Talking Tom Gold Run

Parents need to know that Talking Tom Gold Run is an endless-runner game in a style similar to Temple Run or Subway Surfers. It's based on the characters from the Talking Tom Cat and Talking Angela apps. While the game itself isn't all that violent, characters do run into moving vehicles and other obstacles and fall down or smash into the screen. Since the goal is to run as long as you can, kids who prefer a winning ending may be frustrated, and the frenetic speed may be too much for some kids. It's also laden with advertising in the form of pop-up videos, voluntary videos to earn in-game currency, and YouTube videos promoting the characters. When starting, the game asks for a birth year, which can't be changed. Players who are age 13 and under are restricted from connecting to social media sites via the app and Game Center, and they're also blocked from seeing interest-based ads. Younger players will still receive age-appropriate advertising via pop-up displays as an option to earn in-game items and currency, though making an in-game purchase will remove pop-up ads. Despite the "age gate," there are no in-app blocks or gates for purchases or downloads. Read the app's privacy policy to find out about the types of information collected and shared.
