Kids In Mind provides parents and other adults with objective and complete information about a films content so that they can decide, based on their own value system, whether they should watch a movie with or without their kids.

-- WHAT IS INCLUDED? --

• Over 3,000 movie reviews and ratings
• Detailed content for every movie
• Notifications when new movie reviews are available
• No ads or pop-ups
• 60 days of new movie reviews and ratings


-- THE DETAILS --

Kids In Mind describes the exact content of each movie from the number of profanities uttered to descriptions of every violent and sexual scene. Kids In Mind makes no judgments about what is good or bad and does not "condemn," "critique" or "criticize" movies. Kids In Mind doesn’t "praise" or "recommend" movies either.

Unlike the MPAA ratings (R, PG-13, PG, etc.) we do not assign a rating based on age. We rate Sex/Nudity, Violence/Gore, and Profanity on a scale from 0 to 10 and we explain in detail why a film rates high or low in a specific category.

Kids In Mind gives you over 3,000 detailed movie reviews with detailed content and ratings along with a year of new movie reviews. After 60 days of new reviews, you have the option of purchasing a 12 month subscription of new movie reviews via in-app purchase.


-- Q & A --

• Do you determine if a movie is appropriate for kids?

No. Our system is based on objective standards, not the viewers age or the artistic merits of a film. We allow you to determine whether a movie is appropriate for you or your children. Along with a rating for Sex, Violence, and Profanity, we also include instances of substance use, a list of discussion topics that may elicit questions from children, and the message the film conveys.

• How detailed are your reviews?

Very detailed. We provide you with almost every detail of the movie from matter-of-fact sexual scene descriptions to exactly how many profanities are exclaimed.

• After 60 days , can I get new reviews?

The app includes 60 days of new movie reviews. After 60 days, the app will prompt you to purchase a subscription for continued new reviews.

• How do I subscribe?

After 60 days, the app requires an optional subscription to continue receiving new movie reviews. Payments will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

• Tell me more about the subscription.

In order to continue receiving new reviews after the initial 60 days included in your purchase, you have the option of purchasing a subscription. The subscription is for 1 month for USD 0.99 and will automatically renew each month unless cancelled.

Pros and cons of Kids In Mind - Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Kids In Mind - Pro app good for

Unlike other similar resources, KIM doesnt make value judgments about movies, just objective summaries of their content. We rely on it all the time to decide what to watch with our kids and have never been misled.
Non judgmental dissection in each movie review. A must-have for parents who care about what their kids are watching. Pushed reviews of new movie releases are a great feature.
I use this all the time to see if movies are appropriate for my kids to watch!
This app is super detailed and non judgmental when it comes to movies and I can honestly say its the best $2 Ive ever spent :)
Wonderful to be able to see what the rating actually means. I use it all the time.
Love this app, I use it for every movie that I consider watching! Only wish more of the older movies were included.

Some bad moments

Our kids have all moved out and we still use Kids-in-Mind before watching any movie. Its always good to be careful what you watch. K-in-M has the right info.
It just keep loading. Its a worthless app. It was nice before the update.
Back in the day I relied on Screenit. Now this app is everything I need and it it does a very good job articulating everything potentially offensive in movies -- so helpful! One HUGE suggestion: Let me filter the reviews I see. The descriptions can be pretty graphic, and if I know I wont watch R-rated movies, let me turn those off so I dont even see those reviews at all. Do that and you get 5 stars from me!
Im disappointed that after having the Pro version for quite some time they have now changed it to an expensive subscription. Going back to add version. Not cool.
