Highbrow Unlimited
About
Highbrow Unlimited is a subscription video on demand platform of educational videos for children ages 1-11. On Highbrow Unlimited, we have videos covering everything you can imagine: Arts & Crafts, Science Experiments, Cooking, Phonics, Ballet, 24+ Foreign Languages, and much more beyond. With an Unlimited subscription, you can watch personalised, ad-free content on iOS, Android, Apple TV, LG TV, Samsung US, Comcast Xfinity and on the web.
Our aim is that every child should have their own unique Highbrow Unlimited experience, because every child is unique – whether they like Trains or Dragons, Football or Piano, or perhaps a mix of all four! Highbrow Unlimited has a library of over 16,000 video titles that are 100% educational. Not marketing ‘educational’ but truly educational. Our internal machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms dive into our deep library of content and serve up the best video recommendation for your child based on their age and interest – the more they use Highbrow Unlimited, the more personalised it becomes. This way, if Highbrow Unlimited learns that your child loves Dinosaurs, they most likely will learn Phonics, Letters, Numbers with dinosaurs, helping them to understand and retain every minute.
Our video library includes the following subjects:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Science
- Visual Arts
- Performing Arts
- Humanities
- Wellbeing
- Design and Technology
- Additional Needs
Highbrow Unlimited is part of the Highbrow suite of apps. All Highbrow apps are focused on being solely educational.

How do I download Highbrow videos to watch offline?
If you're a subscriber, you can download videos to watch offline in the Highbrow iOS app on long flights, car rides, and all the other places that the WiFi doesn't quite reach! To download a video, just press and hold on the video's thumbnail for about 3 seconds, and you'll see a menu allowing you to download just that video, or the entire shelf. You'll be able to view, manage, or remove the videos downloaded on a child's profile from the 'Downloads' icon on the hub:
Please note: Downloaded videos will generally remain viewable as long as you're subscribed to Highbrow, but you will need to open the app while online at least once every 14 days to keep them active.
General
The video stream is poorer quality than I expected. How do I correct this?
If your Highbrow videos are less than beautiful let's fix it! First, check your WiFi signal. Try moving closer to your wireless router or reconnecting to your WiFi. If this doesn't work, try closing the app and/or restarting the device.
