About this app

The KidzSearch app is made by the same company that runs KidzSearch.com, which is a safe search tool used and trusted by 1000's of private and public schools, as well as parents at home. KidzSearch results are always Strict Filtered. KidzSearch provides safe web, video, and safe image searching.

All search terms are checked against our proprietary filtering algorithm and database for safety. In addition, websites visited are screened for safety before they can be shown. Users can sign up for an optional free account that lets them add additional websites or keywords they want blocked. YouTube filtering can also be set to standard safe search, YouTube Kids only, or blocked.

Parents and teachers can review the history of all websites visited which cannot be deleted or edited to improve monitoring. Website history can be searched using keywords, or you can just view blocked content.

In addition to safe searching, the KidzSearch app provides many other features students really enjoy using, such as finding safe kid-friendly online music stations, games, educator selected learning videos, a moderated Q&A forum called KidzTalk, a safe student encyclopedia, student news articles, top websites for kids, cool facts updated daily, a fully moderated safe social network (KidzNet) that lets kids read, comment, and even contribute news articles, and much more.
