Giveaway: Tocomail

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

With children’s online safety continuing to be a major issue, Tocobox Inc. released Tocomail, the safest email service for children. Inspired by kids and based on their feedback, Tocomail offers a real and fun email experience for children, while providing parents with complete control over their e-mail activity.

A great first email service for kids, Tocomail features an easy-to-use intuitive interface designed to make it simple to stay connected with family and friends on all popular platforms (web, iOS and Android).  Tocomail provides a personalized email address (i.e. name@tocomail.com) and users will get “push notifications” sent to their iPhone, iPad, tablet or smartphone when mail is received.

Tocomail makes e-mailing fun with many cool features such as a drawing board, custom avatar creation, picture timeline and a colorful design that all kids will love.  So even if a child can’t type, they can easily draw a picture and include it in an email. With two different levels of user-interface (UI), Tocomail can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.

The free version delivers a basic set of parental controls conducted through a safe list of contacts allowed to communicate with their kids.  A premium version, available for $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, provides advanced parental controls which include a quarantine box, profanity filter and enhanced contact list. With premium services, the child can communicate with any contact outside the safe list after the parent has viewed and approved the e-mail.  Parents can also choose to receive a copy of the quarantined email sent to their regular email account and can approve or reject emails directly from these notifications. In addition, a bullying recognizer that will detect and immediately notify parent if bullying patterns are found will be added soon.

I have the chance to give away a one-year premium subscription to Tocomail. To enter, leave a comment with your favorite feature of the service.
