Comments on Kid's Shell - Safe Kid Launche for Android
★★★★★
A kids' launcher really should be integrated into Android OS. If you own a Samsung phone, it has built-in Samsung Kids. Otherwise, Kids Shell is the only launcher I know that kids cannot escape as long as you strictly follow the process every time. The process is not very user-friendly, though: 1. Start Kids Shell 2. When it prompts to enable launcher in the settings, go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Home App and select Kids Shell 3. Navigate to Switch Apps and clear all apps

I love it put it on all my phones. Just wish it could sync apps to i don't have to set up all my kids apps again... each time... Or at least a button to DL all the apps they suggest at 1 time or the ones you DLed b4. But overall I love it. Set it up right and if your kids want your phone 1 button sets them up on what you agree for them to use. I like how it can block a popup add in a game or app but not that it resets to shell home after you X out the blocked popup.

My wife and I use this app on all our devices so our 2yr old can safely enjoy them without changing or deleting our settings and apps.
★★☆☆☆
Contact them though email. No response. Don't buy. You can not use on multiple devices unless you pay for each device. I did not know until after I bought. They are not very clear about that, and you can not get a refund though google. App works great if you one child, but I am not spent $10 for each kids' tablet.
★★☆☆☆
My 3-year-old daughter is able to access the play store on this app, even though it's not on her approved apps list, AND she uninstalled this app. I think that shows how secure it is. She's THREE.
★★☆☆☆
I liked this app a lot; I originally gave it five stars and even paid for the pro version on my daughter's tablet. Only after that did I discover the key problem: the in-app purchase of the pro version cannot be shared in any way. So once I got new tablets for my other kids, which use a later version of Android and their own child accounts, they could not use the pro version of Kid's Shell. Even my first purchase was on my own account so when my daughter switches to her kid account she cannot use it. I have 6 kids, and I simply find it ridiculous to pay for this app six times. I emailed the developer and they refused to help. I'd be willing to pay a little more for a family license, but paying for the whole app for each new Google account is just too much.
