The built-in PBS KIDS Game App provides a seamless
experience for kids by offering one-time game loading without
load screens and local caching on a per-game basis. This
eliminates the need for persistent internet connectivity and
loading screens after the initial delivery.
Games are cached locally in device storage until the app
reaches a predetermined size limit (default of 500MB) which
can be set by the grownup (up to 2GB).
Why do I need to re-download some games?
1. As kids download new games the oldest games will be
uncached. This allows for kids to continuously play and keep
their most current games without having to worry about
device storage or management. If they would like to play
and keep a game that has been uncached, they just need to
download it again.
2. The amount of games downloaded exceeded the
predetermined size limit set by the app (default 500MB).
When this happens kids can still play those downloaded
games during that session, however when they leave the
Game App, those games exceeding the limit will need to be
re-downloaded.
