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 game which is available from the Apple App 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** - [ Infant Zoo: Games for Baby](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/677233768/GLOBAL/ios/GLOBAL) (Apple) ### 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). *![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/30aNBVdKJcGRgal4gjbUy-oFUo-yJbGN9Voi59WjNO3ryRkv1RlTw3wMt4x8saP9c89PJbXjJfEH0E7Y9WmkmWc2vrJchbnFykl7ImkrRDBd4LXx5jEnpb27LcB76ZDCjOMJNmNSf03cMqfuqWF56XOwN4Mkc_yKXukaXRg7TNE3gwj_IZQIj5yp1gcf9w)* ### **Reviewed by: Tabitha Walker** ## **![Tabitha Walker](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tabitha%20Walker.png?width=781&height=439&name=Tabitha%20Walker.png)** ## **Manual Review: Infant Zoo: Games for Baby** ### Likely audience after manual review ### ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/FAy6U-Oz6KwOVQq2g6ub_lwYOsLXltIU1-nQFVaDACob1BoTkvvQTTPRs-EBHG2vTSBtduHWY_bhR-Ld0v_tqQ0UhsRKVhY7H8NwrCf_gsf-_ZMpiA9Q43OWvL1qut-kwxDp7WjOPVs7R3VgTlPW_O0)![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/QwfLBhZTw5VlLAdH5DRk2KWzHTpEO9hfyrF1t1CyercUsMD_QQUTC1txKExGv2xjqX4wberlFInpuQKn5wLCbdhllJYTUSkWwnipMhzDfNQMv8OC75GQTH-eRwRaGda6jOfA6kfNO1EYZq_771xjyg) - **Apple Developer: **[treebetty LLC](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/ios/all/GLOBAL?developerName=treebetty%20LLC) - ******Apple Bundle ID: 677233768****** - [Privacy Policy](https://infantzoo.com/privacy-policy/) - ****Tabitha’s Take:**** *A simple app designed to stimulate infants through interactions with eggs that transform to a variety of different animals.* ### COPPA factors used to determine audience ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/D2ajp8k3G10-K0UnFzBoyj1zuZCDE_5RuzRRELtp4L6kpN8sQ_nUDNIltracbZyr03qt45H5m4N-p9IB7-beyX0v04i9t6zykofZ1AHlS_8meibLsYAQHJp3HjD_JO9F5OdqwYqq9bUAFN6yVhbBMrU) Infant Zoo is a collection of interactive, virtual eggs for babies and toddlers to interact with. The app is designed to draw the attention of, soothe, and stimulate infants. Eggs are ‘hatched’ into a variety of different animals (including animals that do not hatch from eggs). The app can be played in two modes to appeal to different abilities and growth stages. The ‘play’ mode is interactive, tapping from the user causes the egg to hatch and reveal the animal inside. The ‘watch’ mode is for younger infants where the egg automatically hatches without them needing to interact with the screen. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/f5ZgcLDh942aiksUK6pdUfyrQvHUn4BuYoq-cS7sfDCBLz19gLKjhyrZv6n8KMGCdh8LODKiR1HDNKl37iP35w-9Yf6iMQVGXdxVIAnewMBdWVsAqFm04lmPB_zNdp9Lza4S7rXjvMKf1cojtSkXvow) and ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/6G7Iu3O9uMqg0ZcWb531Bbg0jNG3WWMK3CUL9tx-fh7gKUIztEHGIrqcz-78t07plNXEADZ-qIf7nKb7edw_hV10Hofmg90Vb-DtpOjwvy6ooggi4Qi3_Cjico70U6wsbSFm-_1Qp4NKiG6ILRW0qvw) The contrasting colors help to attract the baby’s attention and provide stimulation. The ‘bubbles’ that float in the background further help stimulate and soothe a baby. The animations are very simple, with the animals doing simple movements, like bouncing. The ‘hatching’ of the egg is not an animation but rather animal features appearing on the egg, instantly transforming it into the body or face of the animal depicted. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/SMcE6-ep-5GGVfzoVv4jOQgnNM8vOM1ale65zZECZsBedsWt6VxOhrEyzHQIdAuUn3NCukw3mq0YgV106wRCZ1wAwuhob6SUuwYtpGGn2g669i2WnHkQoKkPGw9qSfWKeatPUvAZECm_pEKi_cMn4zA) There is music on the home screen that can be toggled on and off. However, the music does not continue once the game is started to allow focus on the sound effects rather than the music. Sound effects such as knocking from inside the egg and animal sounds after the egg has transformed, help stimulate the infant and encourage interaction when in ‘play’ mode. