Rave - Watch Together

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Rave - Watch Together is a platform for users to enjoy video content together while voice or text chatting. Logging in requires connecting to a pre-existing account, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Google. You can't login with just an email ,and the app will pull your full name from the account you choose. New Raves are public by default, and kids will immediately see a listing of other public raves upon logging in. They come from a wide range of video content from sources like YouTube, Netflix, Vimeo, Reddit, and Google Drive, in a variety of different languages, and clicking on them means giving the app permission to your login information. There are no filters for video content or chat, so users may be exposed to things like violence, sexual content, mature language, and substance abuse. If users don't immediately switch to a private Rave, others can join and chat freely. Location privacy is a concern as the app broadcasts the location of views in a Rave on a map. The site is supported by banner advertisements, but the video content may also have advertising. 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.
