What Parents Are Saying

Real reviews from families using DadLink Messenger

★★★★★

"My 8-year-old wanted WhatsApp but I wasn't ready for him to have open internet access. DadLink is the perfect middle ground. He can message me and his dad from his iPad without needing a phone number."

- Sarah J., Mother of 3
★★★★★

"I'm a divorced dad and my ex often confiscates my son's phone. Because DadLink works on his school laptop and gaming tablet, we can still say goodnight every single evening."

- Mark S., DadLink User
★★★★☆

"Finally a messaging app that doesn't try to be social media. It's just simple, secure chat. No status updates, no stories, no distractions. Just me and my kids."

Why DadLink is the Best Messaging App for Kids in 2026

In a world where standard messaging apps like WhatsApp or Messenger often require phone numbers and expose children to potential contact with strangers, DadLink offers a secure alternative. Designed specifically for co-parenting families and young children, our app removes the need for a SIM card entirely.

Many parents struggle when a child's phone is lost, confiscated, or the plan is cancelled. Because DadLink uses a secure cloud login (Username & PIN), your child can switch devices seamlessly. They can message you from an iPad at home, an Android tablet at a grandparent's house, or even a web browser.

Security is paramount. Our "Walled Garden" approach means your child exists in a closed network. They cannot be searched for by the public, and they cannot receive message requests from anyone not explicitly approved by you. This makes DadLink the ultimate tool for staying close to your kids safely.
