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.

The YouTube Kids app is really good. It doesn’t have adverts that interrupt children while they are watching, which makes the experience much smoother. I also like that you can download cartoons and other content, so children can still watch even when there is no internet or data. Most importantly, the app only provides content suitable for children, such as cartoons and educational videos, which makes it a safer option for them.

It's like okay. I wish I can add channels that are not for kids too, and block all videos that are over 30 mins. The timer concept is not bad but it cuts off in the middle of a video. Of course the 5 year old will have a tantrum. It would be awesome if it only recommends videos of the length of time left. Like if there is only 10 minutes left, then only recommend videos under 10 mins, if only 2 minutes left, recommend only videos under 2 minutes. I don't think they'll fix it tho.

My app was having an issue where autoplay didn't work when I streamed it to my tv, so I decided to try to update it to see if it would fix. Well now it won't let me watch other videos on my phone while I'm streaming, it always pauses one or the other. :(
