A must have especially for the price
5 out of 5 stars
A must have especially for the price
Considering all the junk and subliminal messages on children’s movies and shows, this is a must have for every parent who chooses quality t.v. The version I have doesn’t have all the shows or seasons for instance we don’t get Maya and Miguel. Nonetheless its a must have we only pay $5. It does the kids justice especially if they watch mindless tv.

This app is perfect for kids, from little ones to older ones. It's super easy to download videos for offline viewing right within the app. I specifically use it when we're out and about without Wi-Fi. Not every video is downloadable, like Curious George, but shows like Rosie's Rules and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood are available, along with others. Recently discovered you can switch the language for audio and subtitles from English to Spanish, which is awesome. I absolutely love this app and recommend it to all parents. It's not just good for kids; the videos are engaging, with interactive buttons, and there's even a section for grown-ups. Overall, it's a fantastic app. Plus, it promises downloadable videos, which is a big win.

No fighting, no violence, no derogatory content, no sneaky inappropriate videos. It's perfect. PBS has always been the beacon for children's educational programs, and they are truly extraordinary at what they do. I am a firm and true believer of the values and lessons Mr. Rogers taught us, the parents, and PBS has instilled all of his teachings, and his approach to children, throughout all their content. The app is no different. It's easy to use, and fun. My son is on the spectrum and gets very limited screen time (about 40 minutes, broken into two 20 minute blocks-- one in the morning and the afternoon). When he does get his daily dose, he always asks for PBS kids. It's easy for him to use, and enforces the lessons he learns in ABA and other therapies. I adore this app. If there is one downside, and it's not even enough to take a star away, it's that it's not very interactive. It's mostly shows and learning songs. I think they get away with it because programs like Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, and Daniel Tiger interact with the audience watching; my son always responds to them and gets involved with what he's watching.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015
I really love this app. I found it with my newer kindle and figured I would give it a try. Not only is it easy for my young kids to use, but it streams pretty well. There are a lot of glitches at times but I can't really tell if it is my internet or the kindle. Since I have had other problems with my kindle (and almost always with the dumb internet) I won't blame the app.

I almost gave this a 1 star, though, because you cannot get it on the older kindle fires or even some of the kindle fire HD versions. Mine is the newer Fire HD 6 (purchased when it first came out) but all of my devices that were purchased before that one cannot even see this app as an option. Some of my family members have older versions of the kindle fire and kindle fire hd and they can't get this at all for their kids. Although this is not a "must have" in our family, it's nice to have as an option because some of the shows are really fun and educational. This is a great alternative for people who don't have Prime streaming options for their kids!
