Best apps for teens that aren’t all about scrolling?

[MumzillaReturns]

I’m trying to find some decent app alternatives for my dd that aren’t social media. She spends so much time on TikTok and Snapchat, and while I’m not trying to ban it completely, I’d love to get a few other things on her phone that are a bit more positive or engaging in a different way.

She's into music, art, musicals, and a bit of gaming. Ideally something that doesn’t feel too “educational” or she'll just ignore it 😅. Open to any suggestions, just looking to balance things out a bit really and provide a positive space.

All thoughts welcome! Thanks

dd 14 uses the we are luna app. It's educational but not boring since it's tailored for their age group (kind've like a magazine) that talks about periods and puberty-related things. It's not all just reading though there's a section for asking experts anonymous questions as well as tracking their periods/moods/skin/sleep/ etc. x

My DD (14) uses the luna app too!! It's been so helpful for her and does actually really remind me of the magazines that I used to read/I used to see my siblings reading when we were all younger (used to love the agony aunt column!)

luna basically has its own agony aunt thing but it's by real doctors and you get quick answers, my daughter has asked a few questions about periods, skincare, friendships, and the answers are genuinely helpful, and something that I properly trust. Then she can read all the related articles, videos in her own time, and it's not overwhelming

And she tracks her period on it, so she feels more in control of that side of things too - honestly have a look because I was so surprised something like that existed. Here's some of the example articles on their web: weareluna.app/articles/
