Amazon has launched a new service for Kindle Fire and Fire HD owners called Kindle FreeTime Unlimited. This is an extension of the Kindle Fire feature, Kindle FreeTime, which allows parents to activate parental controls and set time limits on their child’s screen activity.
This service, designed for ages 3-8, provides a pre-sorted selection of TV shows and games from big names such as Disney, Nickelodeon, Marvel, Sesame Street, and more. Amazon has built up a robust collection of apps and TV shows in their appstore and video library.
Kindle FreeTime Unlimited is a monthly service. For Prime members it is $2.99 a month for one child, or $6.99 a month for the whole family. For non Prime members it is just a few dollars more a month. New Kindle Fire owners get one month for free.
Since the internet is so easily available these days, it is tough to monitor what kids watch or do online. Kindle FreeTime Unlimited is age-appropriate from the get-go, so there’s no need to worry about your child coming across something they aren’t supposed to be watching. Individual profiles can also be set up so that every member of the family can have their own content on the same device. Learn how to open JPG file.
Kindle FreeTime Unlimited will download as part of an upcoming over-the-air Kindle Fire software update. The best part about the unlimited service is that there’s no need to worry about accidental in-app downloads to run up the monthly bill. But at the same time, the parents still have the ability to set time limits using the original Kindle FreeTime features.
So, if you have the new Kindle Fire or Fire HD, keep an eye out for this new feature coming out soon. This is something that can be both fun and educational for the whole family to enjoy.
