Kinzoo Messenger for Families

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Kinzoo Messenger for Families is messaging tool that allows families and friends to stay in touch in a tightly controlled environment. Parents must start the account using their email and birth year and then must approve (via email) each child they want to add. Kids and families each have a "magic code" which allows other friends and family to directly connect with one another. Even these require parental approval before being finalized. Adults can also send invites via email and text. Each user has their own pin to access their account, but adults have full control over those as well. There are in-app purchases for things like sticker packs, although there are also free versions available. Kids can't purchase additional packs, but theycan see them and will be prompted to "ask a parent" to purchase. 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.
