About this app

Inspire your kids to uncover their unique interests
Help your kids explore video content they love and parents trust, in an app made just for kids. With easy navigation tools and a suite of features, you can help your kids spend time online uncovering new interests, unleashing their imagination, and building their confidence in their own unique world.

Help your kids grow at their own pace
Your kids are unique, so they should only see content they're ready to explore. Decide what videos will help them make the most of their time online, then personalize individual profiles using custom content filters as they grow.

- Help your youngest kids learn their ABCs, nurture their curiosity, and more in the Preschool mode.
- Expand your kids interests to songs, cartoons, or DIY crafts in Younger mode.
- Give your older kids the freedom to search popular music and gaming videos in Older mode.
- Or hand-pick the videos, channels, and collections your kids can see in Approved Content Only mode.

Rewatch videos and bond over favorites
Quickly find your kids’ favorite videos and the content you’ve shared with them in the Watch it Again tab.

Shape your kids’ viewing experience with Parental Controls
Parental Control features help you limit what your kids watch and better guide their viewing experience. Our blocking process aims to help keep videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and safe – but each family's preferences are unique. Don't like a video or channel, or see inappropriate content? Flag it for our team to review.

Set a screen-time limit
Encourage your kids to take a break in between exploring content. Use the Timer feature to freeze the app when screen time is up so your kids can apply their new skills to the real world.

Like that so far, it only shows appropriate videos for kids. Not user-friendly with swipe controls. Trying to exit app on my pixel 8 is a nightmare. I usually just end up scrubbing the timeline of the player or returning to the pick a video screen. Also, you can't download hand-picked videos. The app will download what it wants when It wants with no way to change it.

There should be a serch option just for the chosen songs and videos, so you can find something particular, but the moment you exclude the restofYouTube (which you must, because otherwise lots of stuff you didn't want ends up in the algorithm), you can't search for specific videos. This is a problem when a kid wants Baby Shark specifically, but I can't find it.

If it's supposed to be a child friendly app, you should be able to lock the video (like the normal YT version) so that your child can't scroll onto something else. There is also a lot of rubbish on it, although it's classed as child friendly there's a lot of stuff I don't want my child viewing and there doesnt seem to be much parental control in place to help with this.
