FAQ

My child is having trouble signing in.  What could be the problem?

Your child may have selected a user name that is already in our database or may be mistyping a password.  Look for the green check which signals that the user name and password has been accepted by Kudos.

How does Kudos protect my child?

Parents are sent requests to activate their child’s account. Until the account has been activated, no one can see a child’s post.  Kudos Moderators review all pictures, comments and captions and will remove any that they feel are inappropriate.  Parents are notified of their child’s posts and comments.

We do not share any of your child’s information with anyone but, from time to time, we may feature a posted masterpiece (without names) in our marketing materials. 

When using Kudos, geo-location features are disabled for safety reasons.

How does Kudos handle friends?

All friendships are mutual in Kudos. All friend requests are pending until both parties agree to accept them.  

Once friendships have been accepted on both sides, users will be able to see each other’s profiles, full names, posts, groups and friends. They will also see all the pictures their friends have posted.

Parents will be able to both approve and delete friends.  Kids may also delete friends should they chose to do so.

What will my child do In the Kudos app?

Kudos kids can share photos from their camera roll or camera and they can see and react to photos shared by their friends.  Kids can draw on photos and add comments or captions and can join Groups to share pictures with other children who share their interests.

Can I report a photo/ caption or comment?

Occasionally, you may come across a photo, comment or caption that you might find inappropriate. If you want to report it, click on the icon that is at the bottom right hand corner of the photo.

Why does Kudos ask for my child’s full name? 

At Kudos we believe in taking responsibility for everything you share online. We would like Kudos kids to only share things they want to have directly associated with them. By making their name visible, they will be held accountable for all the content they decide to publish.

Is my child too young to be using Kudos?

How can my child invite friends to the app?
