There are so many great free or inexpensive apps for kids these days...
You type in your password, hand over the device and let the games begin. But beware! In most cases, the app store stays open for 15 minutes after you’ve entered your password. Developers know this and more offers will pop up for your child in that time frame. Just click purchase and you’ve bought it, no password required. What’s worse, that password clock starts over with each purchase, so theoretically your child could keep buying indefinitely.
Apple devices have parental controls which let you block in-app purchases. Other devices can be protected from your settings screen. You can change the 15 minute time window or find a setting that allows free apps only.
