Khan Academy
ParentMode's take
12+ (aligns with App Store rating; mature for independent use at 13+)
Khan Academy is a legitimate educational platform with peer-reviewed curricula. The mild content advisories reflect incidental references in history, science, and health lessons rather than design intent; however, some topics (reproductive health, substance education) assume moderate maturity to contextualize without distraction.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Check the App Store privacy label for what data Khan Academy collects; assume that any chat or written responses may inform the platform's recommendations or analytics.
Controls
Use device-level Screen Time (iOS) or Family Link (Android) to set app time limits and restrict purchases; review Khan Academy's own account settings for notification and content preferences.
A cautious next step
For younger learners (under 12), parent co-viewing or co-learning with structured, offline workbooks may reduce distraction and data collection.
The age rating, developer, and advisories above are Apple App Store facts. The guidance is ParentMode's own protective, conservative editorial — general parenting guidance, not clinical, legal, or diagnostic advice, and not an endorsement or a warning from Apple or Khan Academy. Apps change; always check the current listing.
