Fun at Home App was recently launched by Rogers Canada Ignite TV for kids. This is a new educational interactive app launched from  Toronto-based zone tv, which also has offices in Santa Monica, California.

According to Jeff Weber, CEO of zone·tv, “Starting with Fun at Home, we are responding to the needs of families coping with work from home and learn from home situations, where it is so important that family members are able to discover and engage in productive pursuits.”

Zone·tv brings interactive event-based channels to your television. Interactive channels provide hours of fun for the whole family with movies, sing-alongs, interactive games and more.

The Fun at Home app is available free for Rogers customers and debuts in Canada for the first time, exclusively on Ignite TV. It is being dubbed as an “edutainment-centric” interactive service for kids of all ages. Aside from education categories, there are various movies and casual games “designed to stimulate and train young minds.”

Rogers Ignite TV customers can access Fun at Home through the Apps Menu or by mentioning the app’s name on the Ignite TV voice remote.

Fun at Home is an “edutainment-centric” interactive service that’s safe and captivating for kids of all ages, with learning categories that include art, math, science, life skills, geography and history. The application also includes a selection of movies and highly interactive casual games designed to stimulate and train young minds.

Learn how to use the Download & Go feature of the Ignite TV™ app, which lets you download a program to watch on your mobile device.

Tap Saved. All your Ignite TV recordings and purchases will display.

You can tap the program you want to download. Once downloaded to your mobile device, the title will be “checked out” from the rest of your Ignite TV – so you can only access it on your device until you return the title to the Cloud.

Returning a program to your PVR removes it from your device and makes it available to watch TV or download on another device.
