# Pixalate's COPPA Manual Reviews: ‘UNO!'

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

 Jun 5, 2024 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 popular mobile app (1 million+ downloads) from the Google Play Store and 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).

### COPPA factors used to determine audience

UNO is a well-known family card game. It is rated 4+ on the Apple App Store and PEGI 3 on the Google Play Store. The app begins by offering a tutorial on how to play the game. The overall aim is to win the round by getting rid of all of your cards, and a card can be placed down if it matches either the number or the color of the card in the middle. The tutorial and the game are both heavily supported by the app, making it easy for players of all ages.

The app shows which cards are available to be played in each turn, so there is no guesswork required. If the user fails to play a card, the app will do it automatically.

![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd88EL0KnJMoXknSkzSpoT2SsYCVSuKnOOaUA1YoJjmbj5HAoQ6Wc6aVgY5CjTa-lNDWX12t9G3ovPlEqtGkxg0HKS_k-jgIuHZMj5VfebqkIvEvqyWdPEntVF-Za-hcrXkdR_g6EWYN2pNZVDr8IzIu8cx?key=EGsGvv4pLMOmVXTP6bZ4Tg)

There are different game modes available to play, with Classic, Go Wild, Side 2 Side, and Open Draft available to play once they have been unlocked. Each has different rules and functions available, all set around the same central theme of matching the number or the color.   
These modes can be unlocked by earning trophies, which is done by winning games. The app matches the user up with other random players worldwide (or bots!). Players can also sign in to play with friends.

There are micro-transactions within the game, allowing the user to buy their rewards more quickly. The app provided a  ‘coupon’ to incentivize the player to purchase, by getting more gold coins for their money. The app has daily check-in rewards to further motivate the user to keep coming back. They also award the player a status level, with titles to reward consistent gameplay.

UNO has recently been available in Happy Meals in the UK, which will in turn broaden the appeal of the app to children encountering it for the first time. Some apps in the review store appear to have been written by children, with one reviewer’s username being “Angelic Robloxian”

Privacy:

The app uses a self-declarative method of determining the age of the user; they are asked to choose the age range they fall into. The lowest of these age ranges is 4-12. The app displays a short form [Privacy Policy](https://www.mattel163.com/privacypolicy.html) and states that they disable “all other collection” of personal information from children under the age of consent.

### 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.”
