About the app

For kids…

In this game kids follow a route full of challenges and dilemmas: from cyberbullying and fake news to influencers and screen time. Just like in traffic, they learn to navigate opinions, temptations and dangers online. Passed the test? Then they’ve earned their digital “driver’s” license!

Our learning methodology is based on the Media Empowerment Model, developed by researchers at Erasmus University Rotterdam. We bring this research to life with modelling (see), training (do) and learning (understand) through videos, explainers and quizzes to stimulate media-savvy behavior. Moreover, studies show that good parent-child communication is the best foundation for smart and aware behavior online.

FI-NAL-LY! Top solution for a better start with your child's first mobile phone As a parent you have no choice, that mobile phone must come. We had an unpleasant feeling about that. This app gives us the context to understand what we are exposing our children to. And gives us tools to enter this new phase together. Thanks ChatLicense!

Great deal! A very useful, important and accessible app for both parent and child. So good that this is now available! The child is always challenged in a fun and playful way to complete an assignment successfully. As a parent, you have a much better view of your child's online development, you receive useful information about the latest online developments and tips for conversations at the kitchen table.

Smart, fun and educational app! It includes exactly what children need to know and learn. The app shows realistic situations that kids in this age category all have to deal with. Very important for every child with a (new) smartphone.

Exactly what you need! After thinking carefully about agreements, things we wanted to tell my daughter, and risks online with her own smartphone. It turns out that there is an app that goes through exactly the steps we would like to take, but in a playful, clear way. A lot better than (only) us as parents going through those rules..."

Good! We did ChatLicense when our daughter had her phone for almost a year and she wanted to download more and more apps. Even then it is still useful to do. All important things are discussed! Our daughter thought it was especially good that a lot of attention was paid to cyberbullying.

The great thing is that they can only use it for a limited time each day, so you're not immediately stuck with yet another app or game. This is educational and provides a good balance in terms of screen time. I'm a fan!

This app truly reflects all aspects well. A great experience! We can easily see how the children are progressing, and the children also enjoy using it. They even start using it independently, that's how much they like it.
