# Connected TV App Manual Review under COPPA Rule: ‘Guava Juice’

 Written by [Emma Burdis](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/author/emma-burdis)

 Feb 1, 2023 12:00:00 PM

Welcome to [Pixalate’s CTV & Mobile App Manual Reviews According to COPPA](https://www.pixalate.com/blog/coppa-manual-review-series-faq), a series containing the detailed factors the [Trust & Safety Advisory Board](https://www.pixalate.com/trust-and-safety-advisory-board) educators used to assess an app’s child-directedness.

The educators manually review thousands of mobile apps available in the Google Play & Apple App Stores as well as connected TV (CTV) apps from the Roku Channel Store and Amazon Fire TV App Store using the COPPA Rule factors shown below & make those results available to the public at [ratings.pixalate.com](https://ratings.pixalate.com/).

This post takes a look at a CTV app from both the Amazon Fire TV Store and the Roku Channel Store. Our reviewer discusses how the subjective factors set forth in the COPPA Rule apply to the app and factor into the reviewer's determination as to whether the app is child-directed or general audience (i.e., it is not targeting children).

## **Manually reviewed in this post**

### The 10 COPPA Rule factors

The teacher will indicate the factors they relied upon in their assessment using the 10 factors shown below that reflect the 10 child-directed factors in the [COPPA Rule](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa).

### COPPA factors used to determine audience

 

![visual-content](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Media/Blog%20photos/visual-content.png?width=154&height=39&name=visual-content.png).

The avatar for this channel is bright and friendly, with a cartoonish face on a vivid green background. The video preview pictures which accompany the listing are all appealing to young children, with bright action shots, a mixture of real photos and cartoon characters with high contrast, colorful effects.

The channel has over 1800 videos, the vast majority of which are aimed at children, with subjects ranging from Pokemon bath bombs to “10 things you should not do on the school bus”. In my view, despite being displayed as such, several of these videos are not suitable content for children. For example, “Creepy TikToks You Should NOT Watch At Night!” and “Can I Escape the Carnival of Terror?” However, this genre of horror is a current trend in children’s gaming (e.g. Poppy’s Playtime, Five Nights at Freddie’s) and these videos are in keeping with that. The videos cover a range of subjects including gaming walkthroughs and challenges featuring other YouTube celebrities.

Each video preview has special effects and vibrant animated overlays which add to their visual appeal.

With just under 17 million YouTube subscribers, Guava Juice (real name Roi) could certainly be counted as a celebrity figure. Many comments under the YouTube videos are from users stating they love his videos and watched them as a child.

 Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
