Vling is the safe and simple video messenger for families and close friends.
Designed by parents explicitly for families with young children. Vling enables children who have access to their own iPad, iPod or old iPhone to send video messages to family and friends that parents have explicitly approved of. Now grandparents, aunts and uncles can feel more connected to your children and you can send a good night kiss or good luck wish when you can’t make it there in person.
SAFE
No invites from strangers, no in-app purchases and no ads for kids to accidentally click on. Every child account is hidden and protected under the parents account and the parent exclusively controls who their child is able to communicate with.
SIMPLE
Video messages make Vling super simple for everyone to use. No need to read or write. Just press the button and talk and a minute later, the idea, wish or love is simply delivered.
UNSCHEDULED
No more scheduling time for grandparents and kids to talk online and never miss a chance to say good morning, good luck or good night when you have to travel for work. You and your kids can send a Vling any time you like.
HOW IT WORKS:
Parent/Adult accounts are able to create restricted child accounts, invite family and friends and accept invites for themselves and their children. Child accounts can only be contacted by people that the parent has approved of from their account. No information about the child is visible or searchable publicly. Only explicitly invited family and friends can see the childs account, let alone contact them. Parental controls are on the parents device and not on the childs device so managing the child account can be done from anywhere and even while the child is using their device.
Viewed messages are automatically deleted after 7 days. You can ‘pin’ your favorite messages and they will be saved for you as long you keep them pinned.
30-day free trial included; pay month-to-month or annually thereafter. No need to cancel. The service automatically stops at the end of the paid period and you can restart any time.
WHY IS THIS A PAID SERVICE?
We work for you, not advertisers who want your profile information. As a paying subscriber, you dont have to worry about your child seeing and clicking on ads or constantly asking you to buy things.
SET-UP
1) A parent installs the app on their device (phone or tablet), creates an account, subscribes to the service and creates child accounts for up to 3 children.
2) Install the app on the childs device and login with the parents account credentials. The parent will then be prompted to select the user for the device (or create a new child account).
