Is Fruit Ninja® 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 Halfbrick Studios.
What Fruit Ninja®'s age rating means
Fruit Ninja® holds a family-friendly Everyone 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
- Fruit Ninja® 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).
- Fruit Ninja® shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
What parents and users report about Fruit Ninja®
Users primarily complain about excessive ads, the game requiring an internet connection to play, and locked content behind paywalls or loot boxes. Many express frustration that the once-enjoyable offline game is now unplayable without Wi-Fi and dominated by intrusive advertisements.

Fruit Ninja® for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Fruit Ninja® safe for kids?
Fruit Ninja® carries a family-friendly official rating (Everyone) 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 Fruit Ninja® have?
The Google Play rates Fruit Ninja® as Everyone. 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 Fruit Ninja® 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 Fruit Ninja® 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 Fruit Ninja® and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
