“We want teens to be less reliant on screens,” said Nate Randle,
Gabb CEO, “We want teens to use this new phone as a safer way to
connect with family and friends. Then we want them to put it down
and build their very best selves through time spent away from their
phones. This is always the goal for each of our products.”
Gabb embraces the idea that children should have a unique
relationship with technology, free from addiction and early
exposure to adult content. By easing kids into technology gradually
with devices and plans built for different stages of tech
readiness, Gabb helps ensure they receive appropriate tech at the
right time. This empowers parents to match their child’s readiness
with suitable technology. This philosophy is known as Tech in
Steps™.
Teen Independence, on Parents’ Terms.
With the Gabb Phone 4 Pro, parents can grant teens the amount of
independence they are ready for while maintaining the ability to
oversee and manage teens’ digital experiences. Gabb Phone 4 Pro
offers flexible plans that allow parents to choose how much access
their teen has. From just essential apps to third-party,
parent-enabled apps, Gabb Phone 4 Pro offers flexibility so parents
can decide the right approach for their teen.
Hundreds of Apps. None Are Social Media.
The Gabb Phone 4 Pro boasts hundreds of third-party apps via the
Gabb App Store that are reviewed in the Gabb App Guide. These
reviews offer insight into potential concerns that might influence
parents’ decisions to prohibit or allow certain apps. Flags such as
“no parental controls,” “potential connection to the internet,” or
“communications with strangers,” help parents understand whether an
app is right for their child. Each app is only available to teens
after being enabled by their parents. Because parents can manage
which apps will be available for download, they are empowered to
create a safer, lower screen time digital environment for their
teens. Internet browser apps and social media apps are
intentionally excluded from the Gabb App Store.
“We stand with the Surgeon General and the voices of many teens:
social media is a danger to young people,” said Lance Black, Gabb
Founding Partner. “Research shows that teens can lose over a year
of their lives to mindless scrolling. Unlike other companies that
offer social media apps, Gabb is committed to providing a safer,
healthier alternative for our youth.”
Exclusive Safe Gabb Apps
With the Gabb Phone 4 Pro, teens gain access to a suite of
exclusive Gabb apps designed for safety and fun, including:
- Gabb Music: Safe music streaming of original music provided
