BrainPOP uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 12 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.
30-day history
12-day clean streakReachability by region
Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What BrainPOP does
BrainPOP makes short animated explainer videos with quizzes and activities for K-12 classrooms. Teachers assign topics across science, maths, social studies and English, and students watch a film then complete the follow-up quiz. Schools license it across a district and often build lesson time around it, so an interruption lands in the middle of a class period.
What an outage looks like
Videos fail to load or quizzes will not submit, and single sign-on from a school portal can fail while the site itself is reachable. BrainPOP reports its subject and language editions separately, so BrainPOP Jr., ELL, Science, Espanol or Francais can fail on their own. The iOS Apps component is separate again, so tablets can break while browsers keep working.
What to do about it
Check status.brainpop.com and look for the edition your class uses, since BrainPOP, BrainPOP Jr., BrainPOP ELL, BrainPOP Science, BrainPOP Espanol, BrainPOP Francais and iOS Apps are reported individually. If only iOS Apps is affected, move the lesson to a browser. If every row reads operational, check your district content filter and sign-on provider before assuming BrainPOP is at fault.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?

How we measure this
- We request BrainPOP's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where BrainPOP publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
