This is the best app! It has cool videos and cool channels, but no Arimura Taishi or Makennah or klaskyklaskyklaskyklasky gummy bear song version, so I can make video-editing with it because I have capcut. I still love this better than youtube! update: Can you stop focusing on educational and focus more on entertainment? I can't find trainfan1055. can you add it on there?
I find this app completely unusable with functionality so limited I can't figure it out! After installation, I selected only a handful of videos and 1 channel. I had to go into my regular YTube to find the others. But now I can no longer add more vids to the home screen. ALSO I can share videos but there's no way to migrate those videos to the main list. AND even though I have the cast to TV feature on there's no button in the app to do that. AND no search bar to find specific vids.
It is useful with a lot of useless ads for kids. 1. I hope one day I can block certain users as the content of their videos is misleading. 2. It gets disabled on my honor x6 phone on a daily basis. Please make changes in this regard, if possible, in your future versions. Thanks. revised: October 4, 2025 Good job regarding add blocks for preschool kids. please do so for kids up to age 10. I am now changing my feedback from 1 🌟 to 3. when showing ads, one is enough, not multiple ads, which is 😡
I really like YouTube kids and it's parental control features, though I do need to put in more time tweaking it. We started using it when our kid was 2, and they're almost 5 now. You really need to pay attention. I was surprised that watching people play games like Minecraft and Roblox was viewable on general preschool settings. I'll be switching to approved channels only in the setting instead of allowing them to discover things on their own.
Very annoying for kids to navigate. I have search disabled, and approved a few channels. instead of just letting them click on channel profiles it throws a bunch of random videos on a page they have to endlessly scroll. I can't get to specific creators. for example if I approve baby panda, blippie, and level up: blippie may never show..it's just lost in a garbled mess of panda and level up. Nice that I can block unwanted content but otherwise horrible.
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!
I'm giving a one star review because I want YouTube to know that calling this app "kid friendly" is an absolute joke. I understand that it doesn't show explicit content, but that doesn't mean it is a shield from the internet. There are videos on there that show things that are provocative, massive amounts of innuendo, and a ridiculous amount of siphoning from ads to questionable sites. so please, make this app safer. it's more like YouTube training wheels then something you should give your kid.
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.
while it's easier to use and safer for kids, there are way more ads. In the morning there is an ad after every video. There are still a lot of videos where the title is in another language. I wish I could customize to only English videos for my 1 year old. There are still occassionally inappropriate videos which can easily be blocked or reported. My kids like to watch the same videos over and over but it almost never starts at the beginning.
Frustrated. I never had an account until today. My little is 2, and haven't had any issues. New issue, even after update, I don't know how it started, but I made an account. Now I can't cast to our Chromecast. It started on her tablet. I signed into her account from my phone (to see if it was just the device's issue), but now I can't cast from my phone either! So frustrating. I was able to cast just fine pre-profile. No wifi issues.
