Two Types of Companion

Carer Companions
Each Kitcal® device has a ‘carer’ who acts as administrator (usually the person that has purchased the device). If you are the carer companion, this app will allow you to customise the Kitcal® tablet including calendar events, requesting ‘check-ins’ and inviting others to connect. 

Social Companions
‘Social companions’ are any friends and family outside of the main administrator. If you are a social companion this app enables you to share photos, videos and messages with Kitcal® and receive emoji or pre-set text replies.

Multilingual Support
Kitcal® is available in English, Te Reo, Samoan, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
