"Good concept, but not good enough"
Pros: Free. Has some neat activities for kids.
Cons: It can't be changed. Some websites don't even work. No flash plug-in which is required for most kids sites. Have to set a password ever time. Cannot add new web sites. Does not allow access to other installed programs like games.
Summary: This software is free and you get what you pay for. I ended up downloading Kid Savvy PC which isn't free, but it works like a champ and lets the parent add/remove links, add access to other programs, etc. read more

Version: KidRocket KidSafe Web Browser for Kids 1.5.0.2
Pros: It's free, but limited.
Cons: You are not able to add websites or add access to other programs installed on the computer. When it's locked out, it doesn't stop the windows key from working. It's plug-ins are set. Most kid website require flash but kid rocket isn't updatable.
Summary: It's free but very limited. I would go with another program, even if it cost a few dollars. Kid Savvy PC is what I now use and It does the job. read more

"Looks safe, but can't receive e-mail"
Pros: I like that it is a self-contained browsing environment. It has a timer that allows a parent to set an amount of time their child can browse or play games.
Cons: It is set up to do outgoing email only - you have to provide a reply-to address and all incoming mail comes to that address, and is not viewable within the KidRocket browser. So email conversations can't happen within the Kidrocket environment.
Summary: Another thing you can't do is add additional web pages to the trusted sites. There are about 10 sites that they have "approved" for kids, with tons of kid-safe content, but that is a miniscule slice of what is actually available. I think the develope... read more
