A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that fresh.ink is a free app with access to published short stories, essays, and novels to read in an e-book style format. A new story by an author is available to read every day. The selections vary in subject matter and length of time it takes to read. Users can participate in a virtual discussion within the app, answering thought provoking questions, which are left as a comment for the author and other readers to see as part of an online discussion. From story to story, the maturity level varies widely and can contain mature content involving sex, violence, and profanity. During review there were references to suicide, sex, and the word "f--k." The discussions were tame and story-focused, but it's unclear how well they're moderated.
