Watching offline

Children could download cartoons to the device and watch them without a connection: on long journeys, or anywhere the internet did not reach.

Designed with pedagogues

Designed with pedagogues

The interface was developed with guidance from child-development specialists, who also prepared themed lists of videos and learning content on ideas such as the environment, honesty and sharing. The app carried no advertising.

Controls for parents

Controls for parents

A locked area for parents held three controls: a timer that put the app to sleep when the agreed time was up, a safe mode that limited children to favourite and downloaded videos, and a Wi-Fi-only mode to protect the data allowance.

Note

A historical project: Ratel built it for TRT. The screens show the product as it was at the time; it may have changed since. Since 2020, Ratel has made only its own apps. See our apps →
