    I LOVE that I can watch some of the older cartoons from the 70's & 80's, when we grew up in Germany! We watch when our grandchildren come over, and sometimes without them.

    Sehr schöne App für Kinder.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for learners outside Germany
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2017
    As other reviewers have noted, many of the TV programmes listed in the index are not available to viewers outside Germany due to rights issues. However, I find this app useful for programmes like logo (news for kids), Pur, and Krasse Kolosse, which are available in full. Great for adults learning German who want to practise their comprehension skills on speech less complex than that used by adults.

    4.0 out of 5 stars komisches Bildformat, das ruckeln bekommt man in der Einstellung bildqualität weg
    Reviewed in Germany on October 11, 2017
    Habe mir die App auf den Fire Stick geladen da meine Tochter immer mal gerne Biene Maja schaut.
    Die Suchfunktion funktioniert super, auch so ist alles übersichtlich. Wir haben versucht eine Folge Biene
    Maja zu schauen, schon fing es nach 2 Minuten an das alles geruckelt hat. Habe mir dann mal die Einstellung
    (Rädchen) angeschaut und die Bildqualität runter gesetzt und es ruckelt jetzt nicht mehr. Das Bild sieht trotzdem
    noch toll aus und man kann alles gut erkennen, denke mal ist dann SD und kein HD mehr.

    Das Format des Bildes ist schon etwas eigenartig, aber den Kids stört es nicht wirklich und eine Einstellung habe
    ich bis jetzt deswegen auch nicht gefunden. Ansonsten eine gute app wo man immer mal wieder rein schaut was
    es interessantes gibt.
