Check a book, movie, show, game, or curriculum and see language, violence, sexual content, and spiritual concerns before your kids do. Point your phone at the cover and tap Check it. About a minute later you get a plain breakdown: where it lands on worldview, the themes running through it, what is actually in it, and a suggested age range. · Thematic lean analysis — the worldview messaging embedded in the content · Full content breakdown — language, violence, sexual content, occult themes, and more · Spiritual concern rating — flags dark spiritual content independent of political lean · Worldview axes — six dimensions including family structure, moral framework, and view of faith · First Look summary — a plain-language verdict for busy parents · Age recommendation — honest guidance on who this content is appropriate for · Redemption arc score — does the story treat sin and consequences seriously? You still make the call for your family. You just get to make it with the book already read. KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE Faith content is measured against historic Christianity. When a book, show, or channel comes from the Latter-day Saints, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, or another group that uses Christian language, the report names it plainly, so a warm-sounding devotional is never mistaken for something it isn't. BUILT FOR HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES Media Checker includes dedicated curriculum analysis. Check Sonlight, Abeka, Veritas Press, Classical Conversations, and hundreds of other curriculum resources to see publisher philosophy, ease of use, strengths, weaknesses, and worldview summary — everything you need before making a curriculum purchase. HONEST AND NUANCED We don't just flag content — we explain it. Every content category rated above "none" includes a specific explanation of what drove that rating. Thematic lean is scored separately from content concerns, because a book can be politically conservative but spiritually troubling, or politically neutral but beautifully redemptive. SAVE AND TRACK · My List — save books, movies, shows, games, and curriculum to check later, and filter by type · History — every check you've run, searchable and filterable · Export — download your history as CSV or any report as a PDF · Family sharing — share your subscription with up to 5 profiles WHAT IT COSTS Your first 7 days are free: unlimited checks and every feature, no card required. After that, checking needs a subscription: $9.99/month or $99.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. We map thematic lean — not quality.

I used it before hand to be aware for possible themes or ideas that could cause spiritual misguidance. It also gave me some thoughts to think about before reading and allowed me to ponder on them as I read. I’d recommend to anyone who wants to be cautious about the information they are taking in or want an insight into a book to help them better digest themes and concepts before reading. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! We strive to help parents as much as possible protect their families. ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2026-07-21, version 1.3.0* I have shared it across multiple platforms!! Highly recommend! Would love to get some pro features for sharing 🤞🏻 **Developer response:** Hey Jinx, Thank you, that means a lot. Sharing already exists on the Analyst plan: family sharing for up to 5 profiles, plus PDF and CSV export if you want to hand a report to someone. If that is not the kind of sharing you meant, email me at hello@slantscanner.com and tell me what you had in mind — requests like yours are how this gets built. All glory to Christ, Mike Rogers, Founder of Slant Scanner ### 1/5 — Love the concept, weak execution *2026-05-14, version 1.0* Concept is great but it's asking me to login to access content, but I am already logged in. It's glitching and I can't see any place to access "help" . --- Finally logged in and it will not successfully look up any book, movie, just continues "scanning" **Developer response:** Tiffany — you were right on both counts, and both are now fixed. The login loop was a real bug: the app could hand you a session our server did not yet recognize, so it bounced you back to the login screen seconds after you had signed in. The scans that never finished were a separate problem on our end, and that one is fixed too. Scans now complete in about 30 to 60 seconds. Help is at hello@slantscanner.com, which was also far too hard to find when you wrote this. Thank you for describing it in enough detail that we could track both down. If you ever give it another try, I would genuinely like to know what you think. Mike Rogers, Founder ### 5/5 — Prescreen content for yourself and your kids *2026-05-11, version 1.0* Do yourself a favor and download SlantScanner now! It has helped me so much already in deciding if books are safe for my kids! My daughter is a big reader but with her reading chapter books now I can’t read multiple chapter books a week to make sure the content is appropriate. This makes it so simple to decide if it’s on the approved list for our kids. It’s also saved us so much time deciding on movies and shows for family night or date night for my husband and I. Now we don’t watch part of a movie or a few episodes of a show and decide it isn’t for us. 🎉 **Developer response:** Thank you — the chapter-book problem is exactly the one I built this for. Once a kid reads faster than you can pre-read, the old approach just stops working. Mike Rogers, Founder ## Frequently asked questions about Media Checker ### What content does Media Checker analyze?
