Kid's messaging app (Android / Kindle)

[james_tigerwoods]

I've been having problems with the kids' mum and as a result, communication with the kids is difficult - With my daughter, she has her own phone, so that's less of an issue.

However, my son (nearly 8) has a Kindle fire that he uses a fair bit - I know what Facebook has Messenger for Kids, but that's not available in the UK. Can anyone recommend anything that might work instead so he can message me whenever he wants to?

Thanks,

JTW

Skype springs to mind immediately.

Don't know how tight you can lock it down though, should that be a requirement.

Not a bad idea really - Does it run in the background on an Android phone?
