Free from ads and full of fun, DerElefant is a trusted, educational tool to inspire young minds while they play and learn.

User Reviews

DerElefant is praised for its engaging and educational content that children enjoy, especially for learning German. The app is user-friendly and well-liked by both kids and parents. However, multiple users report significant issues such as frequent video loading failures, app freezes, and crashes after updates. High data usage with no offline mode is a major drawback, especially during travel. Some users have privacy concerns over unclear permission requests. Fixing these technical problems and improving offline functionality would greatly enhance user experience.

Pros

Great educational content for children with a good balance of learning and fun.
Kid-friendly design and easy to use for young users.
Loved by children and helpful for learning German.
Free to use with a variety of content featuring popular characters like DerElefant and Die Maus.

Cons

Videos frequently do not load or the app freezes during playback, especially after recent updates.
High data consumption per video, lacking offline viewing capability, which frustrates users, especially during travel.
App crashes or freezes regularly and sometimes fails to reach servers.
Privacy concerns due to the app requesting permissions that users do not understand (e.g., access to photos, phone calls).

Die Sendung ist super aber leider funktioniert die App bei uns nicht. Mehrmalige Versuche die Videos abzuspielen blieben erfolglos. Generell scheint die App recht langsam.
