Is Plants vs. Zombies™ Safe for Kids?
Age rating is set by Google Play, not by Unstar. This page explains it and adds what parents report in reviews. Not affiliated with ELECTRONIC ARTS.
What Plants vs. Zombies™'s age rating means
Plants vs. Zombies™ holds a family-friendly Para mayores de 10 años rating on the Google Play. It is broadly appropriate, but a low age rating does not remove every risk: check whether it has chat, ads, or in-app purchases below.
Things for parents to check
- Plants vs. Zombies™ offers in-app purchases. Without a purchase password or spending limit, a child can run up charges. Set up Ask to Buy (iOS) or a Play purchase PIN (Android).
- Plants vs. Zombies™ shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
