What PlaySimple Cryptogram's age rating means
PlaySimple Cryptogram holds a family-friendly PEGI 3 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
- PlaySimple Cryptogram 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).
- PlaySimple Cryptogram shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
