The Explorers

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that The Explorers is a video and image collection crowd-sourced from professionals and hobbyists highlighting the earth's culture, geography, people, and animals as a way to catalog the earth's resources. A free version includes short videos, images with brief explanations, and access to join a community of explorers and submit photos and videos. All submitted content is approved by the developers before being posted to the app. According to the developer's terms of service, any videos that contain mature content, including culturally appropriate nudity, must be tagged as sensitive and is available only to users age 15 and up. A $2.99/month subscription unlocks longer videos; there's a two-week free trial available. Kids must register for an account using Facebook, Apple, or an email address. They do not have to participate in the community, which is mostly adults and includes contests (rated as gambling in the App store, giving it a recommended age of 17+.) 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.
