Here I’m reviewing Stars messaging. It’s a phone and tablet app for families and kids who want a way to message each other without requiring a phone number. You can also do video chat. In other words, it can even work on a tablet with no data plan (so long as there is a Wi-Fi connection). First I’ll briefly explain how Stars works, then outline the pros and cons, and then I’ll explain why I feel it’s a safer fit for kids than other messaging apps on the market.

Read on to find out more about how it works and about my experiences donating. 

I’ve been using Postcardly for almost a year now, so I decided this was a good time to review this postcard sending service. Here is a balanced review of Postcardly, listing the pros and cons.
