Abstract

Systems and methods here include computer-implemented methods for determining ratings for software including displaying multiple content descriptors and options for user selection of both the frequency and intensity of the content in the software program by non-numerical selections. Some embodiments include receiving selections of user characterizations of frequency and intensity for each of the multiple content descriptors, and mapping the user characterization selections of each of the multiple content descriptors to find a rating level for each of the multiple content descriptors. Some embodiments include determining a highest rating level for the software program by comparing all of the rating levels of all of the multiple content descriptors, and distributing the software program to certain geographies based on the determined highest rating level for the software program.
