Feature Request: Channels iOS App Age Rating

Channels iOS Feature Requests
#1

Hello, would it be possible to change the age rating of the channels app in the apple app store?

Channels is currently 12+. Looking around the media space I see a lot are 12+, but fubo tv and disney plus are 4+.

The reason is that for me managing child and family friendly content without my kids getting sucked into strange YouTube ads and recommendations is my main use of channels.

I'd like to set their Ipads to 4+ on apps and install channels. There doesn't seem to be any reason to me why channels should be rated higher than Disney plus, as there's plenty of mature content available on that app.

Currently my only workaround is that I have to set their app store permissions to age 12+.

I no longer have children at home; they’re all grown and living on their own, But, I agree with this request especially since Channels itself doesn’t provide any content. Therefore, the parent(s) already have full control over what their children might be watching using the app. Unless of course your pre-12 YO has setup their own Channels server and managing content on it. :laughing:

Nope. This is as low as they’ll let us go.

We are neither Fubo nor Disney.

Why set a minimum app level on their iPads when you can require approval for installation of the apps?

I completely understand what you mean, and the absolute lack of controls that modern media apps have make Channels a great resources as you can just control what content exists in there for them, but they’re not going to let our rating go any lower. And certainly not 4+.
