Gabb 3rd Party Apps

BrandonT

It's been almost a month since you have added any new 3rd party apps for my Gabb Phone 4 Pro..

When do you plan to add more apps? There are several I have requested.

Thanks

Hello @BrandonT,

Our team works hard to regularly review each app that is requested through the Request an App feature. Due to the high number of inquires every day, we do not have a set timeframe from app request to approval/denial. If the desired app passes our minimum safety standards, it will be made available for Gabb phones with a full review. The number of requests per app also comes into play with app reviewal. With this said, anywhere from 1-10 highly requested apps are added each month.

Our Reviewing Criteria for approval or denial of a request comes down to several important factors. We do our best to avoid including those that are inherently intended for mature users. We screen for explicit, violent, and drug-and-alcohol-related features. However, app developers can allow users to share content, and apps that give users access to libraries and bookstores may offer mature content. Furthermore, any apps that allow for contact with strangers come with potential risk. We encourage families to have regular conversations about how apps are being used.

We thank you for your patience as each app request is reviewed!

Reagan,

I appreciate your reply. I have just gotten used to you guys adding new apps on a weekly basis.

You have a nice selection of apps for my kids but there are other apps that would be useful to parents such as Venmo, Megaplex Theatres (based here in Utah) other local news apps such as the KSL News.

I notice you have Reuters and Associated Press and Univision but I would like to see more localized news apps as Reuters and AP are usually fake news and irrelevant to me.

I would get a regular phone but as a parent I really enjoy having a basic phone with no social media or other distractions.

Thanks for all you guys do. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for this response @BrandonT!

We love to hear that you are using the Gabb Phone 4 Pro as a parent! We can understand the desire for more apps to be consistently added. As mentioned above, out team is working each day to approve the apps that pass our reviewing criteria.

Thank you for your app suggestions through our Request an App feature the website. We can assure you that more apps are to come soon!
