App & game safety, app by app

Most parents don't come to this asking "is the internet bad?" — they come asking one very specific question: "My kid wants Roblox / TikTok / Discord. Is it OK?"

That's the question I had too. So we did the homework on the apps and games our boys actually wanted, sat with the settings, and worked out which ones we'd allow, which ones we'd delay, and exactly what to switch on if the answer was yes. These are the honest, mum-to-mum verdicts. No app is all good or all bad — it depends on your child and how it's set up. Pick the one you're wrestling with and start there.
