Show HN: Famigo helps families find iOS and Android apps
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3057647As a parent, it's really hard to find good mobile content for your kids. Not only is there an issue with quantity, with over a million apps between iOS and Android, but there's also a quality issue, in that so many of these contain ads, in-app purchases, or content that's not completely kid-friendly (looking at you, fart apps). We're working on the solution to all of this at Famigo - http://www.famigo.com
At Famigo, we've built a system to help find and recommend great apps for families. We approach this problem in a lot of different ways: our staff reviews every app on the site, our rankings are crowd-sourced based on what parents actually find helpful, and then we throw some machine learning in there based on app trends over time. The result is that, if you want a free, educational, iOS app for a 5 year old, we've already got those identified.
We've learned so much from the community here at HN and would love to hear what folks have to say. The URL again is http://www.famigo.com.
