Scan a book, movie, show, game, or curriculum and see the worldview, content flags, and a suggested age before your kids do. Five scans a month free, no card.
Slant Scanner is a worldview analysis tool for parents who think carefully about what their family reads, watches, and plays.
Scan any book, movie, TV show, video game, or curriculum and get a full ideological and content breakdown — instantly.
WHAT YOU GET WITH EVERY SCAN:
· Thematic lean analysis — see the worldview messaging embedded in the content
· Full content breakdown — language, violence, sexual content, occult themes, and more
· Spiritual concern rating — flags dark spiritual content independent of political lean
· Worldview axes — six dimensions including family structure, moral framework, and view of faith
· First Look summary — a plain-language verdict for busy parents
· Age recommendation — honest guidance on who this content is appropriate for
· Redemption arc score — does the story treat sin and consequences seriously?
BUILT FOR HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES:
Slant Scanner includes dedicated curriculum analysis. Scan Sonlight, Abeka, Veritas Press, Classical Conversations, and hundreds of other curriculum resources to see publisher philosophy, ease of use, strengths, weaknesses, and worldview summary — everything you need before making a curriculum purchase.
HONEST AND NUANCED:
We don't just flag content — we explain it. Every content category rated above "none" includes a specific explanation of what drove that rating. Thematic lean is scored separately from content concerns, because a book can be politically conservative but spiritually troubling, or politically neutral but beautifully redemptive.
SAVE AND TRACK:
· Watchlist — save movies, shows, games, and curriculum to review later
· Read List — save books you want to evaluate before your kids read them
· Scan History — every analysis you've run, searchable and filterable
· Export — Analyst subscribers can export history as CSV or individual scans as PDF
SUBSCRIPTION TIERS:
Free — 5 scans per month
Scout — 25 scans per month, Watchlist and Read List
Analyst — Unlimited scans, PDF and CSV export, family sharing
We map thematic lean — not quality.

Do yourself a favor and download SlantScanner now! It has helped me so much already in deciding if books are safe for my kids! My daughter is a big reader but with her reading chapter books now I can’t read multiple chapter books a week to make sure the content is appropriate. This makes it so simple to decide if it’s on the approved list for our kids. It’s also saved us so much time deciding on movies and shows for family night or date night for my husband and I. Now we don’t watch part of a movie or a few episodes of a show and decide it isn’t for us. 🎉

Thank you — the chapter-book problem is exactly the one I built this for. Once a kid reads faster than you can pre-read, the old approach just stops working.Mike Rogers, Founder
Great Screening Tool
Spongebobs biggest fan
The app is a great resources for people who want to be aware of what they are reading. I used it before hand to be aware for possible themes or ideas that could cause spiritual misguidance. It also gave me some thoughts to think about before reading and allowed me to ponder on them as I read. I’d recommend to anyone who wants to be cautious about the information they are taking in or want an insight into a book to help them better digest themes and concepts before reading.

I have shared it across multiple platforms!! Highly recommend! Would love to get some pro features for sharing 🤞🏻
Developer Response
Hey Jinx,Thank you, that means a lot.Sharing already exists on the Analyst plan: family sharing for up to 5 profiles, plus PDF and CSV export if you want to hand a report to someone. If that is not the kind of sharing you meant, email me at hello@slantscanner.com and tell me what you had in mind — requests like yours are how this gets built.All glory to Christ,Mike Rogers, Founder of Slant Scanner
Love the concept, weak execution
TiffanyReviewer
Concept is great but it's asking me to login to access content, but I am already logged in. It's glitching and I can't see any place to access "help" .---Finally logged in and it will not successfully look up any book, movie, just continues "scanning"
Developer Response
Tiffany — you were right on both counts, and both are now fixed.The login loop was a real bug: the app could hand you a session our server did not yet recognize, so it bounced you back to the login screen seconds after you had signed in.The scans that never finished were a separate problem on our end, and that one is fixed too. Scans now complete in about 30 to 60 seconds. Help is at hello@slantscanner.com, which was also far too hard to find when you wrote this.Thank you for describing it in enough detail that we could track both down. If you ever give it another try, I would genuinely like to know what you think.Mike Rogers, Founder
