| 2024-11-21 |  | | Absolutely OVERLOADED with WAY TOO MANY INAPPROPRIATE VIDEOS even if you block/report each video or channel. It doesn't matter if you set restrictions or not. There will continue to be videos that are COMPLETELY NON-AGE APPROPRIATE. The majority of the videos/channels are not in the language of what you have it set to. There are some channels/videos you can find and SEVERAL others you can't find. Overall, I don't recommend using this app for your kids. There's not enough restrictions. |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | I have plenty of negative things I could say but I'm going to try to say something closer to encouragement. My little one enjoys the app very much. It is easy for her to navigate and watch content that she is compelled to watch more frequently. There is of course, questionable content at times but I usually skip the video for her if I find it may not be suitable. Kinda wonder sometimes why there isnt more fresh content but I try to keep perspective...it's not easy to make content. Thank you. |
| 2024-10-04 |  | | While it's a great concept on paper, the poor level of parental controls available makes it challenging to weed out certain videos. I would like a keyword block feature that prevents videos with that listed keyword from popping up. The only reason it isn't one star is because I do appreciate the app timer. You guys have some work to do. Thank you |
| 2024-09-28 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-05-27 |  | | Love this app, but the new changes make it difficult to look for certain videos. I like how they had it set up before, where you were able to view all the channels on one page. You can't go to one specific channel like before, I can add new channels and not be able to find any of the videos. You're stuck watching the same recommended videos. Please put the channels on display again. |
| 2024-03-10 |  | | I used to have this app a while ago, and then it worked pretty well, but now, every time I try to open it, all I get is a white screen. I've tried multiple things like undownloading it, restarting my phone, and even deleting others' apps because I thought it could be a storage problem. And it's not my internet either besides that. It used to be a pretty decent app, could add more mature videos though EDIT: now it does work pretty well, as if now EDIT2: have to delete data to get it to work- tip |
| 2024-02-22 |  | | Currently (as of 2/21/24) app is glitching and will NOT fully open. It is getting stuck at the "choose a kid" screen. It will put a message up that states "there was a problem, try again later". It will go to the main screen temporarily, but then switches back the the choose a kid screen when you click on a video. I have turned phone off and on again several times, and have deleted and re-installed app, but nothing is working. |
| 2024-02-09 |  | | This app is exceptional for providing specific content for your child/children. You can add entire channels, and they update on their own when new content is available. It's incredibly user-friendly and very well designed. You can pick all of the shows they like the most so they won't get upset from clicking on one they don't like by accident. The best part is that commercials are basically nonexistent. And when they do occur its super brief, and it's a kids' commercial. |
| 2024-01-01 |  | | It's an ok app. For one YouTube, kids don't have a lot of ads, so that's awesome! You might get one or two between programs, but that's it. No complaints there. I do have a major issue with the app, though. I have a two year old, and she's great with phones and tablets. She loves the freedom to select her own tv shows, but sometimes, when I block a video or a channel, somehow, it ends up back in her feed. What's the point of blocking videos if they just keep coming back? This is an issue. |
| 2023-10-15 |  | | It's fine with it works but frequently it'll cause my kids to meltdown. Sometimes it'll reset and I'll have to set it up again. Other times it'll randomly delete all their downloaded videos. We often use this app in the car and when they don't have downloaded videos, they get upset because they can't watch anything in the car. And once (so far), the videos disappeared in the middle of a car ride, so my kid was enjoying videos and then suddenly there were no downloads. I wish they would fix this! |
