Where do I get popular apps like Netflix or PBS Kids?
KidiBuzz™ is an Android device, so it's compatible with most Android apps. However, you won't find the apps you're most familiar with in Learning Lodge® because the apps in Learning Lodge® have been specifically chosen by our team of learning experts for their age-appropriate and educational content. If you want a broader selection of apps, follow the instructions below to install the Amazon Appstore.
Warning: The apps in the Amazon Appstore are not reviewed by VTech and may contain content that is inappropriate for children. They may also contain in-app advertising and may allow your child to make purchases depending on your parent control settings within that app store.
