Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Kids Safe Search is a web browser built for children aged 4–15 — and for the parents who want peace of mind… No ads. No sign-in. No personal data sent to the cloud. ★ Safe by design — Safe Search always on, adult/gambling/drug filtering, Google Safe Browsing, downloads off, friendly blocked page. ★ Parents in control — PIN/biometric Parent Dashboard, Standard vs Strict mode, allow/block lists, locked Kids Mode. ★ Screen time & bedtime — daily limits, break reminders, bedtime lock. ★ Learn & Explore — Khan Academy, NASA, PBS Kids, Nat Geo Kids, Britannica, Wikipedia + topic searches. ★ Private & family-respectful — no ads to kids, no login, history/bookmarks on-device only, no name/email/location collected. Kids safe search app has a few of the top and popular Safe Search engines. You can select any search engine and search for materials with the peace of mind of not getting any adult results. We are always looking for new and better search engines to add to the app. We also have a bookmark option, so that you can bookmark any link that you get to after searching. For now only top 10 bookmarks show, but in future releases we will add more. In the future we will add an option to set the default search engine of your choice, so that you will always search in the engine that suits you. In addition, our App does not take up much storage space on your device and only requires a connection to the internet to fully function. Please note that Safe Search cannot guarantee it will remove 100% all adult websites and images but it certainly does help. Will be adding history list for users to see what has been searched on the app.
