Vine Introduces Brand new iPhone app Aimed at Children

[RaduTyrsina]

Vine is a short video-sharing service that Twitter acquired in 2011. Now the company has announced a brand new iPhone app aimed at the little ones. Called Vine Kids, it makes use of animated characters and allows kids to watch videos that are appropriate for their age. Vine said the following on the official blog:

We’ve seen for ourselves – and heard from parents, siblings and others – that kids love Vine. So, we built Vine Kids, a simple new app that gives young children a fun way to watch Vines.

Through adorable animated characters, kids can watch videos that are appropriate for a young audience. Swiping right or left shows a new Vine, and you can tap the screen to hear quirky sounds.

The idea for an app came after one of Vine team members realized how much his two-year-old daughter enjoyed watching funny Vines.

The idea came about during an office conversation in early January. One of my colleagues was talking about how much his two-year-old daughter loves Vine –– he said he wished there was a separate app she could use to more easily watch posts that are appropriate for kids. That week happened to be Hack Week, a time when we get to work on projects outside of our day-to-day work. So two folks teamed up and built exactly that. Here’s a Vine of my co-worker’s daughter using the app. How can you resist that smile?!

Vine Kids is already available on the iTunes store for free, so go ahead and follow the link from below to download it.
