The all new Amazon Kindle FreeTime is now available in an unlimited package that comes with a subscription package for all prime subscribers of the Kindle Fire Family.
After the release of Kindle Freetime, Amazon announced the launch of Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, which will be an optional part of subscription package for all prime subscribers of the Kindle Fire Family. This unlimited package has been priced at $2.99 per child or $6.99 for the whole family. Prime members can get unlimited access to many popular kids' titles. Customers that are not yet a prime member can pick up the subscription for $4.99 per child or $9.99 per family, monthly.
Parents see this as a good opportunity to allow kids to choose what they want to watch or browse by themselves without parents having to worry about receiving a huge bill at the end of the month.
"As a parent it's hard to predict what my daughter is going to enjoy, or which movie she's going to watch 50 times in a row-so I buy a range of content and hope for the best-but I get it wrong frequently," said Peter Larsen, Vice President, Amazon Kindle, according to engadget. "FreeTime Unlimited gives kids the freedom to explore age-appropriate content on their own and pick for themselves what they want to watch, play or read next. For as little as $2.99 a month, your child will have unlimited access to thousands of popular books, games, educational apps, movies and TV shows from Disney, Nickelodeon, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, PBS, Sesame Workshop and more."
Kindle FreeTime Features the most popular kids' games including Disney's bestselling Where's My Water? and Where's My Perry?, as well as Fruit Ninja Puss N' Boots, and popular early development games like Kids Learn to Read, My First Puzzles Dinosaurs and SUPER WHY. Other entertainment features like movies from Barney, Thomas & Friends, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam and Angelina Ballerina, as well as TV shows like Sesame Street, Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, Arthur and Garfield, reports 'engadget.'
"Millions of parents trust Common Sense Media's ratings and reviews to find quality media for their kids, and we're excited to work with Amazon to inform a great deal of the selections available in Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, making this a great choice for parents," Amy Guggenheim Shenkan, President and COO of Common Sense Media told 'engadget.' "We also endorse FreeTime Unlimited's ad-free environment and blocking of in-app purchases for kids as we know from experience that these features will make parents more comfortable."
