Learn more about classification Neow
In addition to PEGI age recommendations from the Google Play Store, Neow has designed its own classification into three groups to give you a clear vision and keep you in control.

Applications with parental authorization
🟠 Parental consent required(Blacklist Neow)
These apps have features that deserve your attention, including:
- algorithms designed to capture attention;
- exposure to unsuitable content;
- sharing of personal data;
- circumvention of rights on networks (VPN, operator boxes);
- in-app messaging exposing users to unidentified third parties;
