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.

you can randomly disable the whitelist feature when you refuse to moderate your platform. YTK went from a curated whitelist to showing anything and everything. My version of the app I manage my kids devices from still shows the whitelist setting in enabled but their version on their devices no longer has the setting and the content shown reflects that.

Its very annoying how I can't stop the music that plays as soon as I open the app. Sometimes I open the app when my child is sleepy, so I can play a lullaby but that music wakes him up every single time. Also, you can't create a playlist, so if you want to listen to a specific song again, you have to go through all the videos that have been watched till you find it. And kids click on everything, so there are a lot of videos to go through! The search option doesn't work well either.

So I once got this app to test it, cos most people aren't big fans. I had a great impression at the start with the cute little animation (regularly updated) and was then swiftly taken unto a homepage of many categories. However. You can't share videos. You can't make playlists. You have to stay directly "on" the video to keep watching. There is no option to filter your interests. A video you have watched goes into "watch again" and as more videos go into it, the old ones are pushed out. 😬💀😬😫
