"The Wiggles" is a self-titled AVOD app of the same name that was initially released as a Roku app in the United States on March 15, 2024[1] followed by the Fire TV app on March 19, 2024 globally[Note 1][2]. It was developed by LA's Future Today[3]. The AVOD app was originally slated to release sometime in December 2023 but it was delayed for unknown reasons (presumably due to the Master Slates being left in the TV series and specials but they were cut and removed from HappyKids later on in the same month).
The AVOD app consisted of OG/AG Wiggles contents as well as the spinoff contents and the 4th and 5th TV series of Ready, Steady, Wiggle! (the latter series premiered on Canadian television in September 2023 which was 6 months prior to the app's release). The app is said to feature exclusive contents yet the contents (albeit RSW!S4/S5) can already be found on HappyKids.

Note[]
- ↑ The fireTV app was originally Super Simple Songs before it was relaunched as a subscription-based fireTV service on February 1, 2024 (same name). As such, a message regarding its February 2024 relaunch can still be shown when clicking on a video (the error also applies to the Roku app).
- ↑ 5 episodes (Foodman, Murray's Shirt, The Party, Wiggle Opera and Funny Greg) are excluded from the service.
- ↑ 3 episodes (Dressing Up, Multicultural and Movement) are excluded from the service.
- ↑ 6 episodes (The Shimmie Shake, Hey Diddle Diddle, Hello!, See-Saw, Circus Fun and Smell Your Way Through the Day) are excluded from the service.
- ↑ Under the (former) cover art and (current) description of the 1998 remake.
- ↑ The special is listed twice under The Wiggles Movies section and as a Series 5 episode but under the title and cover art of "Would You Like to Dance With Me?". The latter copy of the special removed "The Mooche" song despite already on HappyKids and the branded app in the former section.
- ↑ First 10 episodes are available.
- ↑ Incorrectly spelled as "Skidamarink"
