With the help of Dubai-based pay-TV network OSN, Nickelodeon has launched its free Nick Play app for iOS and Android across the MENA region.

Released on November 29, the app features both English and Arabic content and gives OSN subscribers exclusive access to full episodes of hit Nickelodeon shows.

The app includes more than a thousand pieces of Nick-themed content including original skits and sketches, short-form series, behind-the-scenes clips from Nick stars and animated characters, as well as new games that kids can discover instantly and on-demand.

It also features the popular Do Not Touch button that triggers random comedic bits.

Since its 2013 debut on iOS in the US, Nick Play has been downloaded more than 17 million times and has rolled out internationally across the UK, Latin America and, most recently, Australia.

OSN, which is owned and operated by Panther Media Group Limited, provides Nickelodeon HD exclusively throughout the region.
