What the star badge means
The way content gets a star badge varies between different types of content. Read the sections below to learn more.
Apps & GamesThe star badge tells you what age group the developer designed for their app or game for.
On the badge, you may see:
- Family-friendly: Mixed audience of kids and adults
- Ages: Specific age ranges between 0 and 12 years old
We recommend parental guidance on any apps not designed solely for children.
Note: Developers might make changes to their app or game, so check for the star badge and review the information above before installing an app update.
Google Play assigns a star badge based on things like the movie or TV show's rating, the genre, and maturity of the content.
On the badge, you may see:
- Ages: Specific age ranges between 0 and 12 years old
- All ages: Appropriate for all kids under 13 years old
Google Play assigns a star badge based on publisher-provided information like age data, reading level, and genre.
On the badge, you'll see the age range the book is appropriate for.
Check an app's privacy policy
All apps and games that have a star badge have to include a link to their privacy policy at the bottom of the app details page.
We recommend that you review the privacy policy before downloading the app to learn how the app collects and uses personal information.
