YouTube Kids

Like that so far, it only shows appropriate videos for kids. Not user-friendly with swipe controls. Trying to exit app on my pixel 8 is a nightmare. I usually just end up scrubbing the timeline of the player or returning to the pick a video screen. Also, you can't download hand-picked videos. The app will download what it wants when It wants with no way to change it.

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 have plenty of negative things I could say but I'm going to try to say something closer to encouragement. My little one enjoys the app very much. It is easy for her to navigate and watch content that she is compelled to watch more frequently. There is of course, questionable content at times but I usually skip the video for her if I find it may not be suitable. Kinda wonder sometimes why there isnt more fresh content but I try to keep perspective...it's not easy to make content. Thank you.

While it's a great concept on paper, the poor level of parental controls available makes it challenging to weed out certain videos. I would like a keyword block feature that prevents videos with that listed keyword from popping up. The only reason it isn't one star is because I do appreciate the app timer. You guys have some work to do. Thank you

Convenient, easier to give a kid the device with YouTube kids on it than regular YouTube, which has commercials and any content that may not be appropriate. You get to set the age, and if you don't like certain videos or channels, you can block them. You can see the blocked list, too. However, It would be nice to have a search history option. The selection gets mundane and redundant after a while, but if you search different videos, it should update the recommended videos.

Decent, but some questionable videos. I don't let my child watch unsupervised. The new layout is AWFUL. My child is struggling with it and we really want the old layout back. Please fix it! It's not doing auto rotate any more? And the home screen is not child friendly, OR adult friendly. Finding her favorite videos is much harder now.

Frustrated. I never had an account until today. My little is 2, and haven't had any issues. New issue, even after update, I don't know how it started, but I made an account. Now I can't cast to our Chromecast. It started on her tablet. I signed into her account from my phone (to see if it was just the device's issue), but now I can't cast from my phone either! So frustrating. I was able to cast just fine pre-profile. No wifi issues.

Unable to enter my birth year on lock screen. When I press on the data entry points, no keypad appears, so I can't enter my birth year. Unable to activate app. Edit: it turns out that the data entry keypad is only visible in landscape mode. This is a terrible user interface, there is no clue that there is something off screen in portrait mode which is the way 90% of people will use it on their phone. Upgrading to two stars.

Non-intuitive interfaces, bouncing between URLs and the app. And gosh forbid, if you forget your password while you are already logged into the app. Good luck. Apparently I have to go between the app and the website to try to figure out how to reconnect things, including the television. And the parental controls are almost worthless. If your kids are smart enough to search they can get to whatever they want. Especially YouTubers that waste their lives away setting for examples.

Decent, but needs some improvement. It's nice to have more control of what my child sees on YouTube. The parental controls are good. The video controls are lacking; rewind is a 10 second rewind, there is no option to start from the beginning. If you go back to watch a video that you had already watched halfway,you have to watch from the last watched part. The select highlight on the tv is white on pale blue, it is not easy to see.
