Course Hero

This app offers an AI companion or open-ended chatbot a child can confide in — the pattern that warrants the closest parental attention.

ParentMode's take

14+ with active parental oversight; 13+ only if a parent reviews the app's AI features and privacy settings first.

Course Hero pairs homework help with an AI assistant that can engage in open-ended conversation. While the app's stated purpose is educational, the conversational AI and user-generated content (study guides, Q&A) on the platform introduce maturity and privacy considerations beyond typical homework tools. The 12+ rating reflects Apple's content advisories but doesn't account for the relational dynamic some children may develop with an AI chatbot.

What a parent can do

Data & privacy

Review the app's privacy label in the App Store; assume that messages sent to the AI may be logged, analyzed, or used to improve the service, and discuss this with your child beforehand.

Controls

Set Screen Time limits on the app and explore the app's own account and conversation settings to understand what data is retained; use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS or Family Link on Android) to monitor usage patterns.

A cautious next step

If your child is under 14, consider starting with teacher-recommended homework resources that do not include open-ended AI chat or peer-generated content libraries.
