Dare App: Try Your Nerve

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Dare App: Try Your Nerve is a social networking app that allows kids to create, share, and partake in different types of challenges. The experience is grounded in the exchange of "Gold," the app's currency, for creating and completing challenges. When creating a challenge, users determine the reward the winner will get. "Gold" can be accumulated through in-app purchase or by completing challenges that reward users with points. Money earned by completing and winning challenges is available for withdrawal with a connected PayPal account. Kids will encounter some challenges centered around dancing, singing, physical fitness, or doing something silly. However, there are also challenges that encourage sexy behavior, drinking alcohol, potentially doing dangerous activities, or sharing private or sensitive information. Although the app asks users to confirm that they mean no harm through the challenges, there's free expression and limited monitoring of content posted to the feed. Users have the option to report challenges and content as inappropriate. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
