Joining forces with APMC, one of the leading providers of kids’ on-demand media services is just another way GuestTek is bringing the best of interactive technologies to its guests worldwide.

“We think Kidoodle.TV is a terrific entertainment platform for kids and offers a much needed solution for our travelling families who want to relax and watch their favorite TV shows, movies and home videos in and around the hotel and on the devices of their choosing,” says GuestTek President and CEO, Arnon Levy, “Ultimately, our combined technologies let our guests enjoy a new experience that makes their stay that much more enjoyable.”

“What better way to share your trip with loved ones while still on your trip? Families can quickly and safely upload large video files that fill up phones and tablets and store them right into Kidoodle.TV using the hotel Wi-Fi. They can then watch or share their videos directly from the cloud,” says APMC Chief Product Officer, Neil Gruninger. “Families should never be without an opportunity to record and re-play those magical moments that happen on every trip. We want kids and family members to be the stars in their own lives and Family Moments gives them that opportunity.“
