I'm working on an unabridged dictionary app. My goal is to release a 4+ rated app which schools can freely purchase.
The nature of language is that some words are profane, disparaging, vulgar, or otherwise offensive. I have carefully identified words and definitions which are offensive, vulgar or could be considered inappropriate for children. My app can hide/censor them.
What's the best way to release a 4+ app, while also providing a way for adults to unlock the full dictionary, completed with profanity and all the offensive words?
One idea would be to require a free in-app purchase (free non-consumable In-App Purchase) to unlock the offensive content, plus the option to set a password to re-lock offensive content. The idea being that a responsible party/adult would need to authorize it.
Other ideas or best practices?
The solution I am ultimately using is a free, non-consumable, in-app purchase. The theory is that in a school, only the administrators will be able to make in-app purchases. So for our purpose (unlocking unabridged content), it meets the goal. Ditto for parents who are keen to maintain control over their devices/apps.
