Netflix updates iPad app with kids interface

Robin Wauters for The Next Web:

Video streaming giant Netflix today announced that it is bringing its “Just for Kids” viewing experience to the two latest versions of the iPad, with support for the original iPad and Android tablets coming ‘later this year’.

Netflix video streaming is very popular with the young people in my house. While they’re old enough that I’m not overly concerned with the content they view, if they were a few years younger, you can bet I’d be using this.

  1. My son (7) loves this on the PS3, Apple TV, etc and when he saw it on the iPad he was amped! It was like a whole new Netflix. lol.

    Definitely sets me at ease because he’s tired of seeing Chucky/(other scary movie posters) and I’m glad he doesn’t have to see them.

  2. without a by-line how do I know who you are? the “I’m”, “I’d”, etc are useless to me as a reader because i dont know which writer it’s coming from.

  3. Netflix “Just For Kids” on my AppleTV is pretty much what my 3 and 5 year olds think TV is. Glad to see it hit iPad. However, there is unfortunately no actual Parental Control built into this. So, my kids are just a few clicks away from Breaking Bad (Not that they really care – yet).
