A browser made for children with some great features.
The safety of children online should be pursued by every parent. A healthy balance of personal interaction, games and internet is fine. It is when it becomes out of control with the parents that the children are online all the time without so much as sitting down as a family any longer. This is when it becomes a problem.
KidRocket is a browser specifically designed for children. It has many features and options to play with. The websites are built into the web browser; they can not choose where to browse. Which means you would need to remove the other browser from the computer, or keep an eye on the computer that the other browsers are not being used at the same time secretly. The browser is very colorful as you can see from the pictures, and very bold and easy to read.

They can choose the site they want to visit at the top of the browser in picture format, very similar to the browser called Flock, same idea. The sites chosen are child friendly such as Disney, Hot Wheels, and a variety of other sites. They can not visit any other site then the ones listed.

The other feature I thought that was very beautiful was the art button. It leads you to starbrite, where the child can choose the color of the peg and decorate the board. It reminded me of my childhood of using the starbrite with the patterns attached to the board.

The math feature is an excellent tool for growth and learning. They click on the type of math questions they will ask, such as adding, subtraction and division. Then the browser generates the question that they need to fill in with an answer.

The read button has not been finished yet, it says coming soon.
The email feature I am trying very hard to understand. On the community board it says it is more like an ecard. You can choose which emails are accessible to the browser. I have yet to find a tutorial on how to use this email feature, other then the board question I located. The designer said it is more for an ecard however I am trying to figure out how to send it to the browser. Once I find out more about this feature, I will add it to this article.

I really enjoyed the experience of this browser, and know many safe minded parents will enjoy the use of it.
