Kidoz App

What is Kidoz

At the time of this Kidoz review the app positions itself as a child-friendly self-contained operating system so that children can browse safely and parents can control the media that their kids consume. 

Why is Kidoz great for kids?

• Handpicked videos for babies & preschoolers, updated daily.
• Learning & educational games for kids (Up to 12)
• Safe Browser
• Child lock (Kids launcher)
• Parental control over content and device functions.
• Child-friendly camera and photo gallery
• No in-app purchase for kids!
• Multiple child accounts
• Ad blocker

Is Kidoz app easy to use?

Yes, Kidoz app is easy to use! Once downloaded it can serve as a completely separate user interface on a phone, tablet or Windows operating system. Parents/teachers can set limits and customise content. The first step is to register as an “adult” and then create a child account (there is an unlimited amount of kid accounts that you can create).  The adult password means that you can set the content and can turn your own device into a child-friendly device.  If you want to purchase content, you will need to enter the password so all the content will be adult approved. All the content that Kido’z links to has already been approved by the team therefore, although it takes you to external websites to download things (perhaps a grey area, depending on your own philosophy with regards to shopping and purchasing apps) – you can rest assured that it is all child-friendly and not far from the child media that kids can find on TV.

What languages is Kidoz app available? 

The app is available in 20 languages: English, German, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Croatian, Danish,  Finnish, French, Hebrew, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Turkish.

You can make Kido’z the default desktop. We really liked the fact that it recognises and selects the content that is already on your phone so that if you have educational apps already, it manages to keep them and show them on the desktop too. All the messaging, calling and social media links are taken away.  There is also a special Kido’s browser so that browsing is also safeguarded.

There are many games and videos set within the ready-made content of the app. If you would like to disable these in order to focus on more educational or edutainment games, there is a toggle which lets you customise this too.

This is a great find of an app, parents need to know that this is available to them as it gives back some control on the consumption of media for children. We have given the app an EAS Certification of 5 Stars and EAS Recommended Status.

How much does Kidoz app cost?

Kidoz games is free to download, and all the content for kids is accessible with a free account.  A paid upgrade is offered to parents who seek greater controls of their kids time and security (set time limit or child lock)

The great thing about this app is that if you are a parent/teacher and you exercise a high-degree of control over the type of content that the kids consume, this is perfect.

Is the Kidoz app safe?

Yes, Kidoz is safe to use.
