We’re excit­ed to announce that Jel­lies is offi­cial­ly avail­able on Android via the Ama­zon App­store. We qui­et­ly test­ed it with sev­er­al fam­i­lies over the last few weeks and are ready to make it offi­cial. This ver­sion of Jel­lies includes new fea­tures and loads more kid-friend­ly videos. Read on to learn what’s in store for your fam­i­ly when you start your 30-day free trial.

Great New Features Available

The Android ver­sion of Jel­lies includes many of the fea­tures you request­ed after we launched the iOS ver­sion back in late 2017. For exam­ple, this Android ver­sion comes with the abil­i­ty to search across all 150+ fun and edu­ca­tion­al top­ics. Access the new search fea­ture via the ​“Top­ics” tab. 

Speak­ing of top­ics, we also includ­ed videos that came straight from sug­ges­tions from users like you. Your fam­i­ly can now hop in on a Dou­ble Dutch com­pe­ti­tion, explore breath-tak­ing nation­al parks, and enjoy many oth­er par­ent-request­ed top­ics. We also added a way to expe­ri­ence even more of your favorite footage with our ​“back by pop­u­lar demand” top­ics like Baby Ani­mals II and Trains II.

Why Amazon Appstore?

Since our iOS launch, many par­ents and care­givers have reached out and asked us to sup­port Jel­lies on their Ama­zon Fire tablets. Fire tablets are a strong alter­na­tive to iPads in par­tic­u­lar because of their price point and because fam­i­lies can pur­chase a kids-only edi­tion of the Fire tablet. As a whole, we think Ama­zon strives to main­tain a very fam­i­ly-friend­ly approach to its tech­nol­o­gy. Ama­zon Prime TV, for exam­ple, offers a ded­i­cat­ed ​“Kids” sec­tion where chil­dren can inter­act with appro­pri­ate pro­gram­ming. Ama­zon also makes it very easy to lock down apps and con­tent via their parental controls. 

Final­ly, many fam­i­lies are already using Ama­zon in some way so adding Jel­lies through Ama­zon just makes a lot of sense. Jel­lies fits nice­ly with­in Amazon’s ecosys­tem, and we believe it’s the eas­i­est way to man­age a Jel­lies sub­scrip­tion. If you’re not famil­iar with the Ama­zon App­store, just fol­low our handy instruc­tions for installing Jel­lies to get started.

What's Next for Jellies?

We’re incred­i­bly hum­bled by your response to Jel­lies so far. Thou­sands of fam­i­lies are now trust­ing us with their kids’ screen time. We take that trust very seri­ous­ly, espe­cial­ly in light of the con­tin­ued issues with oth­er apps and web­sites for kids.

Android is not the final plat­form for Jel­lies. While we’ll con­tin­ue to release fea­tures on iOS and Android every month, we’re already work­ing on adding Jel­lies to addi­tion­al plat­forms and devices with much larg­er screen sizes. Our goal is to give you Jel­lies wher­ev­er you and your fam­i­ly need it. Con­tact us if you’ve like to see Jel­lies on anoth­er plat­form soon­er rather than later.
