As mums, we know kids can’t get enough of playing and learning with tablets these days. Which is why we’re so excited to introduce the Kurio Product Review.

The new Kurio 7S is the ultimate android tablet for families! The new Kurio 7S 7inch Android tablet has been designed with the whole family in mind. The advanced tablet offers best-in-class parental controls, which allow parents to set up unique user profiles for each family member. Kurio profiles ensure that parents have full control over the content their kids have access to on the tablet, including app management, safe web filtering and even setting time limits for each child’s daily usage!

Kurio comes ready to play as it’s packed with preloaded best-selling games and educational content including full versions of kids favourites Angry Birds Space, Fruit Ninja, Disney Princess, Disney Cars, Toy Story, Mathepillar, eBooks and so much more! Additional apps and games can be downloaded via WIFI from the regular Android app store.

Kids will have a blast playing with the front and rear cameras, shooting video, listening to music, watching movies, drawing and learning while having fun. The included drop safe silicon bumper ensures the tablet is protected from minor bumps and knocks.

The easy to use parental controls will give parents complete peace of mind, with just a few simple clicks parents can enter the password protected parental area and access detailed controls. Parental controls include:

  • Access detailed controls right on the tablet through the easy to use, password protected parental area
  • Set up to 8 completely independent user profiles with full file separation – it’s like having 8 tablets in one Kurio!
  • Set individual time limits for each family member with just a few clicks
  • Choose age-appropriate apps and add them to your child’s profile
  • Kurio Genius™ Kid-Safe Internet Filtering System included – an advanced system that filters 450+ million websites a day and determines what is appropriate content based on your child’s age and the restriction levels set by the parent
  • Easily manage safe lists (allows access to parental approved websites) and block lists (blocks inappropriate websites as set by the parent)
  • Access to many more apps through the kid safe Kurio app store or the regular Android app store

  • great size packed with features

    my friend came over with her children for a cuppa and her children have one, they were nice enough to show us how it works, and let my children play with it for a while, i was impressed on the age range of the apps, there was something for everyone to do, what a fantastic device, looks like we might have to get one for Christmas.

  • the kurio funtime

    We loved the kurio tablet. As partmof my business the chikdren were fortunate enough to be given a lend of a tablet from moose. I never thought thye woukd get it back and I thought with 1 there would be loads of fighting over it but no. Lots of sharing.

    the only downside I believe is the cost. With 2 under 5 we were in need of entertainment for a big road trip. Had they have been around $150max we wouldn"t have hesitated abd brought 2 of them.

    I have purchased this for my 7 year old son for xmas. He asked for an Ipad or tablet from santa and after reading the reviews from other mums i decided this was the way to go. I'll be back in the new year to let you know how it went!

  • Checking in again - 2 weeks later

    Our family has had the Kurio for two weeks now. And we had the opportunity to take it on the road last weekend as we went for a bit of a drive. The kids still love playing with the games and apps but an unexpected stand out for them has been the toddler jukebox. They have really been enjoying listening to the songs and singing along. I caught my three year old setting up the Kurio along side his drum last week so he could have a little karaoke session!

    We have really enjoyed this tablet, and while I am still a Mac person the Kurio will become the kids tablet, especially when we travel or have long appointments. Having separate log ins with different restrictions is probably the stand out feature of the Kurio.

    The only things I would want potential customers to be aware of is that the Kurio comes with a rubber bumper but no case (so the screen is not protected), having said that it would be simple to make or purchase a sleeve for the tablet. The battery life is also shorter than similar devices and it did not come with a car charger (although accessories are on their website and I hope Big W will also be stocking them).

  • Wonderful sturdy tablet.

    What a surprise to be chosen to review this product. I was very taken with just how funky it is and apealing to the eye. The games on it cover a wide range of ages. Am yet to download anything but have found it quite mum friendly so far!!! Have a friend with younger children so am waiting to give them a go to see how they like the games aimed at their ages. I am very taken with its all round appeal, with an affordable price to boot.

  • Not an ipad

    This is ok. It broke after a couple of months. I didn't find it was great quality. These are not an ipad quality that's for sure. You are not able to download everything and not as hardy. They are ok if you can't afford an ipad but I would not recommend one. Save your money not worth it in my opinion. It's a shame but I had to go out and purchase another brand that's right you guessed it an ipad two years later it's still going strong. Personally don't waste your money. Nt for our family any way

    My granddaughters were given one of these for christmas presents, they just love them. They are very careful, and are teaching me to use one. I bought a similar product and they had to show me how to get to the apps and back. I am impressed by the security, that is so important with kids these days. Very good product.

  • Pretty average

    I bought 2 of these for my nieces, within a month I was having to return them to Big W for new ones, as they had completely stopped working, wouldn't even turn on! They have limited capabilities and apps. I did like the idea of the parental controls though.

    U bought my own as it though having to entertain my son this may do the trick. Well it was perfect having him sit down for an hour or two just playing with this. Made dinner that much easier to have and going out too. Perfect for us.

  • Best Xmas Present for a 3 year old

    We brought this for my son for Christmas, we were a little unsure if it would be any good. But my son LOVES it, he loves the rage go apps and games and I like the fact its SAFE for the kids to play on and I know he won't land on any sites I don't want him to see!

    I would recommend this to other parents!

  • Fantastic. kept my two year old well entertained

    We mostly use it to entertain mister two at the doctors or when we go out to to lunch. Its been so handy. I love the parental control and that there is already so many preloaded apps. I find my unit does have some issues with it going flat rather quickly but its managed to last for the time we have needed it so far.

    my son has one and i find it helpful and educational for them to have this technology, he uses it on long journeys and while fun there are programs that help them bring literacy and numerous skills higher, clear interface, better quality than other androids, totally worth the purchase. :)

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.

    Reply

  • I registered to give it a go. Hopefully it will be fun and easy. I often wonder where these survey figures come from so I now realise sites like this are it.

    Reply

  • I’ve neer been on Purkle yet. Although I have nothing against having your say and sharing your thoughts, advice and opinions there is one thing that I hate and that is surveys ! Quite often the available answers to chose from do not resemble my thought and you end up chosing the answer that comes closest to your ideas, but is not really it.

    Reply

  • Some of these surveys can’t be done on your phone and they can be quite repetitive. I earn $20 every few months and these days, every little bit helps with the cost of living

    Reply

  • I do the occasional survey for some extra money or when I want to treat myself to something a little special. I actually saved my survey fly buys dollars and treated myself to a Kitchen Aid mixer. It was worth all the time doing the surveys as it allows me to make lunch snacks so much quicker

    Reply

  • I love doing surveys but I do find they time out a lot after you have spent time doing them. It is a great little way to make some extra cash on the side. You need to have the time to do these regularly and working full time I don’t these days but still love to earn a few dollars when I can.
