YouTube Kids

Video app made for all kids

Published by: Google

Description

A video app made just for children
YouTube Kids was created to give children a more contained environment that makes it simpler and more fun for them to explore on their own, and easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey as they discover new and exciting interests along the way.
A safer online experience for children
We work hard to keep the videos on YouTube Kids family-friendly and use a mix of automated filters built by our engineering teams, human review and feedback from parents to protect our youngest users online. But no system is perfect and inappropriate videos can slip through, so we're constantly working to improve our safeguards and offer more features to help parents create the right experience for their families.
Customise your child's experience with Parental Controls
Limit screen time: Set a time limit for how long your children can watch and help encourage their transition from watching to doing.
Keep up with what they watch: Simply check the 'watch it again' page and you'll always know what they've watched and the newest interests that they're exploring.
Blocking: Don't like a video? Block the video or whole channel and never see it again.
Flagging: You can always alert us to inappropriate content by flagging a video for review. Flagged videos are reviewed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Create individual experiences as unique as your children
Create up to eight child profiles, each with their own viewing preferences, video recommendations and settings. Choose from 'Approved Content Only' mode or select an age category that fits your child: 'Preschool', 'Younger' or 'Older'.
Select the 'Approved Content Only' mode if you want to hand-pick the videos, channels and/or collections that you've approved your child to watch. In this mode, children won't be able to search for videos.The 'Preschool' Mode curates videos that promote creativity, playfulness, learning and exploration. The 'Younger' Mode allows children aged 5–8 to explore their interests in a wide variety of topics including songs, cartoons and crafts. While our 'Older' Mode gives children aged 9 and up the chance to search and explore additional content such as popular music and gaming videos for children.
All kinds of videos for all kinds of children
Our library is filled with family-friendly videos on all different topics, igniting your children's inner creativity and playfulness. It's everything from their favourite shows and music to learning how to build a model volcano (or make slime ;-), and everything in between.

YouTube Kids Reviews

Recent update not good, needs more accessibility options

Idontwanttosignin123 on

United States

I have a special needs kid. The latest update really made the app worse. She it’s not capable of navigating most of the app. The Home Screen used to show way more history and options. With that said, it is great that she has this app as she enjoys the kids songs. But I wish that the app would consider accessibility more as some buttons are too small for someone with poor fine motor skills.

The difficult parts about YouTube kids

big sister kenzie on

United States

I love YouTube kids, but the difficult parts about it is that it doesen’t show some of the channels. For example, if I want to go to let’s say the Norris nuts channel, it’s not there. And that’s for some other YouTube channels. Like the Johnson fam, tannerites,etc. My iPad is also old, so I try downloading the app because there is this little cloud that has an arrow pointing down, and I download it, and it dosen’t download. So I have to go to my mom to fix it. Just know that I am ten, and my brother is 7. He has no problems with it, when I do. I still like YouTube kids,but there needs to be some changes. Please add the channel thingy. Thank you and have a good day.✌🏻

put more channels 😡😡😡

I hate the new look

I loved the old days when YouTube kids had the old look

Changes that can and need to be added

marie 1216 on

What l think should be added into YouTube kids is when the video was made like in real YouTube. What else l think needs to be added is when the new look came in you can’t go to your favorite YouTubers which l am kinda upset about because l hate just having to search them up, like what if you forget the YouTubers name? That would be pretty unlucky. And also for the older kids ages 9-12 l think there should be kinda more abnormal and kinda scary things added to that like horror games not movies. Because as a kid who can’t watch actual YouTube and wants to binge watch poppy playtime or something that kinda makes me sad. There should also be more genres to choose from like comedy, scary, and fantasy. I think you should also add captions to be a optional thing because every time I watch a YouTuber like Mariah Elizabeth, I want the captions on, but since apparently the captions are not available. I don’t know what she’s saying so I think captions should be an optional thing because every time I try to watch a video it doesn’t matter if the captions are available or not, do you want a five star rating on this app so I suppose you should add captions whether it’s available or not because this makes me mad to the point where I don’t want to use this app. But yea those are the things that could be added to your amazing app. Thank you for reading this.(Also l don’t mean for this review to be offensive.)

Good

Thank you

Angry user / dog mom on

My middle child loves a show called stuck in the middle (she can relate) and my oldest loves the dance videos and my baby loves the Lego videos. I just feel like the real YouTube has to much inappropriate content. because they can’t unsee things, and I don’t want them learning words they don’t need to know. so thank you for providing for my family. 😊🙏 P.S. thanks again for time limits they need them. 😉
