About this app

Kinzoo is more than a messenger—it's where memories are made. Kids, parents and extended family come together on this single private platform—sharing experiences that wouldn't otherwise exist. This is a trusted introduction to technology that eases the screen time struggle by giving kids a constructive, skill-building outlet to connect, create and cultivate passions. And, it's a way for kids to deepen social relationships with friends, preparing them to respect others, think critically and be good digital citizens when they grow up.

This all-in-one chat app is designed for ages 6+ and enables you to safely make video calls, exchange pictures, text messages and videos with chosen family and friends—all without the need for a phone number.

SCREEN TIME WELL SPENT
Every feature in Kinzoo is designed to promote our Three C's: connection, creativity and cultivation. This ensures that screen time is engaging, productive and enriching for kids and families. Check out the latest interactive stories and activities in the Paths Center and buy in-chat mini games, photo and video filters and sticker packs in the Marketplace to make messaging even more engaging and fun.

BUILT FOR SAFETY
We believe kids should be able to experience the best of technology—without exposure to the worst of it. That's why we built Kinzoo from the ground up for kids and their parents, prioritizing safety, privacy and peace of mind.

HEALTHY TECHNOLOGY
Kinzoo is free from manipulative features and persuasive design. There are no "likes," no followers, and no targeted ads. It’s a safer space online that puts you—and your whole family—back in control of your digital identities.

Ratings and reviews

Started off pretty good but within days it started saying it needed permissions that were already granted now I can't use it for Video calls at all on my Verizon phn with a plan but it does work on a burner phone that I have with no minutes, don't really get what the issue is. Update: I emailed the developer and within 24 hours got a helpful response. Now app works with no problems. I did have to allow all permissions though. I guess that's the price of free. What's a right to privacy anyway?

I really like this app. The only issue I've seen is the inconsistency of the video calling. To be fair, it could be the devices my daughter's have, but sometimes there will be no audio for video calls. However, the main use for this app is text messages in my family. The texts always work and I enjoy being able to text my daughter's without having to buy them a phone quite yet. Thank you for this app. I love how secure it is in letting me manage who can be on my kids' contact list.

Communicate as a family with out annoying, disrespectful ads. So many positives... Although it's definitely kid safe, it can be used by older kids too. Even if you have kids in their 20's and you want to connect without getting on Snapchat or the like. Layout is easy on the eyes, colorful, simple but also has a lot of different cool options. You can text, customize emojis and stickers, send gifs, share drawings and play games too. Easy to use and navigate everything. Actually pretty fun ! ☺️

What's new

A few things just got better:

- Our community told us that group calling would be a great addition to Kinzoo Messenger. So, we launched an entirely new group calling experience: Jams! The audio calls include custom effects and reactions. And, you can Jam while using other apps, so it’s perfect for kids to use while gaming together!
