Rover vs. Safari

4.  Rover is a very safe browser for children.  It uses flash content by streaming.  It does meet school accreditation so it is safe to use in the classroom.  The app keeps a list of sites inappropriate for the classroom.  It does not support multitasking, so that students could go to a page and back again.  They would have to bookmark their pages. Rover does have a free version but it is very limited and only provides access to view filtered websites. The most popular version is $9.99 and opens the door to a wider range of web content.
  Safari is a free browser.  It is much faster than Rover and has the ability to sync between all apple devices by using cloud capabilities.   It offers private browsing if wanted.  It does have multitasking capabilities and is easy to use.  It is not as kid-friendly, meaning not as "safe" by filtering out inappropriate websites.

  1. Well, it appears that you missed point that Rover will play Flash files. Otherwise, this is fine.
