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 popular mobile app (1 million+ downloads) from the Google Play and Apple App Stores. 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** - [Lingokids - Play and Learn](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/es.monkimun.lingokids/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) (Google) [Lingokids - Play and Learn](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/1002043426/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: Crystal Pearson** ## **![Crystal Pearson](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Crystal%20Pearson.png?width=781&height=439&name=Crystal%20Pearson.png)** ## **Manual Review: Lingokids - Play and Learn** ### Likely audience after manual review ### ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-02-2023-10-37-19-7259-AM.png?width=205&height=65&name=undefined-May-02-2023-10-37-19-7259-AM.png)![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/QwfLBhZTw5VlLAdH5DRk2KWzHTpEO9hfyrF1t1CyercUsMD_QQUTC1txKExGv2xjqX4wberlFInpuQKn5wLCbdhllJYTUSkWwnipMhzDfNQMv8OC75GQTH-eRwRaGda6jOfA6kfNO1EYZq_771xjyg) - **Developer: **[Lingokids - English Learning For Kids](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/android/all/GLOBAL?developerName=Lingokids%20-%20English%20Learning%20For%20Kids) (Google), [Monkimun Inc](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/ios/all/GLOBAL?developerName=Monkimun%20Inc) (Apple) - ******Google Bundle ID: ******es.monkimun.lingokids - **Apple Bundle ID: **1002043426 - [Privacy Policy](https://lingokids.com/privacy-policy) - **Crystal’s Take: ***Interactive** app that has cute, colorful, fun and expressive animated characters and images that teaches kids essential skills through colorful video and fun activities.* ### COPPA factors used to determine audience ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-6941-AM.png?width=160&height=40&name=undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-6941-AM.png) and ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-4202-AM.png?width=124&height=39&name=undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-4202-AM.png) and ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-5388-AM.png?width=185&height=41&name=undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-5388-AM.png) and ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-8123-AM.png?width=131&height=41&name=undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-8123-AM.png) The gameplay screenshots for Lingokids-Play and Learn include images of childlike animated characters, age of models, and illustrations. The sounds are that of animals and kids playing as well as many fun whimsical songs. A lot of the content focuses on early literacy skills and it has interactive educational learning content such as personal hygiene, vocabulary, songs, stories, tracing, and observational skills. The app store description says, “kids can explore exciting adventures...  kids can play, learn, and thrive… helping to shape them into curious, life long learners.” The language is child directed and it is subscription based but there is a basic plan free of charge with a few activities per day. ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-9457-AM.png?width=195&height=37&name=undefined-May-02-2023-10-43-57-9457-AM.png) This game is rated E for Everyone in the Google Play Store and 4+ (made for ages 0-5) in the Apple store. There is no age gate but the app does ask for the age of the child when the parent is setting up the children’s profile. There is a parent dashboard where parents can create an account for each child so that the app can tailor the activities to each child while choosing how long their children can play. The app shows evidence that children use the app. In January of  2023, a reviewer said, “the app helps my child to be more confident in speaking at 5 years old.”  The review was by a parent and the age was specified. In October of 2022, a reviewer stated, “My child absolutely loves it.” The review was a parent but no actual age was given. In June of 2020, a reviewer stated and specified the age of the child, “My 3 year old  loves this app and I love it more.”  Privacy: The developer’s [privacy policy ](https://lingokids.com/privacy-policy)was last updated in June 2020. The policy states, “ We inform you that we may include pop-up ads or advertisements directed at children but only exclusively related to Lingokids products or services.  We do not collect any information from children.

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.
