When my daughter goes to be, she is awake all hours on chat room apps. I have had to take her iphone away when she goes to bed. I wish I could just turn time restrictions on as I have for her iMac. Her iMac goes off just before she goes to bed, meaning I don't have to shout at her for half an hour to get ready for bed.</p> Can we PLEASE get time restrictions on apps!!!

If you block it they'll find a way to go around the block, Other kids have iPod Touch or iPhone so you block one person there are other ways to get to the app.</p> Parental Controls are very annoying (have to deal with Windows Parental Controls.)

But wonder if Apple also thinks so.</p> I think this feature will decrease the outrage against apps such as baby shaker. But wonder if Apple also thinks so.

Apps rated for 17+ would not be included in that. Although under that system I don't see the difference between choosing 17+ and choosing to allow all apps. It seems like those would be the same.</p> If you choose 12+, it allows you all apps rated 4+, 9+, and 12+. Apps rated for 17+ would not be included in that.

If I choose “allow apps rated 12+” it means to me “allow apps for people aged 12 or over, but not apps for people younger than that”.

Which would be the reverse of my expectation for parental control: you want to disallow apps rated 12+.

And I'm pretty sure there is a way for users to complain if an app appears inappropriate, and I'm sure Apple would review the particular rating for that individual app.</p> Actually, I think when you submit an app, you select the appropriate demographic… depends on the content of the app – they have checkboxes for all the types of potentially offensive etc. content – so developers have been doing it all along.
