Features & Capabilities

Common Sense Media is the essential family review guide for what kids are into -- movies, TV shows, games, apps, podcasts, and more. This extension helps parents assess age-appropriateness and positive messages with filters for streaming services, your kid's age and interests, and family preferences, plus insights from other parents and kids in our community reviews.

Independent nonprofit status ensures ratings are not influenced by product creators or funders. Explore hand-curated collections, create your own watch and read lists, and filter content that is not right for your family, making movie nights safer and smarter.

User Reviews

Common Sense Media is praised as a thorough, parent-focused tool that clearly labels age-appropriateness, offers both kid and adult reviews, and provides in-depth insights that save time. Many users rely on it to guide decisions and conversations about what to watch or read. However, a recurring issue is access being gated behind a subscription, with free content being limited and some features effectively unusable without paying. Reported login and purchase-verification problems, password resets, and frustration over cost contribute to mixed satisfaction. When the service works, it's valuable; when not, users feel it’s overpriced or unreliable.

Pros

Provides clear content warnings and age-appropriateness for movies and TV shows.
Shows both kid and adult reviews and breaks down ratings by category for informed decisions.
Offers in-depth insights, synopses, and recommended alternatives.
Valuable parent-focused resource that helps with conversations and safety.

Cons

Access heavily gated by subscription; free content limited or unavailable.
Login and purchase verification problems; accounts not recognized after payment; locked out.
Frequent login/password prompts and friction; password resets needed.
Perceived high price or paywall focus; many feel it's not worth the cost for limited access.

Recent reviews

I love that the age ratings are based on content, not just reading ability level. ( After all, porn has an average reading level of 6th grade.) I also love that it’s done by a group of competent human beings; it’s not AI or crowdsourced from students. It makes it more comparable to the ESRB and MPA game and movie ratings. Add to that the fact that it’s a nonprofit and this is my first choice of parental ratings and content information!

I have used this app for years to help guide my kids to appropriate media. There is too much available to manage it on my own. Common sense makes it so much easier!
