About this app

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

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

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

Rewatch videos and bond over favourites
Quickly find your children's favourite videos and the content that you've shared with them in the 'Watch it again' tab.

Shape your children's viewing experience with parental controls
Parental control features help you limit what your children 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 children to take a break in between exploring content. Use the 'Timer' feature to freeze the app when screen time is up so that your children can apply their new skills to the real world.

The updated versions are worst than the outdated to be honest. Before the updates, you could view the kids channels subscriptions (now you can't), you could review the blocked content and select if you wanted to unblock a specific one (now, the only option is unblock all) and I still believe their should be options as to what would you like for the algorithm to appear and what not. Like for example, we don't celebrate Halloween and there is no option to restrict those content from appearing.

I liked the option that you can choose specifically what videos or video channels appear to your kids. But what I don't like during casting a video on the TV, that if you're at the mid-point of a long video, and my kid asks me to start it over, I have to click on the backward botton using the remote control and wait for a long time. You cannot start the video over in one click.

I would have given this 4 stars in the past (pretty awesome, minor complaints), but when I tried to use it today, I can no longer custom choose my child's content, I can only choose recommended videos by age group. I'm super disappointed since that was really the whole point of the app for me. There's also no control for language in the settings. So if you want to add videos in another language (or are on vacation internationally) you are out of luck.
