A mobile software content rating system is a rating system which is tailored to users of mobile software.

Existing systems

Apple App Store

Main article: App Store (iOS)

Apple's rating system for the App Store follows the following rubric:

  • 4+
  • 9+
  • 12+
  • 17+

Apps rated 17+ are prohibited from purchase by younger users.

Google Play

Main article: Google Play

Up until March 17, 2015 Google Play used the following rubric:[1][2]

  • Everyone
  • Low maturity
  • Medium maturity
  • High maturity

Google now uses the International Age Rating Coalition.

CTIA Mobile Application Rating System

The CTIA - The Wireless Association, an industry trade group, collaborated with the ESRB to largely apply ESRB's rating system to mobile devices.[3] It was launched in 2011, with Apple and Google being notable abstentions from subscribing companies.[4]

Amazon Store

On the Amazon Appstore, "All Ages" is for all ages. "Guidance Suggested" is for recommendation that parents should give guidance to pre-teens/children. "Mature" is recommended to be suitable for mature audiences. Adult is "advertisements, graphic violence, nudity or other content only suitable for adult audiences".[5]

Blackberry World

The Blackberry appstore as the following ratings:[6]

  • General (G) - All ages
  • Teen (T) - May not be suitable for children under the age of 13
  • Mature (M) - May not be suitable for children under the age of 17
  • Adult (A) - Content that is generally recognized as appropriate only for, or that is legally restricted to, persons at least the age of majority in their region.
