Austin PBS, KLRU-TV Recommended Apps & Links
This is not a complete list of apps that come from the public television universe – there are tons! The apps and bookmarks on these pages are those we have chosen, from PBS and elsewhere, because we think they’re high-quality resources for learners of all ages 2 and above, and because they connect to Austin PBS, KLRU-TV shows or community events.
Apps can be found in several ways: by visiting pbskids.org/mobile or the sites of specific shows. You can also go to the iTunes store, Android Market, or Amazon, and search using “pbs” or by the names of shows. Have a great app to recommend to us (especially free ones)? Send an email to bkramer@klru.org and we’ll check it out!
