How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games. (lemmy.nz)

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

The Play Store has a section for kids, which seems to have better quality apps and games. Also thinking to subscribe to Play Pass so she can try out paid games.

Any other tips? Especially how to find good free / paid games. I don't mind paying for good games.

Also I'm aware I can block ads using eg Pi Hole (already doing that) or sometimes putting it on airplane mode, but that's not my point. I want to find and support quality games.

Thanks, I already have set up pi hole. See the last paragraph in my post as well.

My bad. I did miss that final paragraph but hopefully the private DNS can help someone else. Cheers!

It helped me a lot! I already knew about adguard but didn't know how to set it up. You explained it in such simple words, bravo
