Age rating is set by Google Play, not by Unstar. This page explains it and adds what parents report in reviews. Not affiliated with Smartbox Group LTD.
What Smartbox's age rating means
The Google Play gives Smartbox an official PEGI 18 rating, so the store considers it unsuitable for children. That usually reflects mature themes, chat with strangers, suggestive content, or gambling-style mechanics. For a child or younger teen, treat this as a clear caution.

Smartbox for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Smartbox safe for kids?
Smartbox carries an official age rating of PEGI 18 on the Google Play, 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 Smartbox have?
The Google Play rates Smartbox as PEGI 18. 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 Smartbox 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 Smartbox 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 Smartbox and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
