Age Limit on OmeTV – Followed or Ignored?

Other Problems
There are certain features in the app that are problematic. It has a spy mode, using which a third person can listen in a private chat.
As it is anonymous, it can bring out the worst in people. Moreover, there are only a few dozen moderators checking the content. They are not enough to detect whether huge traffic of 10 million is safe.
Trustpilot Reviews
Many people on Trustpilot have complained that they got banned because of other’s actions. Also, to unban you, they ask for donations. This shows the shady nature of the company.
Conclusion
Google Play and the App Store should screen such apps. They shouldn’t allow apps that do not validate the age properly and are without parental control to be added on their platforms.
