Is UPS 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 UPS.
What UPS's age rating means
UPS 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
- UPS shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.

UPS for kids: frequently asked questions
Is UPS safe for kids?
UPS 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 UPS have?
The Google Play rates UPS 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 UPS 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 UPS 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 UPS and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
