Is It Any Good?
GUN BUILDER offers a relatively expansive array of parts with which you can create a customized firearm. There are technically lots of ways to mix and match the parts and create unique weapons, but unless you're a gun aficionado, many of the parts won't appear all that different from one another. And the firing range mode is repetitive, growing quickly uninteresting. By allowing players to create "cute" guns (with say, pink or leopard skin coloring) and engraving their names on them, it ignores the dangers inherent in gun possession -- potentially sending the message to naive kids that guns are a toy to play with. This is not an app for kids.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
