Easy to use and free, good parents controls and sercerity easy to control using the app on my phone, good to get notifications to your phone about what the kids spend and good kids app for their phones too Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Very good service, and no issues so far.

With Kite, my son has his own version of the app, along with a card, and he loves being able to see his own balance. Using my app I can set limits and controls, and these can be changed in real time if needed. So for example we were actually at a checkout when we found that the purchase he was making was above the limit. I was able to amend this at that point, and we could immediately make the purchase. When it was paid for this was a great account. Since it was made free it's just got even better! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
