Is WSJ Print Edition safe for kids?
WSJ Print Edition carries an official age rating of 17+ on the App Store, 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 WSJ Print Edition have?
The App Store rates WSJ Print Edition as 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 WSJ Print Edition 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 WSJ Print Edition from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it.
