| In several weeks, a new family-focused experience on Google Play will give |
| users new ways to browse, search, and discover high quality apps and games |
| for their families. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To support a more family-friendly store, developers are invited to opt-in |
| family-focused apps and games to the new Designed for Families program. Apps |
| that meet the <a href= |
| "https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6184502">program |
| requirements</a> will be shown in the new family experience so that |
| parents can find suitable, trusted, high-quality apps and games more easily. |
| </p> |

| Opt-in your apps and games today using the tools and processes you currently |
| use to manage your apps in the Developer Console. Your apps in the program |
| can benefit from enhanced discoverability in addition to maintaining their |
| existing categories, rankings, and reviews elsewhere on the Google Play |
| store. |

| Apps in the family-friendly experience on Google Play will be more |
| discoverable by parents and families, who expect the apps to be age |
| appropriate. The Designed for Families program is designed to be inclusive of |
| apps that are made for kids as well as those that can be enjoyed by the |
| entire family. To address this audience, there are specific guidelines and |
| policies your apps need to meet, which will be assessed in an app content |
| review. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Make sure that you're familiar with the policies that your app must comply |
| with. These include <a href= |
| "http://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html">content |
| policies</a>, the <a href= |
| "http://play.google.com/about/developer-distribution-agreement.html">Developer |
| Distribution Agreement</a>, and the <a href= |
| "https://play.google.com/intl/ALL_us/about/families/developer-distribution-agreement-addendum.html"> |
| Designed for Families DDA Addendum</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Your app must also meet the <a href= |
| "https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6184502">Designed |
| for Families program requirements</a> listed in the Google Play Developer |
| Help Center. |
