YouTube Kids

This app works when it works. It is terrible when it doesn't work. It will randomly delete/dump the offline videos. I'll go somewhere and there are no offline videos saved for car rides. When I set the timer, if you don't click it exactly right, it will not initiate the timer. Then it doesn't turn off. Ever. The kids version has the ability to cast to different screens. If my kid hits cast, it will cast. This turns on our large tv. I'm convinced it also disables the timer. It's very frustrating

Ok first off, there is no COPPA and second, this app makes no sense, when I type in something it shows me something different, like come on, this app also has cringy videos like? Why would I want to watch that, and when I listen to music or search up music it's always piano, instrumental,or nothing at all, it's the worst. This app needs to go.

The app is automatically disabling itself after approximately 30 minutes of playback. We are in the US, where the app is available, but it's triggering the automatic disabling as if we are in an unsupported region. There's no obvious way to fix the behavior, which turns my son's favorite app into a neverending source of frustration for us. Google, fix it.

Life saver app. My 2 year old never talks so we were afraid there was something wrong with her. Come to find out she can name all her ABCs, numbers, shapes, and animals if we show her on our phones. This is thanks to the contents on this app because it definitely wasn't us that taught her. Usually when I cast to my TV, the app would play the next videos automatically but now it stops after which each for some reason.

So easy to use! My 2 year old is able to work it by himself! I love how I am able to block certain shows and channels I don't want him watching and it shows only age appropriate videos! You can also view what they have been watching. I also live how there are very very few apps! A lot less than regular YouTube. Every ad that does pop up is completely age appropriate, usually toys or kids shows. We probably only get 1 ad every other day or so.

My kids love this app more then anything. They use it in the car before bed and anytime they are bored. Love that I can make different profiles for the kids so it keeps their likes and watch lists seperate! It's nice cause there's not a whole lot of ads like YouTube has and they are short and easy for my 2 year old. Sometimes kids don't understand the reasoning for ads.

I love the option to handpick the content my toddlers can watch. There are a few educational videos they love that are only available on youtube. But the screen cast button doesnt appear even when I toggle the setting on and off. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It's a pretty useless app if I can't cast to my tv. I'm not going to have my two toddlers crowded around my phone when we'rr at home and we have a tv with a Chromecast. so ive had to use the regular youtube app again anyway

Videos won't save. After the child watches so much, it is supposed to use that info to save a small amount of videos for offline. This feature used to work for us. Now everytime I click offline videos it says it doesn't have enough data to save videos! My child watches it tons! Makes no sense! Makes for a lot of toddler frustration when she can't watch without Wifi!

I want to be able to resize the video and the video thumnail popup. I'm tired of YouTube not protecting free speech and kicking off creators at will. When composing a comment why can't I save a draft. Move the controls to the bottom. I want split screen in landscape. Why does my video stop playing when it connects to bluetooth. Why are casting and bluetooth controls in the app and not in OS. Why is there a max playlist size.

The shortcut on the homescreen and in my app menu keeps disappearing!! I have to keep going into Google play and re-enable the app. This is becoming quite the tedious activity! Great app otherwise. I haven't downloaded any other apps bc of this. Going to be uninstalling unless bugs fixed. Will change rating afterwards also. Ty!
