Red Rover

Is Red Rover OK for my kid?

Find your child's age. Each row reads Red Rover's own terms (quoted above), the ages it suits and the account it needs. An age rule is the least a maker asks, not a judgement that it suits a child of that age. Check another app.

8 things to know before your child uses Red Rover

1. Check the age rule first. The website terms say you must be at least 16 to use the website; platform use is governed by separate agreements with each district.
2. Know what it costs. Through schools. Sold to districts; no prices published, request a demo (Nov 2026).
3. See whose account it is. A school account.
4. No ads or purchases. Red Rover shows no ads and sells nothing inside it, so there is nothing for a child to tap by mistake.
5. Read what it does with data. The privacy policy (updated June 29, 2026) says it does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. It collects names, contact details, SMS preferences and usage data, and shares data with providers such as Google Analytics, Firebase, HubSpot and Zendesk. It does not mention student records.
6. Know where the AI is. The pages we read do not mention AI.
7. Watch for the main catch. No prices published.
8. Start with what it does well. Covers absences, substitutes, time and hiring in one place.
