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 on the Google Play 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** - [Transporter 3D](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/com.timuzsolutions.transporter3d/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) ### 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)* ### **This Week’s Reviewer Spotlight: **[**Amanda Moody**](https://www.pixalate.com/trust-and-safety-advisory-board)** ** ## **![Teacher Quotes Template-1](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teacher%20Quotes%20Template-1.png?width=781&height=439&name=Teacher%20Quotes%20Template-1.png)** ***Amanda’s Review: *** The app we’re going to look at today is from the Google Play Store; a truck driving simulation gaming app with over 5 million downloads. I’ll discuss how the subjective factors set forth in the COPPA Rule apply to the app and factor into my determination as to whether the app is child-directed or general audience (i.e., it is not targeting children). ## **Manual Review: Transporter 3D** ### Likely audience after manual review ### ![General Audience_V2](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/General%20Audience_V2.png?width=205&height=65&name=General%20Audience_V2.png) - **Developer: **[**Timuz Games**](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/android/all/GLOBAL?developerName=Timuz%20Games) - **Bundle ID: **com.timuzsolutions.transporter3d - [**Privacy Policy**](https://www.timuz.com/mobilegames/privacypolicy.html) - **Amanda’s Take:** *No evidence of content appealing to children, app is for general audiences* ### COPPA factors used to determine audience ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/r1bGJYYgRPEba6jJ7zVNF4Cf5ZJ43mqcubekxewxGxvm_dBVh3WEiCVlSM4CTEUr9um6-bmMCXhYa-1gqcKKhvAXk7Sre98Wwm-pS9TcsVXijD0Q3wY0DNF-cyS9Y2FNwO3ZMJDrAsbjN3JOqvqfcs2NuTDWCcgCh5be4Uj5uIsmeAyPY3KNE7_ys0yeYg) and ![subject-matter](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Media/Blog%20photos/subject-matter.png?width=165&height=42&name=subject-matter.png) The gameplay environment of the [Transporter 3D](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/com.timuzsolutions.transporter3d/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) app is composed of computer generated city and country landscapes with buildings, roads, and other features that are clearly designed to resemble realistic locations. Players can choose between different large transport vehicles to drive such as semi and flatbed trucks. The visual content and subject matter of this game appear to be targeting an  audience above age 13 as no visible features during gameplay are overtly child-directed. ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/rtoq9-BOmpu--txR1mVtnjApjwp1lkbwuzxVgXSkuL0aMNvUc3YHZxdnUzu0w7kgatZIv51jmByBmMCGBYRASDUvfrzl-rIQteiDNI2ByG040lIfpsy19CYYSOZp8plRCdbcN1HGz5vHfwdfOjZGtHpYOm_uPAUI9O0kh4DTqj9J08YjRU_7MVF3Ty2e-w) During gameplay, after losing or successfully completing a level, a video advertisement is served. The video advertisements that played during my assessment were from Google Wallet, Ray Ban Sunglasses, and TikTok. None of these advertisements appeared child-directed. ![audience-composition](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Media/Blog%20photos/audience-composition.png?width=214&height=41&name=audience-composition.png) When looking at popular apps like [Transporter 3D](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/com.timuzsolutions.transporter3d/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) that do not appear to be child-directed based on visual content, subject matter, music and sounds, and other features that could be apparent during gameplay or visible in the Play Store description, it’s important to sift through reviews and look for any possible reviews from children under the age of 13. After searching the reviews using child-related keyword searches, I did not find any  reviews that appeared to be posted from children or referenced children using the app. Privacy This app’s [privacy policy](https://www.timuz.com/mobilegames/privacypolicy.html) does not mention that it handles data differently based on a user’s age. There is no section that covers how the developer would handle children’s data if it obtained actual knowledge of children using the app. Screenshots of Transporter 3D: ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pUxdpA5iR-vfsGb2-hG2quTD0wn25VSi65ysd9PZQ6NJcj7ZApHVeF8itRaVa4ry3tHpQshKK5AoA3wdvK5JVDPCZEktgYIE1NyP_VXOSQw_n4olv-6xOKayAreyhOwahVarXYUhJl4Dr_XWl8Hy9L0luHxZ2iTrYOxBdDCN_MhD8QGNXE3Ap5xNTvMf-g) ### 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.
