British parents have long known that handing your kids an iPad full of children’s TV shows is a proper way to keep them quiet for a while appropriately entertained and informed. The BBC has made that job even easier nowadays by launching a special iPlayer Kids app. The iPad app,which has a user-interface suitable for young children, features only age-appropriate TV shows.
The new child-friendly app is secure and easy to exercise. With over 10000 episodes being made available this year alone, and it has all of BBC Children’s world-class content in one status,allowing kids to discover and enjoy both new and stale CBeebies and CBBC favourites including Wolfblood, Blue Peter, and The Dumping Ground,Topsy & Tim and fade Jetters.
Each child in the family creates their own profile, total with their age and a cartoon character to represent them, and the app them automatically filters the shows offered.
Pre-school children (under five) are only shown CBeebies content,while children over five are shown both CBBC and CBeebies content (customised to be suitable for their age).
The BBC says it created the app in recognition of the fact that children’s programs are the most popular genre watched through iPlayer.
