'Appy' Times for Boj - Hoppy Birthday No.1 in iPad Book charts
CBeebies preschool television programme Boj, created by BAFTA award winning Pesky Productions, is not only riding high in the ratings as the most watched children’s animation series in the UK, it is also enjoying huge success with its range of interactive and educational children’s apps.
‘Musical Mayhem’ won the 2015 iKids awards for ‘Best eBook’, whilst ‘Hoppy Birthday’ is currently No. 1 in the iPad Book charts and ‘Boj - The Collector’ is No.1 in the iPhone Book charts.
All three of the immersive interactive digital Appbooks, developed by Box of Frogs Media for Pesky Productions, feature the voice of legendary pop icon and actor Jason Donovan (Pops in the TV series) as the narrator, as well as original voices and songs from the series. They contain no in-app purchasing or external links, so parents can rest assured that their children are safe to explore the books with no nasty surprises! Parents can not only have fun with their children with a host of interactive and fun games and sing alongs but can also assist with their reading with a Read to Me and Read by Myself option.
Boj's great success in the app market continues with its first game – ‘Boj Digs’ from Thud Media – selling over 3,000 copies in its first 30 days of release. In addition, two of the latest apps – ‘Musical Mayhem’ & ‘Boj The Collector’ – have been awarded a 5 star rating by the Educational App Store (www.educationalappstore.com). This highly prized endorsement means Boj is now delivering approved educational products for children, so it's possible his trademark call to action will soon be heard in schools too, as teachers shout: "Let's Get Boj-ing!"
The Appbooks are available to download from the App Store for your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and from Google Play Store for Android devices priced at £1.49.
