Jitterbug.tv: First Subscription Music Service Geared Toward Children

  • A new iPad app from LA-based Jitterbug.tv is providing children and their parents with kid-friendly access to music content, both audio and video.
  • The subscription-based service will target an audience aged 2-7 years old and will include music and videos from popular kids artists such as “23 Skidoo, The Jimmies, Laura Veirs, Milkshake Music, The Verve Pipe (yes, they’re a kids’ band now), Recess Monkey, and Gustafar Yellowgold,” details TechCrunch.
  • “The app is reminiscent of another one we briefly reviewed, called Happly for iPad,” explains the post. “Like Happly, the new Jitterbug app serves up a curated selection of videos, but Happly is focused on more educational fare pulled from YouTube, which it combines with other content, like stories and games. Jitterbug, meanwhile, is all about the music.”
  • The app is free to download and try for 15 days, but then costs $3.99 per month. Ad-free music will be accessible via the iPad or the Web.
  • “Revenue generated through the app is shared with the artists featured on the platform,” explains TechCrunch. “In other words, it’s not just a slapped together selection of stuff from YouTube.”
