Messenger Kids - A Free Messaging App For Conscientious Parents

It's easy to panic about the open nature of the internet as a parent. But for all it's flaws and apparent dangers, the web is incredible and the ease of communication it brings isn't something any parent wants to shut their child of from. The Messenger Kids app aims to give parents a degree of control over how their children use internet messaging, without being overly restrictive.

What's to Know About Messenger Kids?

Messenger Kids is a free app that looks and operates like any messaging app you might be familiar with. It's got a colourful and friendly design that appeals to the younger crowd, but it has settings and safeguards that a parent can use to make sure their child is talking to who they should be and not to who they shouldn't.

Does it Work?

No single method of keeping your children safe is going to be fool proof. Messenger Kids does as much right as anything else you will find on the market though. There's no way of hiding messages, there's very tight controls on who can message the user. It gives enough control that any parent would feel happy to let their child use it. And the major positive, it feels legitimate for the children to use as well.

PROS

  • Safety options are extensive
  • Visual design is fantastic

CONS

  • Takes time to set up properly
  • Requires a lot of attention from parents
