Nickelodeon Bows Nick Jr. App for Apple Watch

Nickelodeon launched the Nick Jr. app for the Apple Watch, enabling better parental controls for the preschool app on the iPhone, the company said Tuesday. When the Apple Watch is used in tandem with the Nick Jr. app for iPhone, parents will be able to manage screen time via a timer, supervise their child’s activities on the phone and regulate the volume settings, it said. “These watch functions are extensions of the user’s iPhone experience and can be accessed by tapping on the Nick Jr. icon on the watch.” Additional features include the ability of parents to see at a glance what kids are watching in the app at any given moment, it said.
