AS FEATURED IN

CONTENT MATTERS


What children play is what they become.

TAK Index evaluates what children absorb from your game — cognitively, ethically, and emotionally. We measure the impact of your app through six carefully designed dimensions that reflect what truly matters to families, educators, and child development experts.

Ethical Aspects

We examine whether the app promotes fairness, empathy, diversity, and environmental or social responsibility in its content.

Cognitive Abilities

We assess how the app supports attention, memory, reasoning, and language development through active engagement and challenge.

Violence Levels

We analyze how the app handles conflict, and whether it includes or normalizes violence, fear, or emotional distress.

Game Interactivity

We evaluate whether the game is age-appropriate, emotionally engaging, and easy to navigate across languages and cultures.

Game Design

We assess technical stability, accessibility, performance across devices, and the clarity of visual and interaction design.

Personality Traits

We look for experiences that support patience, creativity, cooperation, perseverance, and other positive personality traits in children.

Evaluation Process


A clear, expert-led evaluation — designed to support, not judge.

TAK Index offers a transparent, research-based evaluation process designed specifically for children’s mobile apps. Instead of relying on algorithms, we work with real experts — professionals in child development, digital ethics, and educational design — to assess your app across key developmental and ethical dimensions.

TAK INDEX REVIEWER SPECIALISTS

We are very selective with our reviewers. We believe choosing the right reviewers is going to give us a more reliable index for each game. With this in mind, each game is assessed by at least five reviewers. Therefore, we are always looking for more reviewers from different countries, cultures, genders and ages.
