My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

The Play Store has a section for kids, which seems to have better quality apps and games. Also thinking to subscribe to Play Pass so she can try out paid games.

Any other tips? Especially how to find good free / paid games. I don't mind paying for good games.

Also I'm aware I can block ads using eg Pi Hole (already doing that) or sometimes putting it on airplane mode, but that's not my point. I want to find and support quality games.

      Yeah I like it so far. We also have xb gamepass which made me appreciate indie games much more.

      How do you find apps included in play Pass though, do you know? Can only find lists on random websites, not on play store itself.

        Once you're a member it shows you a section in the app store. Unfortunately I'm not sure where to find a list before subscribing.

          I've subscribed, and that section shows up. However it only shows games, not apps. Eg Tasker is included.
