Why is a code review app rated as 17+?

Basically because you can access external web content. Either that or maybe I clicked the wrong box somewhere, but I'm pretty sure all apps that let you browse the web get the 17+

Interesting. It looks like "Unrestricted Web Access" is what causes it. Chrome is in the same boat, but for some reason Facebook and Twitter don't have the same requirements even though they allow access to web content via links.

I'm not sure if this would work for your app, but maybe you could restrict access to just github.com? I'd also second a video or something more insightful on the landing page of the app's website.
