About this app

Inspire your children to uncover their unique interests
Help your children explore video content that they love and that parents trust, in an app made just for children. With easy navigation tools and a suite of features, you can help your children spend time online uncovering new interests, unleashing their imagination and building their confidence in their own unique world.

Help your children grow at their own pace
Your children are unique, so they should only see content that they're ready to explore. Decide what videos will help them make the most of their time online, then personalise individual profiles using custom content filters as they grow.

– Help your youngest children learn their ABCs, nurture their curiosity and more in 'Preschool' mode.
– Expand your children's interests to songs, cartoons or DIY crafts in 'Younger' mode.
– Give your older children the freedom to search popular music and gaming videos in 'Older' mode.
– Or, hand-pick the videos, channels and collections that your children can see in 'Approved content only' mode.

Rewatch videos and bond over favourites
Quickly find your children's favourite videos and the content that you've shared with them in the 'Watch it again' tab.

Shape your children's viewing experience with parental controls
Parental control features help you limit what your children 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 children to take a break in between exploring content. Use the 'Timer' feature to freeze the app when screen time is up so that your children can apply their new skills to the real world.

No search for limited content. We set it up so only approved channels can be viewed. With this option the search function is disabled! I've added around 20 channels (to start with) each with loads of videos in, surely the search function can be allowed so they can find what they want in their allowed content. For example so they can find a selection of T-Rex or cupcake videos from all the channels approved. Also it's not very good that there is no way to save or group videos for later.

Nice app, one can control watching limits and also the contents. For the safety purpose of our kids we can rewatch the videos what contents they are watching and get rid of that, even one can block any channel to view and limit the time for the whole day, I give it to my kid without any hesitation. I've tried many options but this one is best to get rid of the addiction from watching mobile for too long. Thanks to YouTube kids for making such a safe platform for kids, keep growing up, lots of ❤️

It's okay. A better option than the regular YouTube app but still has a lot of content that I feel is inappropriate. It also seems to push girl/female content to my son's account. So it's still a constant battle to make sure he is watching appropriate content.
