Apple passes on new CTIA and ESRB mobile app ratings


The CTIA has released a new five-point mobile app rating system and charitable program functioned by the ESRB who have been swiping identical “everybody” and “adult only” ratings on video games since from the 90s. As per expectation, the biggest and second biggest players in the mobile app space, Apple and Google are not supportive the program. Bloomberg reports:

“The app program is targeted at helping parents monitor children’s accumulative use of wireless technology, a concern drawing lawmakers’ attention this year… Apple, maker of the iPhone and iPad, and Google, whose Android software is the most widely used mobile operating software in the U.S., are not taking part in the program and have their own ratings systems”.
