This is the latest user guide for the Famigo Sandbox, available on the Google Play store. It is meant as a support document, but is non-technical and therefore does a pretty good job of explaining our solution to mobile content management for families. The Famigo Sandbox provides robust parental controls and expertly curated family-friendly content for your android device. If you would like more information please visit our website www.famigo.com or contact Matt McDonnell mattm@famigo.com. Thanks for taking a moment to learn more about us!

3. WELCOME!
At Famigo we have just one goal: to make mobile technology work for families.
Whether in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, on a plane, or in line at the DMV, parents pass their smartphones to
children to entertain, educate and keep kids engaged during down time. Unfortunately, the “pass back” is not without risk.
Smartphones now function as “Command Central” for busy parents. Simply by hitting the wrong button, a child can
accidentally call a contact, send a text or email to the boss, or access content via the web or app store.
As families increasingly go mobile, they need better tools built just for them. And that’s why we created Famigo Sandbox for
Android.
With Famigo Sandbox, Android devices are suddenly family-friendly. Simply download and install Famigo Sandbox and with the
press of a button the phone or tablet is partitioned, creating a “sandbox” that automatically separates meaningful and relevant
children’s content from the rest of the smartphone’s capabilities, leaving your child free to select from their favorite content
and activities.
In addition to creating a kid-safe gaming and learning center, Famigo Sandbox helps parents and kids find the best kid-friendly
content in the market. We know parents are incredibly busy, so we curate and review great apps for kids and make them easy
to find and download straight to your device through Famigo Sandbox. We recommend apps based on what you already have
on your phone, what other families like yours love and what our team of experts approves.
This user’s guide will walk you through setting up your family’s Famigo Sandbox and all the best features and capabilities of the
app. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact us at info@famigo.com. Our lines are open
and we’ll respond to you right away.
Pass back and play on!
