Unlike Instagram, Kuddle does not have a comments section, so nobody can say anything negative about any of the pictures posted. Our “like” feature is set up so that every “like” is anonymous. Kids can see how many likes their picture gets, but cannot see who liked it. We hope this will increase the possibilities of creativity and appreciation for content, regardless of who shared it.

   

Kuddle has been labelled by Tech Crunch ‘an Instagram with training wheels’.Our app empowers kids as young as 6 or 7 to explore the social media universe, whilst giving their parents peace of mind, knowing that exploration is happening in a safer, more secure, and sheltered digital environment.

For kids, Kuddle means the freedom to express their creativity, share their pictures and their point of view with friends and family, and be part of the social media community.

For parents, Kuddle means complete visibility and control over who and what their child is being exposed to online.

 

The result: kids can be kids, parents can be parents, and social media can besocial media, just more kid-friendly than ever before!

If you’re a parent with a child over the age of 6 or 7, chances are your child has asked you once or twice, if not more, to be allowed to join social media. 

At first glance this might seem surprising as we tend to think of social media as a grown-up thing. The reality is kids are asking at increasingly younger ages to join social media sites and this can be a little disconcerting

Over the past few years, social media has transformed from a fun free-time activity for high-schoolers and college students into the most essential communication tool in our increasingly plugged-in, digital world. When kids and young teenagers see their parents, their older siblings, their role models, their friends and peers getting in on the social media fun, it only makes sense for them to want to be a part of it too.

Still, so many parents are worried about letting their child join the major social networking platforms available today (photo-sharing platforms in particular) and their concerns are justified. Platforms like Snapchat and Instagram are difficult to impossible for parents to monitor. Content posted in these sites can often be inappropriate for anyone under the age of 13 and they can be hotbeds for the kinds of online bullying that leave vulnerable children emotionally devastated, or worse.

It is only natural for parents to want to shield their kids from the more harmful elements of the Internet for as long as possible. This dilemma underscores the importance of educating children in the online digital world so they can develop the skills and habits to navigate social media safely before they're thrown into the deep end in middle school or high school.

Kuddle is here to provide an online digital playground space for kids to do exactly that. Safer, more secure and social, Kuddle is the beginning of a new era of kid-friendly Internet fun.

We need your help to build this- kuddle is free so the income are from investors and donations.
