In this day where kids are exposed to dangerous games such as Blue Whale, Hyderabad-based start-up Play Go Solutions has launched a parent-children collaboration application called LR ‘n’ Play.

It is an incentive-based application rewarding kids for learning and also makes the internet child-proof. The complete application is currently available only for Android, although it can be controlled from iOS and Windows PC.

“We grew tired of the overuse of electronic gadgets and the internet by kids,” said Kiran Reddy and Shilpa Rao, the co-founders, at a media briefing.

“The platform provides information on the areas on which the kid can improve on, how much screen time the kid spends, and options to control the usage (such as blocking an application). The application on the kid’s device can be remotely controlled with an internet connection,” Kiran added.

The application is driven by a reward-based system, where the parents can reward the kid (possibly by increasing allowed screen time), when the kid completes an assignment/task.

The basic version of the Android application is free on the Play Store. For more comprehensive functionalities, the user must pay a subscription fee.
