Parental gate questions

Parental gates are used in apps targeted towards kids to prevent them from engaging in commerce or following links out of an app to websites, social networks, or other apps without the knowledge of their parent or guardian.
The Parental Gate is indeed a requirement for ANY links out of the app, including to the app store (and including to another free, kids’ app). So any clickable ads from Publishers will have to trigger it.
A parental gate presents an adult level task which must be completed in order to continue.
Apple is vague about what is and isn’t acceptable, so for publishers it’s a bit of a crapshoot to try different things and see what sticks.
there are many different approaches, which range from “Hold and press” instructions (for pre-reading kids), to math problems such as ours, for 8-12s. ( attached at the end )
Our project manager proposed 3 level of difficulty that publishers can pick depending target age but I like to explore more original solutions around this topic.
Thanks in advance
More info :
Our 3 level of difficulty target :
- Easy : Pre school age kids
- Medium : 7 – 9
- Hard : 10 – 12
While math question is a quick win for easy parental gates, medium and hard need a different approach.
How to compare versions of pages side by side? [on hold]
![How to compare versions of pages side by side? [on hold]](https://uxsharelab.com/wp-content/themes/proxima/images/thumbnail-placeholder.gif)
Comparing two different versions of a web page or article — from a CMS, e-commerce platform, text editor, etc — is a tricky thing to do, as there really isn’t any consolidated design pattern to support it. People often need to compare the current state of a web page against an older revision, to raise awareness about:
- Which blocks and pieces of content have changed
- Which user was responsible for those changes
- Whether those changes were published or only saved as draft
Outside the scope mentioned above, there seem to be some good ideas for side by side comparison out there. Github has a great solution for comparing images and Kaleidoscope does text diffing in quite an interesting way, both allowing for multiple ways of comparing versions of images and text, respectively.
Nonetheless, I’m still wondering how CMS, e-commerce platforms, and text editors handle side by side comparison of different versions of the same page or article – containing text (titles, headlines, body copy), media (images, video) and meta data.
