The set-up guide doesn't draw your attention to the fact you can access third-party app stores. This isn't exactly the safest thing to do when you're trying to make a device more secure. Of course using third-party App stores or sideloading apps requires changing Android's security settings to accept apps from unknown sources.

If you read the fine print you discover it is also possible to sideload APK app files onto the Kurio 7S, via the internal storage, micro-SD card or perhaps email. Users in the US also have access to the Amazon App Store.

Hand the Kurio 7S to a pre-schooler and they might be impressed, but primary school kids will quickly grow frustrated with this tablet when there's no access to the Google Play store.ĭig around in the parental features and you'll discover that it's possible to install a few extra Android app stores, such as SlideMe market and 1Mobile Market. You'll find a few educational apps on there along with content sources like Toon Goggles, Booksy, Alkido eBook Reader (which is compatible with Adobe Digital Editions) and Disney eBooks. The Kurio 7S comes preloaded with "more than 60 premium apps", although in terms of games only a handful like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope, Where's My Water and Doodle Jump are likely to impress children already familiar with touchscreen devices. Instead you've got access to the tiny, hand-curated Kurio App Store. The biggest drawback of the Kurio 7S, which will frustrate children, is that there's no access to the Google Play App store. Even the lowly 7-inch, 1024圆00 pixel screen might not bother children, even though the colours look a little washed out and the narrow viewing angles can make sharing a challenge.

The VGA/2 megapixel front/rear cameras aren't much to get excited about either, although kids aren't fussy about such things. The Kurio 7S is heavier than the Nexus 7, packs less grunt and doesn't run as long on a single charge. If you know a bit about tech then you might baulk at paying $249 for the Kurio 7S when the impressive Nexus 7 is only $50 more, but to be honest the target users for the Kurio 7S aren't likely to appreciate the difference in most areas. Thankfully there's a detailed printed guide in the box which walks you through the process of setting up a parental administrator account and then configuring up to eight user accounts.Ĭonsidering all this flexibility you might be prepared to live with the fact that the tablet's hardware is several generations behind something like the new Nexus 7.

You can also customise access times for each user, restricting their usage to certain times of day and setting the maximum number of minutes they can use the tablet in any day. Instead of Google search you've got access to Google's kid-friendly KidRex search engine. You can also define custom restrictions for each user, which includes hiding the browser, whitelisting acceptable websites or else relying on the "Kurio Genius Kid-Safe Internet Filtering System" which can customise content according to each user's age. As you'd expect it's possible to restrict which apps each user can see, including Android system apps such as the browser, calendar, contacts, email client and camera.
