What Hopster is
Hopster is an ad-free app for children aged 2–6, bringing together preschool shows, games, books, and songs. Its content is intended to support literacy, numeracy, social-emotional learning, and creativity, and includes exclusive Hopster Originals. Children can use the app on Android, iOS, and the web, and download favourite shows, games, and songs for travel. Hopster presents its content in a child-navigable tropical island environment. Video viewing is paced with limited autoplays, alternating videos with a book or game, and a suggestion to try another activity after three consecutive episodes. Parents can receive a monthly report on what children watch, read, and play. Hopster offers a seven-day free trial; its pricing model is paid and there is no free plan. Subscription prices vary by selected plan and region, and subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Hopster is the trading name of Plato Media Limited, founded in 2013 and based in London, United Kingdom. Its privacy policy says the apps comply with COPPA and that payment providers handle financial data.
