BodhiOS

Description

Before my eldest son was really able to operate the full breadth of controls on a tablet, but after 18 months when he was allowed a bit of screen time per day I found the market lacking a solution.

I wanted a youtube kids that was even more limited, in both content and in tailored controls. I wanted him to get to view pictures and videos from his own family and friends as well as some of the YT content we thought was appropriate for him at that age.

And because he was doing this in the car mostly and we wouldn't have wifi and we wouldn't be able to help him if he got lost on the wrong screen or exited the app, we needed it offline and toddler proof.

BodhiOS is the high functioning prototype that worked for us.
