With the ZDFtivi app, a variety of popular children's series and children's films from the ZDFtivi and KiKA programs are available on mobile. Like all ZDF online offerings, the ZDFtivi app is ad-free, without in-app purchases and free of charge.

The app is available for smartphones, tablets and Android TV.

- The app is a safe space for children. Comments (optional) are checked by the ZDFtivi team and only released after moderation.

- A flat rate makes sense for use outside of a WLAN, as otherwise high connection costs can be incurred.

- For legal reasons, some ZDFtivi programs can only be accessed online as video in Germany or in German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) (geoblocking). A list of all programs available worldwide can be found here: https://www.zdf.de/kinder/ueber-zdftivi/zdftivi-weltweit-100.html
