About INDEKS SafeRating
Every day, millions of parents trust app store ratings. But thousands of apps are deliberately hiding inappropriate content behind misleading age ratings.
Why SafeRating Exists
The disturbing truth
Apps rated suitable for young children are serving up violent imagery, sexual content, disturbing themes, and material that would give most adults nightmares, let alone a 6-year-old. This isn't a glitch. It's a systematic problem that puts your children at risk.
Our Mission
INDEKS SafeRating is a free service from INDEKS.AI dedicated to helping parents identify and block apps with deceptive age ratings and inappropriate content. We believe every parent deserves accurate, honest information about the apps their children use.
The Problems We're Solving
Deceptive Age Ratings
Apps rated 4+ are serving violent imagery, sexual content, and disturbing themes. Developers exploit low ratings to reach more children.
AI Content Blind Spot
App stores can't review what AI generates. They see the interface, not the unlimited harmful content the AI engine can produce inside.
Exploitation for Profit
Unscrupulous developers hook children on inappropriate content, then monetize through forced ads and in-app purchases.
Reactive Enforcement
App stores only investigate after complaints. By then, thousands of children have been exposed—and banned apps quickly return under new names.
Real Examples That Should Alarm You
- Drawing apps rated 4+ that generate disturbing horror imagery and violent scenes when children use AI features
- "Educational" games rated for young children that expose them to mature themes through AI chat functions
- Character creation apps that produce inappropriate or sexualised content despite being marketed to primary school children
- Story apps with ratings suggesting they're safe for pre-teens, but which generate adult content on demand
