BrainPOP Apps


Mobile Learning-Ready
There's An App for You!
Remember - whether your students use Apple, Android, or Chrome mobile devices, there's now an app for them! This summer, we celebrated the launch of our BrainPOP Jr. Movie of the Week app for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch ... plus the Android debut of all our apps!

Within a week of its launch, the BrainPOP Jr. Movie of the Week iOS app was featured as "New and Noteworthy" in the iTunes App Store, and earned a spot among the top two free apps in the Education Category there. The app delivers a different BrainPOP Jr. movie every Monday, plus related bonus features, free! Like BrainPOP Jr., the app is designed for and easily navigable by kids in grades K-3. It's also fully accessible for the visually impaired and closed captioned for the hearing impaired. If you've already got a BrainPOP Jr. username, you can log in directly from the app and access all BrainPOP Jr. topics at no additional cost. 

Android users, get the BrainPOP Jr. Movie of the Week app, the BrainPOP Featured Movie app and/or the BrainPOP Español Película del Día app (all free) on Google Play! And feel free to share your thoughts in a review.
