Google today announced at its I/O developer conference a special place for children and parents in the Google Play Store. It’s called the Family Store.
You can drill down to apps by age — like apps for kids aged 9-12 and those for kids aged 6-8, as Google Play product manager Ellie Powers said onstage.
The move comes a month after the introduction of Google Play’s Designed for Families program. In that program, app developers can designate their apps as kid-friendly and worthy of an ESRB Everyone or Everyone 10+ rating, or an equivalent rating.
Apps that fit these parameters get a cute little star, Powers said.
