Is Novelpack 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 HK IReader Technology Limited.
What Novelpack's age rating means
The Google Play gives Novelpack an official Mature 17+ rating, so the store considers it unsuitable for children. That usually reflects mature themes, chat with strangers, suggestive content, or gambling-style mechanics. For a child or younger teen, treat this as a clear caution.
Things for parents to check
- Novelpack 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).
- Novelpack shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.

Many complain about the inability to cancel subscriptions, with no clear option in the app or through standard platforms like Google Play.

Novelpack for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Novelpack safe for kids?
Novelpack carries an official age rating of Mature 17+ on the Google Play, which means it is not designed for children. It is a real, listed app, but the store itself flags it for a mature audience. If a younger child wants it, the rating alone is a strong reason to say no or to supervise closely.
What age rating does Novelpack have?
The Google Play rates Novelpack as Mature 17+. This is the store's own content rating, set from the app's features and content, not our opinion. Use it as the starting point for whether it fits your child's age.
Can my child use Novelpack safely?
If you decide to allow it, use device parental controls: Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions on iPhone, or Family Link and Play Store parental controls on Android. Turn on purchase approval, set age-appropriate content limits, and keep the account under your family group so you can see activity.
How do I block or remove Novelpack from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it. On Android, open Family Link, select your child, find Novelpack and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
