Sky, the entertainment company operating in several European countries, announced the launch of their new Sky Kids app starting today. The app is designed for kids and will be available at no extra cost to Sky subscribers. The Sky Kids app provides access to watch a variety of kids shows, including 16 of the 20 highest-rated shows, via the app. In addition to the existing content that will be available, Sky will start producing their own original content later this year.
Some of the programs accessible through the Sky Kids app include Nick Jr.’s Paw Patrol, Boomerang’s Scooby Doo and Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time. The first original content slated for production will be new episodes of Morph.
Lucy Murphy, the Head of Kids Content for Sky, had the following to say regarding the launch of the new app,
“We have worked really closely with lots of children and their parents to design the new Sky Kids app. It means they can watch all their favourite shows in a really engaging way designed just for them. Safety is of fundamental importance so parents will be able to filter what their child watches according to their age.
Having lots of great shows for kids has always really mattered to us. Around a quarter of Sky households have children so we know how important it is we give them the very best kids entertainment. That is why we are investing in exclusive new programming starting with family favourite Morph as well as developing future enhancements for the app including even more safety features, live channels and offline viewing.”
To help parents manage the television shows their kids may be watching, the Sky Kids app includes content that is appropriate for children from pre-school ages up to age nine. Within that range, parents can create custom profiles that can be personalized for even finer control. Sky says later this year they will introduce a sleep mode that can be used to manage viewing time. There are also plans to add features that will enable kids to do things like create their own characters and even short films using the app.
