Right off the bat, the authorizing parent is in the child's contact list, and that's all. From there on, the child can take their photo (or have it taken by the parent), choose a theme color, and dive in. The parent logs into their own account and pops in the kid's name. The service runs under the auspices of the parent's account, but the child never has access to do anything with that account. But apps can take ages to launch, animations are jerky, and scrolling through anything is a great way to drive yourself insane.But I can report that the Messenger Kids app runs acceptably on a Fire 7.Facebook expects a parent to be a little suspicious of this app, so right from the get-go it lets you know that the app will not create a Facebook account for your kid. They work as intended for the most part, and my kids are delighted we have them. Frequently on sale for $30, one would expect nothing else.
So I grabbed one of the Fire 7 tablets we have for our kids and installed the app to see what it was all about, and just how well it works on Amazon's lowest-end hardware.Because here's the thing: These tablets are slow. Facebook has released its new Messenger Kids app to the Amazon App Store, making the service available to owners of its Fire line of tablets.
