When your child browses the app’s home screen, they’ll find a vast selection of kid-appropriate channels and playlists.

We’re as focused on kids’ safety as you are, so we’ve built the YouTube Kids app to be a family-friendly place to explore. Kids can enjoy favorites like Sesame Street, Thomas & Friends, and Dreamworks, online hits like Mother Goose Club, TuTiTu, and Super Simple Songs, plus anything else they’re into - music, gaming, science, crafts, and more. We’ve taken out the complicated stuff and made an app even little ones can navigate - that means big buttons, easy scrolling, and instant full-screen. YouTube Kids features popular children’s programming, plus kid-friendly content from filmmakers, teachers, and creators all around the world. This free app is delightfully simple and packed full of age-appropriate videos, channels and playlists. The official YouTube Kids app is designed for curious little minds to dive into a world of discovery, learning, and entertainment. Also, the settings password is only spelled out numbers so if your child can read, they could access options in the app. One annoyance is that the app only works in landscape for all functions so searching on a smaller screen can be annoying. YouTube kids offers a great way to discover kid-friendly content.

With various channels like Sesame Street and PBS KIDS, the amount of educational programming is excellent. YouTube Kids is a perfect app for parents looking for educational videos for their children. There is also a timer to limit how long you want your child to be watching videos. Settings are locked behind a passcode but options to change content types are strangely absent. There is also a search function that limits video results by using user input and automated analysis so inappropriate videos aren't displayed. These are all YouTube-approved channels that are safe for children. YouTube Kid offers specific channels for kids in separate categories like Shows, Music, Learning, and Explore.
