My son is on the autistic spectrum and has trouble with impulse control. He loves watching kid shows, but is unable to stop himself from rewinding every 10 seconds. I want to have an app developed for him that allows him to watch whole videos.

* Design: Minimalistic interface
* Functionality:
    * Play videos sequentially within each folder.
    * Automatically resume videos from where they were last paused.
    * Restrict the ability to skip forward or backward within the video.
    * User can switch between different video folders and resume from the last watched position in any previously opened folder.
User Interface:
* Controls:
    * Volume control by user.
* Navigation:
    * Simple folder navigation without displaying video details to the user.

Compliance and Privacy:
