KidzInMind App Review – Managing children’s safety online

May 21, 2016

Do you worry about what apps your children have access too online? Then KidzInMind is for you! Available to download on iOS and Android, KidzInMind offers parents peace of mind by allowing their children children access to age appropriate and approved apps with no adverts or hidden payments and parental device control tools.

In today’s world children are increasingly becoming experts in using tablets and mobile phones to play games, watch videos and chat with their friends. Ensuring that your child is safe whilst using these devices can often be tricky for parents. The KidzInMind app has been developed by parents for parents and offers a guarantee that any app selected through KidzInMind is free from advertising, hidden payments and created for educational purposes.

Why use KidzInMind?

  • AN ‘APP OF APPS’ – Every app within the KidzInMind has been selected and approved to meet strict criteria.
  • SAFE AND SECURE – No inappropriate language, no advertising, no hidden payments and a baby safe mode.
  • EDUCATIONAL – All apps have been evaluated to ensure that they are engaging, educational and appropriate to the child’s stage of learning. 
  • TIME ALERT PLAY – Relax in the knowledge that your child is learning within a safe and secure environment. Control the amount of play time your child is allowed with the parental control timer.
  • RESTRICT ACTIVITY – Use the parental control feature to specify exactly what your kids can do whilst using the KidzInMind e.g. no internet or other app access.
  • APPROVED BY PARENTS – KidzInMind has received the kidSAFE Seal, Mom’s Choice Award and was nominated Best Mobile App for Children and Toddlers in 2014
The app is aimed at preschool kids aged 2-6 years old. I really like the time alert play feature as it allows me to dictate how long my children can play on the app. 
 
KidzInMind is an ‘app of apps’, unlocking over £50 worth of educational games and apps that can be played by children on smartphones and tablets. Each app is evaluated fully before it is featured, ensuring its content is educational. It means kids can have fun and learn at the same time. The combination of educational and fun material makes KidzInMind irresistible to both kids and parents alike. The types of apps include nutritional, (in collaboration with Parma University), handwriting, brushing your teeth correctly and much more.
 
More and more apps are added each, but there’s already a selection of over 40 apps to choose from. Plus, it’s not just an app!  The KidzInMind blog, the Facebook page, the Twitter profile and the YouTube channel offer parents access to a wealth of information about different services or products for their children and discussions with other mums and dads.
 
KidzInMind is available to download on Android from Google Play and iOS from the App Store. The app is subscription-based and after the first week, which is free, KidzInMind is priced a 79p per month for limited in-built apps and features. Parents can pay £2.99 per month for unlimited access to the full app, video and game catalogue and all the parental safety controls.

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.

    This looks really good and doesn't cost silly money either which is a bonus. It would be great for both of mine #TriedTested
