Bringing the Small Screen to your Device

The Boj app manages to bring all the joys of the small screen, your TV, straight to your mobile device. Now kids can enjoy entertainment on the go even if you don't have a TV around. The app is based on the CBeebies animated series called "Boj" which is also quite the hit. Here all of Boj's friends are busy practicing their Cloppity Concerto in order to perform at the Giggly Gig, which will be taking place at the park. The problem occurs when Denzil accidentally damages his guitar putting their performance on the line. Not to worry because Boj steps in to teach him about improvisation.