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/G_9tWwBNyKglNcpnUDKogzI8x0OTGSC7qOsf2Ja6op1BbQiDiIHGeZcaCyrxlyeMSog4jdt-SPx8wPpdG5qT11eOoIO1JqHXRjSQ1mky2U7W5jbbUEAJQcXYz-rkqgatmaZ1lLyeWxh1r0xYARfs8EU) There are no formal incentives within the game, reflecting the younger audience that the app is targeting. The ability to transform the eggs into animals is incentivizing for infants who can interact with the app. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Ru1zjPSw7DDA9g7WVeB95a5bBWIE6QnnRcTZuJAnmCx39d3E6eKceJluozlJgkUOgkkZSO-22UwrQDs-Oj0bfXFDOql8A2Sj15FmPpfbNUTH65dLbnAVp3ZW2qz7fhrNvXQ3hw8dKpZUTZqatLWP7aI) There is no advertising within the app. The free version has a limited number of times that it can be played and then the user will need to purchase a subscription. Subscriptions can be purchased specifically for this app or a bundle subscription that gives access to this and other apps by the developer. ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/iFeDGkgerWZGet5TRGaxX-aX3pZS82SlQ8517dw4xiG0zlG8z0LxQW7dGiA9mS-uHJdMcseFz59C7u0knePx8aGZ5S8YqN9pbsrKv2ZhwqC26ygu5MlVTe9Bcvrh1pWoMrzMJXTRZBxFPY2ZfYyEeTc) and ![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/zb1UXEP-_qA7I2xweTaYB4OgWKA0gd8Q2Zu4gPY7VQgKF9LMbIpOs0GkAW59mpCYixY823J1UvK-K3VCgqdPsUYvOX2Qsxh0cu1Y5cFuv2H35ZAt2qhiZNlUvs29hTtQEAvf9HoVEKManR-uIlGBH0k) Infant Zoo is only available for iOS devices and is rated 4+ in the Apple App Store. The app description specifically states, “Infant Zoo is designed specifically for newborns and young babies.” This expected audience is also reflected in the app reviews, with most reviews being from parents expressing that they are using the app with their babies. **Privacy** According to the [privacy policy](https://infantzoo.com/privacy-policy/), which was last updated on October 3, 2023, the app does not collect any information that tracks individual users. They acknowledge that children are the primary audience of their app and that there is no information required to use the app. They indicate that they only collect “anonymous aggregate data about visitors” to “know how people are using the app so we can add features and continue to make it better.” Find Pixalate's full catalogue of reviews in our [CTV and Mobile App Review Page](https://www.pixalate.com/app-reviews) Screenshots of Infant Zoo: Games for Baby ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2024-10-46-29-3419-AM.png?width=960&height=992&name=image-png-May-16-2024-10-46-29-3419-AM.png) ### ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2024-10-47-12-6504-AM.png?width=1460&height=996&name=image-png-May-16-2024-10-47-12-6504-AM.png) ### ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2024-10-47-32-6300-AM.png?width=960&height=990&name=image-png-May-16-2024-10-47-32-6300-AM.png) ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2024-10-47-49-9091-AM.png?width=1996&height=684&name=image-png-May-16-2024-10-47-49-9091-AM.png) ### About Pixalate’s Trust & Safety Advisory Board Pixalate’s Trust and Safety Advisory Board was created to bring in individuals with experience using child-directed apps in the classroom to review and assess which apps are child-directed. This manual review process serves to quality check Pixalate’s automated review process. [See our full methodology](https://www.pixalate.com/coppa-compliance-tools-methodology) for more information.

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.” ** ** *By clicking Download and entering your email address, you are agreeing to our [Terms of Use](https://www.pixalate.com/terms) and have read and acknowledge our [Privacy Policy](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/2024-08-20_Pixalate_Privacy_Policy.pdf). *Copyright © 2025 Pixalate** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * × ## Subscribe to the Pixalate Blog The first step in ad fraud prevention.
