Apps & Games content ratings on Google Play
Content ratings for apps and games help you understand an app's maturity.
Ratings are the responsibility of the app developers and the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC). In South Korea, ratings have been approved by the Game Rating Administration Committee (GRAC).
How Google Play uses ratings
We use content ratings to:
- Inform you of potentially objectionable content within an app.
- Block or filter your content in certain territories or to specific users where required.
What content ratings tell you about an app or game
Age-based ratings & description
Content ratings are used to describe the minimum maturity level of content in apps. However, content ratings don't tell you whether an app is designed for users of a specific age.
Ratings are typically based on a number of factors, including sexual content, violence, drugs, gambling, and profane language.
Tap Read more on an app's details page to see a description of why the app got its rating.
Interactive features
In the "Read more" section on the app's details page, you can learn more about the app's interactive features. This includes things like whether an app shares a user's location, or if it allows users to interact with each other. An app's interactive features are separate from its content rating.
Unrated apps
Not all apps in the Google Play store have a rating. Unrated apps are treated like high-maturity apps for the purpose of parental controls until they get a rating.
If you set up parental controls to restrict apps and games to a certain rating, you won't see any Unrated apps in the Play Store app.
