As it's for young children it needs to very easy;
- Little to no account setup ( non tech parents needs to be able to do this )
- Easily to join ( perferably it auto joins the chat room when the app is launched )
- Easy to shutdown ( perferably if the tablet is shut off the app should close, again non tech parent need to be able to do this with no hassle )
- no ads
I should support Android and iOS ( Linux and windows 10 would be a great bonus but it not required )
Most candidates I can think of fails one or more of the above requirements ( Hangouts, Messenger, skype ) - but I'm thinking I can't be the first parent looking into this, so hopefully there is a "perfect" app out there :)
