About the app

Mural is a digital whiteboard and collaboration tool, not a child-learning app. Teams use it to sketch ideas, organize workshops, and work visually together across devices. Families or classrooms may adapt it for planning, but the core product is collaborative workspace software rather than guided child instruction.

The right framing is therefore productivity and teamwork, not early-years learning.

Safety review

Safety review for Mural should focus on invitations, sharing permissions, imported content, and whether a child could interact with people or material outside a trusted group. Parents and teachers should also check exports, public links, and whether boards can be discovered beyond the intended workspace.

The tool can be useful in supervised projects, but adults should control access and keep collaboration boundaries clear.

Selection Criteria

Our assessment is based on a review of four core pillars: privacy, age-appropriateness, educational value, and the absence of advertising. We also look to awards, certifications and other recognition. These combined factors determine the app's final safety rating.
