Is Nomi safe for kids and teens?

Nomi says it is for adults only (18+), so it is not intended for children or teens.

It permits adult (explicit) content for adult users.

Users self-declare their age at sign-up and the terms reserve the right to add age verification and suspend suspected under-18 accounts; no parental controls or teen mode were found.

What you can do

Use device-level controls. On iPhone and iPad, Apple Screen Time can require approval for downloads, set age limits on apps and cap time per app. On Android, Google Family Link lets you approve apps and set daily limits.
Check the browser too. Nomi has a web version, so app-store limits alone won’t cover it.
Lock down payments. Require approval for purchases so subscriptions can’t be bought on impulse.
Keep talking. Ask what they like about it and whether it ever says things that feel strange. Curious conversations do more than any single setting.
