as well as movies?

Yes, both films and TV series. Content can change from season to season, so it helps to mention the season or episode you’re asking about.

Does it check for flashing lights?

Reports cover overstimulation, including flashing lights and rapid scenes, when information about the title supports it. If your child is sensitive to flashing lights, please also check the official content advice for the title.

Is the age rating the official one?

An official rating is only shown when it can be verified for that exact title. Our suggested age is shown separately, so you can see both.
