Quintura Kids iPhone App review

Description:

Browsing the internet is one of the things that people do every single day.  There are so many things to find online that most people look online before ever making a purchase.  Kids these days are also using the internet more than ever, and as we all know, there are bad things that can be pulled up online without much effort.  Technology is a good thing and can be used in a good way, but now there is a great way to allow kids to search the internet safely, right from your iphone.  The app is called Quintura kids and it is a safe web browser for children to use.

How does it work?  Quintura is different as it does not give your child a URL box.  Instead, they search for terms or words that interest them and that make them want to check it out.  These search terms could be as simple as crocodile, or monkey, and the app will give a large word and give some results.  The results are safe as they don’t contain any pornography or inappropriate content that you don’t want your kids to see.  The app runs the websites through a very stringent filter to ensure that your child is viewing content that is suitable and that matches the search words that they are entering.

Features:

• If you need an internet browser that is kid friendly, this app has got what you need.  Simply tap a word to start surfing or type in the search bar.
• Once you get search results, you also get a tag cloud that gives you some ideas on what to search next time around
• The cloud features the most popular concepts that we pick up from the texts of the sites that are relevant to the search.  this helps you to define the best direction for further searching to refine your search.
• You can also tap a new tag word to make the cloud dynamically change and pull up different search results

This app is a great way not only to educate your child, but to allow them to use your iphone to entertain themselves while being educated on new search topics and information.  This app is a great way to safely let kids surf the web and offers a great outlet to let them safely experience the internet without fear of inappropriate content.

Conclusion:

This app costs $1.99 and has been given a 3 out 5 star rating by other users.
