Kinzoo Messenger

What it is
Kinzoo Messenger is a mobile messaging app designed for use by children. It’s available for mobile devices using the Apple, Google and Amazon app stores. The Terms of Use require parents to agree to the terms on behalf of their child. They do not specify a minimum age but Google Play Store suggests the app is suitable for ages 3 and up.

How it works

It is not possible to search for friends on the app; users must know their Magic Code or handle (username). Invitations can be shared via other apps. 

Users send messages and make voice or video calls. This includes Jams (audio calls), Open Jams (group audio calls), and eight minute video Blips. Paths offer themed content like videos and games, including an AI Explained Path. Some marketplace items such as stickers, face filters, wallpapers and mini-games require Zoonies (in-app currency) or a subscription. Digital rewards are earned by inviting others. 

Kinzoo features Kai, an AI tool for creating stickers or pictures. Children use pre-written prompts or buy Zoonies for custom ideas. Prompts are automatically checked for inappropriate language before being shared. Children can share their Kai creations with friends on the app.

Parental controls or safety settings available
Kinzoo parental controls allow parents to create child accounts with limited functions. Using a PIN-protected account, parents can:

Monitor when their child is online or typing

Change PIN codes and birthdates

Manage invitations, calls, and access to new Paths

Open Jams may include strangers if a contact invites the child. Parents receive weekly summaries of Kai usage and can review all generated images.
