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.

Love this for my 4 and 8 year olds. Has settings for parental controls (time limits, video types, history, ect) and I can easily set a pass code and timer. Also, you sign in with your YouTube account, but nothing on there goes into your history. Great app. Would like for there to be a better way to block videos or categories of videos. And to show only certain videos. If you have kids ages 4 to 10 this app is perfect.

I have the app on both my phone and our smart TV. It is a great collection of kids videos for all ages. I do have a suggestions. For phone, it is simple to slide the bar back to the beginning, but I'd like to see a restart or start from beginning button for TV app. For phone, I'm able to subscribe to channels but not while on the TV app. For TV app, if the highlight could be another color or bolder, it would be easier to locate.

Decent, but needs some improvement. It's nice to have more control of what my child sees on YouTube. The parental controls are good. The video controls are lacking; rewind is a 10 second rewind, there is no option to start from the beginning. If you go back to watch a video that you had already watched halfway,you have to watch from the last watched part. The select highlight on the tv is white on pale blue, it is not easy to see.
