- Remember that when allowing a child to play any app or game via an iPad, it is best to turn off in app purchases to avoid bills later. Games that may be cheap and a great game often are a huge let down when getting the Apple bill that includes all the in app purchases a child may have made, unintentionally. Most every app on the market will allow for in app purchases to be turned off.
