App testing & reviews · See our review methodology
Ads in kids’ apps are one of the most common parent complaints — banner ads that get accidentally tapped, video ads that interrupt a coloring session, or ads disguised as content. We test the actual coloring canvas of every app for ad behavior during a real session, and the apps below showed no ads at the time of our testing.
Because ad behavior can change between app updates, we treat this as accurate as of our last test date rather than a permanent guarantee — we recheck on every testing pass, and you should confirm current behavior on the App Store listing before installing for a child.
How We Chose
We install the current public build, use the app as a child would for a full session, and note any ads or interstitials that appear. See our full review methodology.
