• Has my 3 YEAR OLD! surfing the Net (and safely!)

  sparkflashJune 5, 2009

  Pros

  Completely visual interface for non-readers.

  Cons

  Can't wait for the Mac version !

  Summary

  I was a bit sceptical if our 3 year old daughter would be able to use this, but it passed with flying colors. Navigation is all visual, so there's no trouble if your child can't read - and a lot of the included websites are also friendly for non-readers. Plan on spending about 20 minutes showing your child the basics, and watch things take off from there. Includes lots of sites that teach reading, counting, colors, and problem solving. I also believe using the mouse helps youngsters build hand-eye coordination!

• Clever navigation makes this browser "game-like"

  hotchickensoupJune 21, 2008

  Pros

  Not sure if this is a pro or con, but this browser is so fun and easy for our 5-year old that she is becoming addicted to the Internet. The fact that this software is free (and no subscriptions) is nice for a change!! But hey, it's summertime - be sure to send your kids out to play too! ;)

  Cons

  If the next version could have a timer for parents limit their kid's time on the computer, that would be great!

• Fantastic,Safe, Child Friendly must have program!

  BillK1958June 20, 2008

  Pros

  Very easy to set-up as a parent. Easy to navigate for children. Our child spends hours surfing the browser secure and safe from the dangers that we all know exist out there on the web.

  Cons

  It would be good if the program could not be closed by the child without maybe a password entered by an adult. Like anything else, parental over-site is always recommended.

• Good Idea but SLOW!

  churchJanuary 22, 2008

  Pros

  I downloaded this with anticipation because such a browser is needed for kids. Since my niece plays on my laptop all the time, I downloaded this and set it up, liking the sites I can add which can only be accesses by the kids, nothing else...

  Cons

  Slow as heck. The kids will die of bordem, waiting for the thing and sites to download. And I noticed when I went to one of the websites through this browser, that the site didn't even work. IN addition, I'm not a big fan of the added sites being viewed as rotating blocks. Seems difficult. Guess I'll keep looking...<p>MonthsForever.Blogspot.com

• The built-in camera sets it apart !

  3pupsJanuary 21, 2008

  Pros

  After reading some reviews, I gave this browser a try. All of the reviews failed to mention the built-in camera - which turns out to be THE COOLEST feature of this software. If your kids are like mine, they love to play with cameras. This browser can slide a virtual camera on top of any Web page to let your kids take pictures of their favorite characters. It even zooms in and out !

  Cons

  Only two themes to choose from, but the software says there are more themes coming soon.

• LOVE IT...Makes life SOOO Much Easier !! A+++

  JustinKayzeJanuary 21, 2008

  Pros

  Easy to use, Safe, Fun, Colorful, and Secure. This web browser is great for the young ones who you only want on sites such as Disney, Cartoon network, Noggin, Nick JR, and similar age appropriate web sites, there are about 40 to choose from so there is good diversity of sites, (Nat Geo kids, a Zoo site, "how things work" and some sites to help with reading and such too. No address bar so NO way they can get anywhere else and Browser CANNOT be minimized by kids (or you), so check your mail first.

  Cons

  Only downsides i wouldn't even change, the only one is fact that you cant minimize the browser, would be nice if you could with a password, but i sitll like that the kids cant minimize it and get into computer files!! Only other thing is that you cant add sites like "myEpet.com" wich isn't on there :( but there are Lots of others to choose from, but we all know how kids are when they have a specific toy they wanna play with, 100,000,000,040 sites wont please them if the one they want isn't there LOL.....but this program is GREEEEEAAAT and worth a shot!!
