Is The Weather Network 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 The Weather Network & MétéoMédia.
What The Weather Network's age rating means
The Weather Network 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
- The Weather Network 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).
- The Weather Network shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
How to keep your child safe with The Weather Network
Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions. Set an age limit for apps, require Ask to Buy for purchases, and restrict or remove The Weather Network if it is above your child's age.
Use Google Family Link to approve installs, set a Play Store content rating limit, require purchase approval, and block or uninstall The Weather Network on your child's device.
The Weather Network for kids: frequently asked questions
Is The Weather Network safe for kids?
The Weather Network carries a family-friendly official rating (PEGI 3) on the Google Play. That makes it broadly suitable, but even family-rated apps can include chat, ads, or in-app purchases, so check the factors below.
What age rating does The Weather Network have?
The Google Play rates The Weather Network as PEGI 3. 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 The Weather Network 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 The Weather Network 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 The Weather Network and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
