What Tumblr: Social Media & Art's age rating means

Things for parents to check
- As a Social app, Tumblr: Social Media & Art can put your child in contact with strangers or user-generated content that is not moderated in real time. This is the biggest supervision concern for younger users.
- Tumblr: Social Media & Art 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).
