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.

It's a great app with great content for under 3, I just wish there was a way to filter out languages we don't speak at home. My child is learning to talk, and while they have learned letters, colours, shapes, and more, it gets confusing when they end up watching their educational videos in other languages. I can block them, but they always find more 😂

I would give 5 stars if you could unblock a single channel instead of having to unblock everything. I love that you can block just the video or the whole channel but I'd like the same options for unblocking. Other than that, it's super easy for little ones to use. Only shows safe material for kids, I feel comfortable leaving my 3 year old with it if I'm not able to watch directly over their shoulder. Love it.

Simple and safe for kids and doesn't contain ads. You can set the age range for your kids so that only age appropriate videos will be available to them. My two year old has pretty much mastered using this app and spends way too much time on it, although he's learned to count to 10, the entire alphabet and quite a few works from watching videos on here. It's a good learning tool and keeps him happy. Win win.
