Jel­lies is on a roll! With thou­sands of fun kids videos, and more added week­ly, plus a faster, more respon­sive app expe­ri­ence, the Jel­lies team con­tin­ues to take your feed­back to heart. Plus, there’s a lot more in store for Jel­lies in 2019. 

If you aren’t using Jel­lies yet, you’re miss­ing out! Here are the Top 4 rea­sons par­ents like you choose Jel­lies over oth­er kids video app alter­na­tives.

1. Jellies is a Commercialism-Free Zone for Kids

You won’t find unbox­ing videos, child celebri­ties, or toy play videos inside Jel­lies. You won’t even see a sin­gle ad! That’s because we didn’t want our own chil­dren beg­ging us for toys and act­ing out after watch­ing some of the more pop­u­lar videos on apps like YouTube. 

Instead of pro­mot­ing toys, Jel­lies videos teach chil­dren about the world around them and inspire them to try new activ­i­ties. We believe in build­ing up cre­ativ­i­ty, self-con­fi­dence, and imag­i­na­tion in chil­dren rather than using them for profit.

2. No Algorithms, Only Human Reviewers

Instead of rely­ing on algo­rithms, we go to great lengths to review every sin­gle video in Jel­lies. This allows us to deny ques­tion­able con­tent or over­ly com­mer­cial videos and make sure noth­ing inap­pro­pri­ate or scary sneaks its way into the app.

Our cura­tors fol­low strict guide­lines to make sure every video is Jel­lies qual­i­ty. To learn more about the types of videos that help your child learn and grow, check out our resource, What Kids Videos Are Right for My Child?

3. You Talk, We Listen

Jel­lies is pow­ered by com­mu­ni­ty. Many of the top­ics in Jel­lies are there because you reached out and request­ed them. In fact, the Jel­lies app as a whole is a prod­uct of par­ent feed­back. We high­ly val­ue your feed­back and work hard to incor­po­rate that in the app. 

2019 is an already look­ing to be an excit­ing year for Jel­lies based on all the fea­tures we have in store. A lot of them are things you asked for. So stay tuned, and keep in touch! 😄 You can con­tact us direct­ly through our sup­port por­tal, as well as on Face­book, Twit­ter, and Insta­gram.

4. Know What Your Children are Watching

Jel­lies gives par­ents full con­trol over what their chil­dren see in the app. In Par­ents Mode, par­ents get to select the top­ics that their chil­dren get access to. There’s cer­tain­ly plen­ty to choose from. Col­ors and shapes, to dump trucks and mon­ster trucks, to sharks and storms, you get to select your child’s favorites. 

To make things eas­i­er, par­ents have the abil­i­ty to bulk add top­ics based on their child’s age. We cat­e­go­rize all top­ics by the fol­low­ing age ranges: 2 – 4, 4 – 6, 6 – 8, 8+. Choose to add all top­ics for 2 – 4 year olds with a sin­gle tap or select spe­cif­ic top­ics from that list, it’s up to you!

Once you’ve select­ed some top­ics, your chil­dren get access to those in a sep­a­rate, safe Kids Mode. There they have the free­dom to explore all of their top­ics and videos with­out stum­bling into any­thing they shouldn’t.
