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, a fresh look 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 filtering 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.

Listen, we've used this app for a long time. My kids are quite upset at the updated setup. It definitely isn't as kid-friendly or inviting by losing some of the fun music and details... and the layout has made it seem to them that they've lost content that was approved for them, and even I cannot find it for them. Please consider adding a feature to use the layout it previously had. Additionally, this would be an opportunity to use a few different formats or themes to make good of it.

I was hoping to be able to use this to chromecast to the TV for my kids and have less advertising fed to them (I read YouTube kids has less than regular youtube). Not for them to have access to my phone and watch on their own but I see now this is an app for kids. For me as an adult it's clunky and hard to navigate, there's no way to save favourite videos which is irritating, as I have playlists on my regular YouTube for them. So ill just go back to regular and deal with the ads I guess.

Doesn't consistently cast to tv. I wish you could search your saved videos, and make folders/collections to organize your saved videos. It was not easy to figure out how to get to settings to find videos to save. I love the idea of this kids app with no ads and simple for my preschooler to select from my approved videos. But it is very frustrating to use.
