The App You Can Recommend with Confidence
Parents ask educators which apps are actually good for kids. Here's what ZOWN does for the kids you teach — and why it's safe to put your name behind.
Why It's Safe to RecommendSafe Enough to Put Your Name Behind
How ZOWN keeps kids safe
Human moderation
A real adult reviews every shared creation before other kids see it.
Anonymous by design
No real names or profiles are shared in the community.
Parental consent
A parent's consent is required before a child joins.
Ad-free
No ads, and no engagement-maximising tricks.
What to tell parents
"It's a moderated, ad-free wellbeing app with an AI buddy — a real adult reviews everything kids share, and parents consent before a child joins."
You're pointing families at a resource, not vouching for a business — the parents page answers the questions they'll ask you next.
