I will admit that while I had heard of CBeebies before, I hadn’t really had much to do with them. We don’t have pay TV and so our TV viewing for the kids is limited to ABC4Kids.
However, when I downloaded the CBeebies On The Go App in the iTunes store, I found that I already knew most of the programs that were showcased throughout the app.
Once I’d downloaded it, I handed my phone over to Amy and suggested that she have a play with it. 2 hours later and she was still laying on the couch, curled up with a blanket and the app. She’s unwell at the moment, which is why she was allowed so much time playing games, but still, two hours of relative silence!
Isaac has had a few turns as well – as much as his sister will allow at least (“But Isaac, it is MY TURN NOW. ARGHHHH!”) and he has had fun scrolling through the video clips and short games.
I haven’t yet had a chance to test the app “on the go” exactly, but honestly, I think it may just be the best thing, next time we’re stuck waiting for doctors, or during the supermarket trips.
The app itself was easy for little fingers to manipulate and organise and I didn’t have to rescue the kids every 2 minutes and “fix” something. Being very kid friendly is being parent friendly also.
All I can say is I would like more little apps like this! And, because I have two children, but only one iPhone, I would love to see the CBeebies app available through the Android market as well please.
CBeebies On The Go App is free! Yay for free kid entertainment!
