App/Tech business of the week - KodaChat

What? ~ KodaChat is a supervised chat application that makes social media safer for children. Parents can decide who can connect and communicate with their children, block inappropriate language, pre-approve images and links, schedule blockout time and review conversations. Parents can use the app to help prepare children for their digital life.

Where? ~ The basic KodaChat app can be downloaded for free from the iTunes and Google Play Stores. It has some in-app purchases for premium services.

Quotations? ~ We wanted to create a social media application that included parents in their child’s journey into social media and helped kids be safer when socialising with their friends
