My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it’s riddled with ads.

The Play Store has a section for kids, which seems to have better quality apps and games. Also thinking to subscribe to Play Pass so she can try out paid games.

Any other tips? Especially how to find good free / paid games. I don’t mind paying for good games.

Also I’m aware I can block ads using eg Pi Hole (already doing that) or sometimes putting it on airplane mode, but that’s not my point. I want to find and support quality games.

    “Shattered pixel dungeon” is a rouge-like top down rpg with no ads and is quite fun. You can only pay if you choose to support the dev.

      As much as I like that game, the learning curve is steep af! Unless the little one handles frustration well, it will be a hard sell.
