Ratings are good but the ones I’ve seen so far go a little far IMO. I downloaded an app that shows only a TV guide, but because *some* of the advertisements are for movies and *some* of those advertisements contain movie trailers, and *some* of those trailers might be for adults (we are talking one in a million kind of probabilities here at this point), it was rated 17+ as if it was the worst pornography available.

I also question the lack of any filter *above* 17+. Does this mean that anything more than just a boob or a bum is going to be disallowed completely? What’s the point of ratings if content is still going to be barred?

I think the new ratings are a good thing, people. Use OF them might get a little cockeyed.

I was warned about "objectionable content" in Shazam, people. App Store stupidity marches on, if not quite as bad. I don't think Shazam output is any more offensive than its input for users of any age.

Quick FYI:

When app developers login to iTunes connect, they are now prompted to rate (if not already done so) their existing applications – this is how the ratings are set.
