The short video app market is experiencing a surge in activity. With the success of TikTok and Instagram Reels, it seems that everyone is clamoring to introduce their own version of the short video formats. It was only natural that eventually a kid-focused version of the app would enter the game, and it seems that the kid-focused short video app Zigazoo has just released a direct competitor to TikTok specifically made with Gen Z in mind.
Zigazoo is a kid-friendly platform designed to foster creativity in a safe and secure way. It is the first app of its kind dedicated to serving the needs of Gen Z by providing games, videos, audio stories, and other interactive elements for kids to participate in. The app is aimed at helping kids find their voice, explore their creativity, and discover new interests.
What makes Zigazoo different from TikTok is its focus on empowering kids to create a safe and positive environment for themselves. All content is curated by highly trained moderators who ensure that the tone, content, and recommendations are appropriate for kids’ age and maturity level. There are also tools available to users to help their parents moderate the content their kids are interacting with, giving parents added peace of mind.
The focus on safety and content moderation might give Zigazoo an advantage over TikTok, especially since it made the transition to Gen Z consumption more palatable to parents with its strict content policies. With such stringent measures, parents can rest easy that their kids are creating content within a safe and secure environment.
As more kids transition to the app, however, it remains to be seen whether Zigazoo can achieve mainstream success or if it will be relegated to a niche market. The app features plenty of innovative features that could be a big draw for kids, like their “Go Pro” program that allows kids to get rewarded for their content with real-world prizes.
It will be interesting to see what kind of engagement Zigazoo is able to generate and if it can capture a large enough foothold in the short video app market. Whatever the outcome, it’s clear that kid-focused short video apps are becoming more mainstream and it’s likely we’ll see more of them in the future.
