Kids say that the app is entertaining and educational, aimed at a younger audience with many options for learning about guns and their operation, while mixed opinions arise about age appropriateness and ratings. Many users believe it should not be rated as 18+, arguing it is suitable for kids aged 9 and up, and can serve as a harmless game focused on gun mechanics rather than violence.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 6 ):
Kids say ( 12 ):

For when pointing a finger isn't enough, iGun Pro can transform the iPhone into 13 different real-life semi and fully automatic weapons. For the best effect point the phone and flick wrist to fire. Vibration, smoke curling from the barrel, and the sound of empty shells tinkling to the ground add an extra shot of realism. The gunfire could be more realistic for the particular weapon, and we did not experience the promised recoil, but the app's good enough that we jumped at an accidental round.

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
