A faith-first streaming service for kids with shows like VeggieTales and Adventures in Odyssey, plus family devotionals and Bible plans.
Our verdict
Minno, formerly JellyTelly, is a Netflix-style streaming service built for Christian families with young kids. Its catalog leans on trusted, familiar titles: more than 50 episodes of VeggieTales alongside Adventures in Odyssey, Bibleman, Owlegories, Dead Sea Squirrels, and more. Everything is curated and ad-free, so parents can hand over the tablet without bracing for surprise content or commercials.
The experience is genuinely well made. Kids get their own profiles, avatars, and watchlists; parents get age-appropriate controls; and the whole thing streams across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, with offline downloads for car rides and CarPlay audio for the road. It is the kind of safe, all-in-one media home that many faith-focused families are looking for, and its 4.5-star rating across roughly 1.7K App Store reviews reflects that.
The trade-offs are the price and the ceiling. After a 7-day free trial, full access runs $10.99 per month or $69.99 per year, which is a real commitment for what is largely preschool and early-elementary programming; older kids will outgrow much of it. The parent-facing devotional tools are also lighter than a dedicated app like Parent Cue. If you want free Bible content, the Bible App for Kids covers stories at no cost, and Yippee TV is a comparable paid alternative worth weighing.
