Bottom Line

This is a news app/social network where users can post their own stories and photos publically to be rated and commented on by other users. Much of the content is highly sexualized, including photos of users barely dressed, which they post hoping to be featured in a story. This app will connect your child with strangers. It will also expose your child to cartoon violence, realistic violence, alcohol, tobacco or drugs use or references, and profanity or crude humor., sexual and nudity themes, and mature or suggestive themes It also contains an unrestricted web browser that allows your child to browse anything on the Internet, even if parental controls are enabled. No child under 18 should have this app on their device.

Talking to Your Children

This app is inappropriate for children to have on their device for several reason. Most importantly, it allows them to create a public profile and connects them with adults.

Talk to your child about how the functions of this app are too dangerous to use. Visit our Parent's Guides section for more information on how to talk to your child about these risks.
