Why regular phones don't work

Kids get around blocks

Kids have lots of time and aren't scared to press everything. Lots of apps hide a browser inside them. One tap on a link and they're online.

Parental controls leak

They're hard to set up, and parents tell us all the time their kids got right through them. Ours is built into the phone.

Quick questions

Do I have to approve every app?

Yes. You decide which apps your child can have. Once you approve an app in your parent portal, it becomes available to install from the Grow App Store. There is no separate Grow review after your approval.

Do I have to read their texts?

No. You choose the apps. You don't have to monitor messages or calls.

Will the apps my kid needs work?

Most everyday apps do. If there's one your kid really needs, ask us before you order and we'll check it.
