Free to play is a valid option. If there are ads in that you can stop with an in-app purchase then that is suitable for some. Buy extra car parts might appeal to some but there should be a cap on the total spend.

I was playing a cute Panda related game recently. After about 2 minutes it was asking for cash already. I estimated it would cost over 9000 and stopped playing. One thing it made me very aware of - switch off one-click payments if you ever lend your phone to a bored kid!!

There needs to be an option on the stores that allows parents, via parental controls, to block games that have in app purchases.

Yes but kids can change that option and the bills start. It needs to be locked down away from the device as a security measure with a cap on spend.

It's pin-locked on mine. I won't be giving any kids the code.
