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** - [Monster High Beauty Salon](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/com.crazylabs.monster.high/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) (Google) [Monster High Beauty Salon](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/1289152098/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: Monster High Beauty Salon** ### Likely audience after manual review ### ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-09-2023-11-29-15-6347-AM.png?width=208&height=65&name=undefined-May-09-2023-11-29-15-6347-AM.png)![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/QwfLBhZTw5VlLAdH5DRk2KWzHTpEO9hfyrF1t1CyercUsMD_QQUTC1txKExGv2xjqX4wberlFInpuQKn5wLCbdhllJYTUSkWwnipMhzDfNQMv8OC75GQTH-eRwRaGda6jOfA6kfNO1EYZq_771xjyg) - **Developer: **[CrazyLabs LTD](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/android/all/GLOBAL?developerName=CrazyLabs%20LTD) (Google), [CRAZY LABS BY TABTALE , G.P.](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/ios/all/GLOBAL?developerName=CRAZY%20LABS%20BY%20TABTALE%20,%20G.P.) (Apple) - ******Google Bundle ID: ******com.crazylabs.monster.high - **Apple Bundle ID: **1289152098 - [Privacy Policy](https://www.crazylabs.com/app/) - ****Crystal’s Take: *****An enchanting and spooky way to understand the world of monster fashion.* ### COPPA factors used to determine audience ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-15-0289-AM.png?width=160&height=40&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-15-0289-AM.png) and ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-9034-AM.png?width=131&height=41&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-9034-AM.png) and ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-5489-AM.png?width=124&height=39&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-5489-AM.png) and ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-8016-AM.png?width=185&height=41&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-8016-AM.png) The gameplay screenshots for Monster High Beauty Salon show that the content is visually directed to children with a mixed audience based on the animated characters and images. At the start of the game, you immediately choose a model and create a fun unique fashion look with the beauty tools available. The catwalk music helps set the mood and atmosphere. Players can dye their hair, manicure, perm, assist monster friends with their fashion modifications as the owner fashionista Claudine Wolf, and many other ghostly fashion possibilities. Players need a lot of time and many transformation beauty gadgets that are available in the game. The game has minimal settings. Parents can enable a time limit and completely turn off the music and sounds. There are six sections and each has its purpose. The game is a great way to create a space for creativity. It encourages creative thinking. The description in the “all the fashion girls are ready….the choices are endless like the colors of the rainbow." A section of the Play Store states, “dolls…..dress up….monster girls.” The language and keywords would suggest that this game appeals to children and adults. ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-15-2825-AM.png?width=135&height=42&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-15-2825-AM.png) The incentive of the game is to create an incredible image with the fashion trends for your clients who are monsters. You choose the right hairstyle, nails, clothes, shoes and more to create distinctive combinations. After you complete each transformation, you will receive a gift to create new images.  ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-15-1635-AM.png?width=131&height=39&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-15-1635-AM.png) The advertisement happens in between each fashion tool used. You can either sign up for in-app purchases or have to watch before you move on to the next beauty gadget such as AI Mirror AI Art Photo Editor which is adult in nature and other games called Grow Island, Covet Fashion, and Fantasy Island. At the bottom of the game, there will be ads such as Chick-Fil-A. The ads are directed to adults but some of the games are directed to children. ![](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-6395-AM.png?width=195&height=37&name=undefined-May-23-2023-11-37-14-6395-AM.png) The game is rated E for Everyone in the Google play store and 12+ in the Apple Store. There is no age gate. There is evidence that the app is used by children. A review posted in April of 2023 in the Google Play store says, “I downloaded this for my kids, they were so happy.”  The review is from a parent but no age was specified.  A review posted in the iOS Apple store says, “ Hello I am 7 and I got this game thinking it would be the best game ever.”  The review is from a child whose age is specified.

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.
