Netflix "Just for Kids" on iPad lets children find their favorite shows and movies by swiping through a row of their favorite characters, many of which they will instantly recognize. In addition, "Just for Kids" displays rows of TV shows and movies organized by easy-to-understand genres such as sing-alongs, superheroes, princesses, dinosaurs and girl power, featuring clear and simple descriptions of the plot of each title.

Unique Netflix technology provides each member with a personalized "Just for Kids" experience based on taste and favorites.

In addition to iPad, Netflix "Just for Kids" is available on PCs and Macs, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Apple TV and certain Smart TVs, Blu-ray players and streaming media players. Other devices, including Android-powered tablets, are scheduled to follow this year.
