Shelf Checkout documents 25 content categories on its first party feature page. Categories include violence, language, romance, substances, fear, death, grief, and psychological themes. A flag reports presence and intensity. It does not issue a universal age rating.
Families select thresholds for individual readers. The app workflow then combines those settings with a book content profile to produce a reader specific result.
A publisher age range describes the audience for a specific edition. An attributed review rating belongs to the reviewer that issued it. Content notes describe what appears in the text. Recording all three separately prevents an edition band from being presented as Shelf Checkout advice.
The app page shows a summary result and a detailed content view. The detail identifies the categories behind the result instead of asking a parent to rely on the color alone.
A result is tied to settings selected for one reader. Another reader profile can produce a different result for the same book.
The series guide method explains how to compare later volumes. The separate Series Guides library lists the published book specific guides.
