Approve purchase for child on PC or web

Is it really not possible to approve my child's App Store requests via email, web or PC? Do I have to use an apple device to be able to do this simple task?


(Or should we return the ipads and go with an Android tablet instead?)

Hello Tomtom7912,


A compatible Apple device is required in order to approve a request via the Ask to Buy feature:


If you're the family organizer, use your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, or Mac to approve or decline a request.


This resource has more details on that feature: Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support


If you have a moment, you can provide more details on your recommendations or suggestions using the following link: Feedback - iPad - Apple


Take care.
