Common Sense Media 4+

I’ve been using the csm website for sometime. Not sure if the app is new or I just finally discovered it, but I love it! Makes searching book and movie titles much quicker. The app design is clean and simple to use. And the concept of common sense media is as helpful as always, I love being able to check movies/books before allowing my son to view them. Since every kid is different and can handle a different level of stuff it’s nice to look through the comments and different aspects of each review so I can find something that is truly suitable for my child. I definitley recommend becoming a member, I have been for a while now because I would hate finding new content without the help of this app and the website.

We're so glad you're liking the app! Are there any improvements or feature requests you'd like to see?

I use this app everytime I watch a movie with my girlfriend, make sure there isn’t anything crazy in the movie, we like watching the romance movies, but not the intense romance, I also use this for me if I am watching a movie by myself. This app is great, and Common Sense Media is very helpful!

I think the app overall is okay. When I realized I had to pay for it, deleted immediately. I would rather have a few adds for relevant products for families than pay for something I can search for on the internet. I also was disappointed about the way the filters work. If you have little boys, the books that are more likely to be enjoyed by them are at the bottom. Something that could have been awesome impacted by virtue signaling and money making.

Sorry to hear you’re not enjoying the app! Hopefully I can provide some context on why we charge for subscriptions. As a nonprofit, we rely on subscription revenue to continue our work and make sure all families and schools can access essential Common Sense resources. With support from our community of parents, caregivers, and educators, we can maintain an unbiased, in-depth editorial process. Our ratings and reviews aren't influenced by advertisers, developers, or funders. We never receive payments or other consideration for our reviews. That means our reviewers can continue to put kids' healthy development front and center, keeping kids and families in mind every time they create the age rating and parents' guide for a movie, show, book, game, or app. Lastly, about the filter issue: could you clarify what you mean by "books that are more likely to be enjoyed by them are at the bottom"? We'd like to understand your problem more clearly so that we can hopefully get it fixed soon. Thanks!
