Bolt Browser and Documents

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Bolt Browser and Documents is a productivity app that functions as a browser and offers Touch and Face ID for added privacy and security. Kids can navigate multiple webpages at a time through multiple tabsand save files and documents -- including PDFs, Docs, and ZIP files -- for offline access and editing. Kids will also be able to download videos, photos, music, and other media. All downloads can be organized into custom folders, which can be helpful for kids with limited data or broadband access. However, the private browser can also be used to bypass network specific web filters. For example, kids can use the app to access websites commonly restricted by school networks, such as YouTube or sites flagged for inappropriate content. So, while this app can be a useful tool to organize content for offline use, it can also be used to get around parental controls and filters, which makes it best for older teens. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
