Frequently Asked Questions
What age are these Halloween apps suitable for?
The apps in this round-up suit a range of ages, from simple colouring and dress-up apps for younger children to puzzle and adventure games that older kids will enjoy. Always check the age rating on the app store listing before downloading, as this reflects the most up-to-date guidance from the developer.
Are the apps free to download?
Pricing and in-app purchases can change, so it’s worth checking the current listing on the App Store or Google Play before you download. Some apps may offer free play with optional extras, while others may have a one-off cost.
Are these apps safe for kids to use unsupervised?
As with any app, it’s a good idea for parents to try it out first, check the app’s privacy settings and enable any parental controls available on the device. This is especially worthwhile for apps with in-app purchases or online features.
Will the apps work on both iPhone and Android devices?
Availability varies by app — some are iOS-only, some are available on Google Play only, and others are on both. We’ve noted the platforms for each app above, but it’s worth double-checking on the relevant app store, as availability can change over time.
