User reviews

Why

These articles don’t really help anyone, and its attempt to convince parents to use some apps, and ensure that Roblox is ok, is blasphemy. As a parent, you should, at most, be flexible enough to let your child play some more immersive, interesting games, instead of encouraging them to allow their child to play league of legends, possibly the most toxic community I’ve been on.

So yeah, this app bad and limited.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. The articles simply provide information about the app or game so that parents are able to make a decision as to whether the app is right or not for their family. Where possible, we have included recommendations (including what apps to avoid) from cyber safety experts. In no way have we endorsed any games or apps.

Great search function in the app.

Evidenced based and easy to use

This app is so easy to use. I like to scroll through the browse tab. It’s looks really nice and is easy to get to the tabs I want. I found the article on Facebook Messenger Kids really interesting and informative.
