Toca Boca has released 44 digital toys that have been downloaded more than 275 million times around the world, making it the No. 1 paid app publisher in the App Store. Various applications developed include:
"Helicopter Taxi", the first application released by Toca Boca, was a digital toy that integrated augmented reality effects. Using a device's camera, the player designates six horizontal surfaces in reality as "The Beach," "The Tall Building," "The Factory," "The Hospital,"
and "The Hangar." The physical locations do not need to match the landing description, however, and the surfaces for landing do not need to be exact or consistent. The toy's characters consist of two pilots and five passengers, and the objective is to pick up as well as bring the passengers to their destination by moving about with the device to simulate the helicopter flying.
This game was later discontinued.
The second application released by Toca Boca, "Toca Tea Party", imitates a tea party, primarily through roleplaying. The player is able to design their table by selecting the tablecloth, dishes, music, and drinks. Interactions such as "eating," "drinking," "spilling," and "cleaning up" exist. Party guests may consist of toys and/or people with the touch screen support for multiple users simultaneously.
"Toca Kitchen" allows the player to interact by choosing how to prepare a food (slice, boil, blend, etc.) in order to feed one of the four characters. Each character has his or her own preferences of ingredient and style, evident through the character's reactions and willingness to eat a product. Food can be obtained infinitely many times and there are few limits to the number of times a food can be processed.
Toca Life is a series of games that encourage the player to imagine stories
for characters in the game. The player can drag the character around
the screen with their finger and make him/her eat, sit, etc. In the series, there
are different locations the character could go to based on the game's
theme. (Town, Farm, Office, etc.) There are groups such as Kids, Elders, Babies, and Creatures. The player can add more than one
character to a scene. Dressing up the characters was introduced in "Toca Life: City".
"Toca Life: World" was released in November 2018—it connected all of the existing standalone "Toca Life" apps into one interconnected universe. It is free to download, and players are invited to play the free version (which comes with Bop City, as well as the free version of a character creator), or to customize the app with whatever options they find the most interesting.
If a player already purchased any of the "Toca Life" games, then they will have access to those apps within "Toca Life: World". Players can play with the characters from the individual "Toca Life" apps inside any of the "Toca Life: World" locations.

The term "digital toy" is sometimes used to differentiate certain apps from more typical virtual games. While most aspects between the two are the same, Toca Boca distinguishes digital toys as more "open-ended" with fewer rules. However, neither are thought nor proven to have a more or less harmful or beneficial impact on players. While these "digital toys" are aimed towards children, it does not mean they are just for children.

Pop (British and Irish TV channel)
Pop (stylised as POP) is a British free-to-air children's television channel owned by Narrative Capital. Its target audience is 4 to 9-year-old children.
Pop was originally launched on 1 October 2002 by CSC Media Group as Toons & Tunes. Toons and Tunes was then later re-branded as Pop in May 2003.
In Pop's early years, links were presented by Rorry, a lime green dragon with a Scottish accent, who was animated live. He was accompanied by Purrdy, a dragon/cat hybrid who also appeared in the original Tricky programme on ITV.
Originally, the network focused on music videos, with animated programming also part of the schedule, but with the numerous music video network options on British television at the time, this focus was quickly abandoned in 2004, when the animated content became much more prominent. Music videos continued to be carried on and off until 2007, before eventually being abandoned entirely.
In September 2020, Pop changed its on-air identity, and on the same day, "" and "" made their debut.
The channel sources its programming from multiple independent studios.
On 20 March 2014, Pop was launched on Freeview. Prior to April 2016, Pop was only available in areas where there is a local TV channel. On 1 April 2016, Pop moved to a wider coverage nationwide freeview mix, becoming available to over 90% of the country. The capacity vacated by Pop on the local multiplex was used to transmit Kix from 7 April 2016. Pop +1 moved to LCN channel 128, to release 127 for use by Kix, but was otherwise unaffected, continuing to broadcast locally to Manchester only.
Pop programming in addition to content from sister channels POP MAX and Tiny POP are available to stream on demand from the free TV service and mobile app POP Player
A time shift feed called Pop +1 was available until 2008, when it was replaced by Kix!; in turn, that network's +1 feed was discontinued on 14 July 2014 with Pop +1's return.
On 4 May 2017, Sony Pictures Television Networks launched an Italian version of Pop as their first Italian free-to-air offering, with a similar line-up of programming to the UK channel. The network closed alongside its sister channel Cine Sony on 11 July 2019, after Mediaset purchased both network slots from Sony. Pop's old slot would be used for Boing Plus.
The Pakistani version of Pop is operated by Edutainment (Pty.) Ltd. under the license of Sony Pictures Television.
