Equii

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Equii is a rebus-puzzle app where kids try to figure out a word or phrase based on a collection of picture clues. These rebus puzzles are sometimes quite challenging, and many kids will struggle to figure out what the pictures are in the first place. They'll also need to spell the final answer correctly in order to get it to register. There are in-app purchases without a parent gate, pop-up ads, and video ads. Kids will need to use coins to purchase hints/help and may feel pressure to buy more with real money if they can't complete a puzzle. There are user-created puzzles (using an included library of images) that don't seem to be moderated, but users can report them if necessary. Also built in is an image of a woman in a bikini labeled "boobs." 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.
