The ZDFtivi app offers a wide range of publicly available video-on-demand content tailored for children. Users can access beloved classics from children's television, including shows like "Löwenzahn," "1, 2 oder 3," "logo!," and various successful series such as "Mako – Einfach Meerjungfrau" and "Bibi Blocksberg." The app also features fairy tales and children's films, providing a comprehensive viewing experience for young audiences.
A key feature of the ZDFtivi app is the ability to watch videos offline, which allows users to save content for trips or times when internet access is limited. Most videos can be downloaded and viewed without a network connection, enhancing the app's convenience. Each child can have their own profile without the need for registration or a login, making it easy to switch between profiles within the app.
The app provides a child-friendly environment through the ZDFchen mode, which is specifically designed for children up to 6 years old, alongside the ZDFtivi mode that offers unrestricted access to all content. It includes a dedicated parents’ section where they can set app usage limits, manage profiles, and adjust privacy settings. Moreover, the app supports features such as AirPlay, a personalized watchlist, and quick access to children’s news, accommodating both learning and entertainment needs.
The ZDFtivi app is completely free of charge, ad-free, and does not incorporate in-app purchases, aligning with all ZDF's online offerings. It is designed to be a safe space for kids, with any comments moderated by the ZDFtivi team. The app is optimized for iOS 13 and above, but users should be aware that some content may only be accessible from Germany or the German-speaking region due to legal restrictions.
