Reviews for PBS KIDS Video

amazing free app with the best educational and wholesome shows!! should continue to be publicly funded!!

My daughter loves this app. It’s great for kids to learn skills!! She is so obsessed with it. I give her an hour on it to keep balanced on Saturdays 😂😂 She is eleven years old and still loves Pbs kids!! As a parent, I would say download it Now!!!

Horrible. As soon as you open the app it starts playing an episode of a show (with audio). I can’t find a way to turn off that feature and don’t need a random episode of a random show to play while I’m just looking for something for my child to watch. I might try to […]

very good 👍 for children & adults learning English.

currently glitches out where it keeps crashing, good otherwise. fix this asap

I wish I had a search bar so I could find my kid a show, on top of that I wish I could pick older episodes.

edit: they fixed my issue! my only issue now is that auto play can’t be turned off. Tried watching downloaded videos on three different devices for four different flights with no success. It seems to want a connection even when trying a downloaded video on airplane mode.

it has terrible 😔 videos for adults and teens like what it should have YouTube videos too. and the limited download space you can only have 25 videos downloaded. I had a trip and there was no Internet and my 5year old daughter hated the videos she was crying none stop then she threw up. […]

I knocked a star off my rating because the new UI is hard to navigate, but otherwise, this is a great app. The shows are funny (usually). Content can feel a bit uninspired, especially with shows for kids ages 2-5. A mini suggestion for PBS: Add more shows for older kids.

The winter window was awesome! Please make another like it. It helps my kids fall asleep. Preferably a fireplace yule log if possible. Thank you.

Great content for kids, there’s nothing here I feel uncomfortable with my kid watching. All educational and high quality material. I don’t know why we’re not funding this.

I’m so glad that this app exists! with everything going on with… other online video watching platforms… I was so worried I wouldn’t have something the kids I work with could watch safely! I’m so glad that I can support PBS and have something educational for the kids to watch.

amazing great app, but they recently added auto play and it is a nightmare for my kiddo. he can’t navigate it at all because there is no way to stop the auto play and the sound confuses him. he is 5 with ADHD. he hates it now :(. hopefully they will fix soon.

I don’t know what they have changed in the app in the last year or few months but now the closed captions are very faint and can’t be seen. And there is no obvious mechanism for adjusting it either which is highly disappointing

Edit: Changing to 5 stars to show my support for this public broadcasting organization. Would be 5 stars if you were able to turn off autoplay. It’s available on the regular PBS app. Im sure why it wouldn’t be on the children’s version.

Just downloaded this app and immediately hated the functionality. The first thing that I found irritating right away is the autoplay, it’s very distracting and does not have an option be turned off. The next thing is the lack of a search feature, my kids love very specific shows and to be able to locate […]

I just love the new show Weather Hunters, there just something about it that is relaxing n educational all at the same time. not only that but the family just gets along, on other shows there’s always some kind of arguing or disagreement but not on this show, they help each other n lift each […]

Can’t watch downloaded content without wifi anymore. We used to download episodes of my daughter’s favorite shows to watch when we don’t have wifi we can use, but now it isn’t possible to watch them without having a wifi connection. We love this app, can we please bring this function back?

I have always enjoyed this app with my kids. But recently my only frustration that I now have is the auto play on the main page. I normally scroll down to find the show that we look for and the autoplay audio will at least stop. But lately the autoplay will continue over the show […]

This is a fantastic app and it’s used a lot by our five year old. My only issue is the data usage. When we first started using it there was an option for lower quality video vs. HD to reduce data use when you were on your network plan. That option has been taken out […]
