The educators manually review thousands of mobile apps available in the Google Play & Apple App Stores as well as connected TV (CTV) apps from the Roku Channel Store and Amazon Fire TV App Store using the COPPA Rule factors shown below & make those results available to the public at [ratings.pixalate.com](https://ratings.pixalate.com/). This post takes a look at a popular mobile app on Google Play Store with over 1 million+ downloads. Our reviewer discusses how the subjective factors set forth in the COPPA Rule apply to the app and factor into the reviewer's determination as to whether the app is child-directed or general audience (i.e., it is not targeting children). ## **Manually reviewed in this post** - [Pegasus Flying Horse Simulator](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/com.wildanimals.pegasus/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) ## **This Week’s Reviewer: Crystal Pearson** ![Teacher Quotes Template-3](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teacher%20Quotes%20Template-3.png?width=795&height=447&name=Teacher%20Quotes%20Template-3.png) The 10 COPPA Rule factors The teacher will indicate the factors they relied upon in their assessment using the 10 factors shown below that reflect the 10 child-directed factors in the [COPPA Rule](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/rules/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule-coppa). *![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/30aNBVdKJcGRgal4gjbUy-oFUo-yJbGN9Voi59WjNO3ryRkv1RlTw3wMt4x8saP9c89PJbXjJfEH0E7Y9WmkmWc2vrJchbnFykl7ImkrRDBd4LXx5jEnpb27LcB76ZDCjOMJNmNSf03cMqfuqWF56XOwN4Mkc_yKXukaXRg7TNE3gwj_IZQIj5yp1gcf9w)* ## Manual Review: Pegasus Flying Horse Simulator ### Likely audience after manual review ### ![Mixed Audience (1)](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Mixed%20Audience%20(1).png?width=190&height=60&name=Mixed%20Audience%20(1).png) - Developer: [**Wild Animals World**](https://ratings.pixalate.com/discovery/apps/list/android/all/GLOBAL?developerName=Wild%20Animals%20World) - Bundle ID: com.wildanimals.pegasus - [**Privacy Policy**](http://wildanimalsworld.com/privacy/) - **Crystal’s take:** *Visually entertaining game involving magic horses appealing for a mixed audience.* ### COPPA factors used to determine audience ![visual-content](https://www.pixalate.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Media/Blog%20photos/visual-content.png?width=158&height=40&name=visual-content.png) and ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/4pFo7N8D-qFeh-yausN6EoWC-JtW5cbI2XyvUsMyMqyOEILEspxXSJ-tqFIypjTyHGSJ0LwMKEL1DLKoLJvBuFtCPpdTg2O9AJFVQQuGbYDcEyKqbGg2ghNCMjwcUyEdZlAXqZjXXuEMp6si2zuTGt2TI8NMo8zfMXbdppos8F37VhYgBd2MqBkZ2x9h) and ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Vb1ZCRKeVDzy5CjFBOKqjuMn4Vh6oq4KMxfqaRPcKPDhMnC42B7wSmiOA5Y_czd0b4c1OHes3RYn8VziTXETnOqXOEQOoBn09QtKJeT3TAyIaxRX1PQSkujoueT9O9q8-FXpsiRI0nRYb1ocM2r2tkVuegwQCFJinz3KDgduyGILHqpuaPYvD2UOo0Vx) The gameplay screenshots for [Pegasus Flying Horse Simulator](https://ratings.pixalate.com/insight/apps/com.wildanimals.pegasus/GLOBAL/android/GLOBAL) has app language directed to a mixed audience, and visual content with animation that includes computer-animated images of unicorns, pegasuses, wizards, dragons, and other imagery that would likely appeal to children. The description in the “about this game” section of the Play Store explains that the user can turn into a “beautiful Pegasus and start adventures.” The features “your own magic animal, that you can feed, ride and play with!” ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/egfJuvOEw0YOAnrw9Ae85-YEcRwYx9WTSLcUwfZx5yE-nWSZmxkV6zeNCs_08N51RXxTCP6zlldOUluBUVVoHgkU_ERvUvp8voHfMG2icXdbM8XSHBpTG1bIcGYAqh44nqnn_acDcGogGVW0EAfBG4bX7zvg9qc8c1eJsNRQTeiYGRb2jqMz_rTaUdnq)  Music during game play has sounds of the forest and rivers. It’s soothing and would appeal to a mixed audience. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Sbn_fEt4yHhEHRtKoHJ4aZ_1vRfewJd5LDa9a2lwzyQVJDqpDI78gHlibHMcbCVp3TN6UQMiUNz05328k9SWAkVK8A9k2lkwm7hYWkigS2nJYnTT2bqoLowuURnrPIdf-dZ09cdD_lmqcyGfQq1OReZlt3NWixQCaEYLN0WNL3rFE_iKnnAlRxp1e1T8) People of all ages would enjoy the game, which is to finish all of the quests by looking for treasures and magic flowers while fighting wizards and dragons. The app store description says, "Survival is not easy - create a strategy to support your horses.” The game’s incentive structure is challenging enough that older teens and adults would also be interested in playing it. ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/I-CEgfo0BNL5UvPgTgNuTtREK5j6sowlUA82EclbtONSitFv5gts8JN0fTA-mVvChHEcPEaC-jk1BTHWe2x9U7m_nIM0YwPPAHwhCMFE9_E2x_UwpzTFfX-WSjNeewHb6OuBolyI6Q9ri-iGSRHwcmPT9-9G_vZMtsAOVDbyjNCSNfP3ZDOk85y3nhfFng) During gameplay, before the game loads, ads pop up. The ad that displayed in my sample play was Jungle Parrot Simulator; however, you can click the “X” to the left and it disappears. When you choose either mission or survival to play the game an ad pops up with an adult discussing how great it is to play the game, “Royal Match” (a matching puzzle app directed to everyone). This ad continues to show throughout the game. This advertising would appeal to a mixed audience. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nzr_UvQAgYwceS_wlXNDa2patjzQMw3qp4loAei3aUBvKUKSfHfFS6PGCODZCQFwEmMMCQSAnX4iywEJO_B1X4IPp_CPl6qg9wh5N1OBpq32fLBTfIb9puNCokyYWcAta6uDraZhji6DPTSjDDz2uzV4tkYP0mn1Qpfy89hlo60feh_nSBNELtDfKZFUbA) This game has a Teen rating in the Google Play store. I saw evidence of both adults and children using the app based on the user reviews in the Google Play Store. One review from June of 2020 mentioned “...I’m a child.” Another review from July of 2021 was from a parent who referred to her daughter using the app although she did not specify her daughter’s age. **Privacy**  The developer’s [privacy policy](http://wildanimalsworld.com/privacy/) does not indicate when it was last updated and it does not state how it treats personal information of children under 13. The policy states, “it does collect personal information and share with third party providers.” The app's privacy policy does, however, share [link one](https://youradchoices.com/) and [link two](https://thenai.org/) to opt out, but states that it may not reach all advertising partners and may still show targeted advertising.

This manual review process serves to quality check Pixalate’s automated review process. [See our full methodology](https://www.pixalate.com/coppa-compliance-tools-methodology) for more information.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.” ** ** *By clicking Download and entering your email address, you are agreeing to our [Terms of Use](https://www.pixalate.com/terms) and have read and acknowledge our [Privacy Policy](https://www.pixalate.com/hubfs/2024-08-20_Pixalate_Privacy_Policy.pdf). *Copyright © 2025 Pixalate** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * × ## Subscribe to the Pixalate Blog The first step in ad fraud prevention.
