Hello
How do I report an app for advertising Alcohol to 4 year olds?
Apple have allowed an app to advertise alcoholic brands to 4 year olds - the app is Top Quiz by Top Free Games.
Questions relate to brands including alcoholic brands.There are considerable regulations in place for the promotion of Alcohol to Minors in the UK.
iPad, iOS 8.1.2
As far as I know, all you can do is send feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/
In addition to the feedback about this particular game, please send another feedback about the inability to report things like this. Scams and other types of illegal apps are quite common and it is very difficult to report them.
Thanks for this - appreciated.
It seems remiss that Apple do not have a facility to report inappropriate content - through a simple procedure. The social networks are adopting this so why is Apple different?

Apple trademarked that phrase - literally. 🙂
I wouldn't put it past them!
Maybe if they took as much care of protecting children from alcohol advertising their time would be better spent.
Iwoot,
You do have the option to write a review. It will be displayed on the page in the App Store, to help other consumers make informed decisions.
Frankly, I am a little skeptical of your claims. Theapp does not appear to target young kids. And "questions about brands" in the context of a quiz does not equate to "advertising alcohol," although admittedly I do not know the details of the UK regulations to which you refer. But my opinion does not matter. Feel free to write a review.
I shall be doing that along with an attempt to contact Apple.
The app is a quiz - a series of questions and even the app store images show questions to which the answers include a number of Alcoholic brands. This type of content is both unacceptable - targeting minors under the legal age for consuming alcohol.
Update
Apple support are now handling my complaint and are, I am advised, reviewing the app because it contains inappropriate content.
