Best app it could possibly be

I wish every app with features controlling who can access my kids and what my kids can access worked so seamlessly and intuitively… like my kids’ school laptops for one thing. Tin Can has thought of everything. I’m hoping to buy 4 for Christmas presents for cousins!

Killer kids phone

We got this for our kids last Christmas, and while there were some problems those first few days, tin can was communicating with us the whole time. And after they fixed that problem we have had zero problems since. We love tin can!!

Be a 90s kid

The Tin Can has been a wonderful communication device for my children amongst their peer group. They have independently learned to memorize phone numbers, use phone etiquette when answering calls and leave voicemails with confidence. This is their way of connecting without, “hey mom can you call so and so,” and I LOVE that it doesn’t involve a screen. Thank you for bringing such a gem back to life.
