Kideos.com Launches Free iPhone Application

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Earlier Media announced the launch of an iPhone application that allows on-the-go parents and kids to access Kideos’ extensive library of children’s videos (www.kideos.com) from an iPhone or iPod Touch. The free app groups kids videos by age range and also into popular categories such as Sesame Street videos, Barney shows and nursery rhymes. The Kideos iPhone app allows busy families to access all of the site’s great content, including the Top 10 Kids Videos of 2009, while on the go.

“Parents and kids love Kideos, and one of the things we always hear is that they’d like a way to take the experience with them”

“Parents and kids love Kideos, and one of the things we always hear is that they’d like a way to take the experience with them,” says Josh Solt, COO of Earlier Media. “With our new iPhone app, kids can enjoy their favorite shows wherever they want. Now, parents can tap into quality kids’ entertainment when doctors are running late, grocery shopping becomes a bore or car rides stretch on forever.”

Kideos features popular videos for children in a kid-friendly interface and a safe environment. The site has been referred to as “YouTube for kids.” All of the Kideos videos have been vetted and approved by a Video Advisory Council comprised of parents and educators who thoroughly screen content before it appears on the site.

Once the Council reviews videos, they are categorized and sorted by age group, taking into account developmental criteria and recommendations from leading experts nationwide. This process gives parents confidence that the content on Kideos is appropriate, safe and entertaining for children.

Just as the Kideos website was built with children in mind, the Kideos iPhone application is straightforward to use, allowing children to navigate the app on their own. Kids can begin watching their favorite shows easily and safely with a few simple taps.
