Parents' Choice Foundation gives Mobicip's Safe Browser a Silver Honors award, acknowledging their intelligent content filtering technology and simple remote monitoring that allows kids to safely browse the mobile web, putting parents and educators at ease.
Thousand Oaks, CA, USA, June 30, 2010 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Mobicip.com, the leading internet safety and parental control service for mobile devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, received the prestigious 2010 Parents’ Choice Silver Honors Award as a top mobile application software serving children and protecting their mobile experience. Parents’ Choice has been reviewing and recommending quality children’s media for more than 32 years. According to leaders at Parents’ Choice, “not only is it clear that children must be adept in the traditional areas of learning, they must also be competent and skilled in the learning opportunities digital media provides.”
Parents’ Choice recognizes the best in children’s media. They rate and award organizations with Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Mobicip’s mobile internet browsing security technology received the Silver honor with one or more of the evaluating groups at Parents’ Choice, a high prize for their child mobile internet safety technology’s production and human values. Parents’ Choice honors are given to excellent media products that are designed to entertain and support globally ethical attitudes. Products are also awarded based on how they help children cultivate skills while maintaining rigorous product standards.
“This is a very prestigious recognition from an organization that, for years, has been such a trusted source of the best in children’s education and entertainment,” says Anitha Swaminathan, Director of Customer Experience at Mobicip. “Parents need to be in the know about how to protect their kids who are mobile users and using them in mobile ways, without total parental supervision. We are so impressed that Parents’ Choice has a mobile category to cater to the trends and are equally proud to have been a part of their rigorous screening process and recognition.”
“The Mobicip Safe Browser's intuitive design is easy-to-use. It looks almost identical to the preferred Safari browser resident on many Apple products,” says Teresa DiFalco, a reviewer for Parents’ Choice. “Searches on inappropriate content produce a simple "access is denied" message and a link to the Mobicip website where a parent or administrator can, if they desire, change the filtering level. There are three age-appropriate levels: elementary, middle school, and high school.”
"The way children, tweens and teens learn today is becoming more and more mobile. Safe mobility fundamentally transforms how children learn and we are so pleased that Parents’ Choice sees our mobile app technology as playing a significant role in the process," says Suren Ramasubbu, Founder and CEO of Mobicip.com. "Mobicip's service is being used by thousands of parents around the world, and by several school districts. This award is so appreciated.”
Parents’ Choice has been reviewing and recommending quality children’s media since 1978. To learn more about Parents’ Choice, visit www.parents-choice.org
