APPropriate

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about Duolingo, the uber-popular language learning platform has made learning a new language accessible to anybody with a computer or smartphone. 

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about Pulled Over By Police. Not technically an app, Pulled Over By Police is a downloadable link for the pre-installed Shortcuts app on iPhones that helps people record traffic stops and other interactions with law enforcement.

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about YouNow, yet another app that lets kids consume and create live broadcasts, with the ultimate goal of gaining viewers, trending our brand and growing your fan base.

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about Chatous - a messaging app (with a reputation of being a dating app for teens) that allows users to chat with strangers, share images, and more.

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about Holla (with 2 Ls) and Hola (with 1 L) are two different-though-similar apps. Both are considered what we call Random Video Chat Apps - designed to connect strangers and have their own, unique spin on this mostly pointless (and sometimes-dangerous) behavior.

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about Periscope - one of the first livestreaming, video apps. Most parents’ primary concern about this popular platform is either what their kid might see or what their kid might do on the app. Both are necessary conversations.

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about AirDrop, an Apple-specific feature that lets you instantly share photos, files, and other content with other apple users who are in close proximity.

Though Airdrop simply enables the transfer of files using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is not social media in the truest sense of the term, AND most kids use AirDrop without any problems - it does bring potential for problems and misuse that parents should keep an eye out for.

This week’s APPropriate podcast is about Tapereal, an iOS app that allows users to record conversations,  which they call “tapes” - either podcast-like recordings or split-screen vlogs, which are then shared for friends, followers, and the larger community to listen, repost, and share.

This week's APPropriate episode is our second episode about TikTok. If you are a human, a parent and identify anywhere between Millennial and Boomer, you have heard of the app, TikTok, the kinda-new, extraordinarily-popular, short-form video, performance app.

The grandparent of PTT (Push-To-Talk) or Walkie-Talkie apps, Voxer allows users to exchange real-time voice messages (like a walkie-talkie) to another Voxer users, and has become popular over the last several years amongst teens who enjoy its fun combination of texting and talking.
