I just wanted to add on more to your thoughts: when I play piano with sheet music, I "chunk" as you mention, but I also look ahead anywhere from like one measure to an entire page to refresh my memory and see what I need to play next, and/o

The only way the app would have been age limited for viewing and downloading was if the app was rated accordingly and parental controls were active. Otherwise anyone can see them, logged in or not, on the storefront (of all places!) in on

Apple first disapproved of adult content. Then they added rather draconian ratings for apps and of course, parental controls. Then borderline-adult content started being really popular on the store. If Apple really really really didn't want
