YouTube Kids

Great app that I can trust my children to be on without coming across anything inappropriate or changing any settings. Its very simple for them to use independently, making it easy for them to switch videos and remain on the app without accidently closing it out, saving us from many meltdowns. My only problem is how easy it is for them to cast their videos onto other devices. There have been many times baby shark has abruptly appeared on my smart TV in the middle of my shows! Lol

Terrible "kids" videos. Mostly crappy home videos of other people's kids running around with music in the background, weird videos of adults talking in child-like voices with finger and sock puppets, etc. Just a lot of awful junk. Plus you can't pick favorite videos or subscribe to channels. The only positives of this app is that it's easy for my one year old to operate and there aren't a ton of ads. Other than that, stick to the regular YouTube app.

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.

I LOVE this app! It's got most of my favorite YouTubers on it, and I also love the timer feature! (If you didn't know there's a little lock thing that lets the parents type in a code or do a math problem and they can set up a timer for up to an hour! That's a long time!) Also, the ads are so short and you basically never see them! I do wish there was a way of downloading videos though.

Unable to enter my birth year on lock screen. When I press on the data entry points, no keypad appears, so I can't enter my birth year. Unable to activate app. Edit: it turns out that the data entry keypad is only visible in landscape mode. This is a terrible user interface, there is no clue that there is something off screen in portrait mode which is the way 90% of people will use it on their phone. Upgrading to two stars.

Would be a five star rating, because my daughter loves it. However, it has stopped working. Freezes on the red screen after the opening music. I sent a message to the developer, and have not gotten a response yet, but it's still pretty early. Hoping this can be fixed soon, as allowing her to navigate regular Youtube can be a harrowing experience. I will edit this review upon bug fix.

I really appreciate the reasons why this app was created but there some functionality issues that prevent us from moving over to YT Kids. The app can only be used horizontally / landscape mode. Which makes it very hard to search for content. When looking at and for content there isn't a way to make favorite videos or subscribe to a channel. Or at least I didn't see an easy way to do this. Additionally the In App music and animations upon opening are a bit annoying.

Keeps getting disabled! I am experiencing the same problem lots of people are seeing. Several times a day the app will disable itself and I have to go into the Play store to reenable it. I've read some years old posts about this and tried those suggestions but they haven't helped. This is a Samsung Tab A 2017. We bought 2 identical ones from Amazon this Xmas and 1 has the issue while the other does not. We have this app on older tablets with no issues. Please advise me on what to do.

I like how there's no ads. My problem is that I can't create playlists or save videos offline. I have two toddlers and I would like the flexibility of letting them watch playlists that I made. Also, there needs to be an option to save videos offline so when we're traveling without access of mobile data, I have videos for them to be entertained.

My little one loves YouTube Kids! She's nearly 2 and can navigate the app pretty easily. The videos are age appropriate. She loves the songs and videos! I've been noticing that she's learning a lot from the app, which is great! She sings along with the songs! Her favorite is Wheels on the Bus! For example there's a lot of videos showing things like what firemen and women do, etc. So she won't be afraid of helpful people who might look scary in uniform to such a small child. Highly recommend!
