What BestNovel's age rating means
BestNovel is rated مناسب لأعمار 12 عامًا وما فوق on the Google Play, meaning it targets older teenagers, not young children. With parental controls and an honest conversation, many teens use apps like this fine, but the rating exists for a reason.
Things for parents to check
- BestNovel 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).
- BestNovel shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
