why??????? sucks and unsafe infrastructures to keep perverts out
by Kevi, 2024-11-13

I particularly like the fact they can have a walled version of the Play Store - especially since I can block free games with ads even showing up. But please please please add the service to more devices. I don't know why it's not available for all??

Can't install on any of my kids devices because they are set up through my account and no way will I set up personal accounts for minors
