Khan Academy
ParentMode's take
12+ (as rated), supervised use recommended under 13
Khan Academy is a legitimate educational platform with peer-reviewed curriculum content. The mild advisories (sexual content, medical info, mature themes) appear in educational context—health, history, literature units—rather than gratuitous use, which aligns with typical school curricula at this level.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Review the app's privacy label in the App Store; assume any written input (questions, notes) may be retained and used to improve the service.
Controls
Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to set app limits and view usage; check Khan Academy's own settings for account privacy preferences.
A cautious next step
For children under 12, supervised use alongside a parent—or pausing until 12–13—keeps learning support intentional rather than unsupervised.
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.
