Are these video and music apps safe for kids?

App Checker is a free tool that shows what an Android app declares before you install it. Search any app to see its Google Play permissions, ads, age rating and privacy policy, or upload an APK to see its manifest: permissions, exported components, deep links and certificate pinning.

Yes, it is free and there is no signup or account. Searches and APK uploads are rate-limited so the service stays available for everyone.

Play Store results are fetched live from the app's current Google Play listing, not from a curated database, so they reflect what the developer has published right now. APK results are parsed directly from the file you upload.

No. An uploaded APK is analyzed for that single request and deleted immediately afterward. It is not stored, shared or kept for later.

No. It never touches a device. It reads an app's public Play Store listing or a file you choose to upload, and nothing is installed or run.

No. App Checker reports what an app declares: the permissions it can request, whether it shows ads, its age rating. That is useful evidence, but it is not a review, an endorsement or a safety guarantee, and a permission shows what an app can ask for, not what it does with it.

App Checker is a standalone lookup tool and does not require the Paxio app. Paxio is a separate parental control app for Android that sets screen time limits, blocks apps and filters content on a child's own device.

It is built by the team behind Paxio. Write to support@paxio.in with anything that looks wrong and, if you can, the app name or package ID.
