Ugh!!!!
Let me first say am a kid and I get it parents want kids to be safe on the internet but really really!!!! I hate this app so much for starters you can’t watch full episodes for example let’s say you’re on a road trip and you want to see a full episode of Adventure time you click into the app look it up but the only thing you’re going to see are some clips I don’t want clips darn it!!! Secondly Fnaf is aloud... Do I even have to say it? Do I?! Does anyone over there at google know what fnaf is about?!!! No? Ok I’ll explain it! To put it this way... fnaf is a horror game basically this man killed children stuffed them into robots and now they Hunt the pizzeria where they were killed Now tell me google dose that even sound remotely kid friendly!? Lastly I would like to talk about the settings. Okay so when you download the app it asks you what type of videos the app should play (am 11) but when you pick all ages it still has abc 123 videos on it! So in the next update could you add a 10-12 setting? It would help us older kids who have to be with this app Thanks for reading sorry it’s so long!

So-so
This app is okay. It is good for little kids that are around toddle ages. The thing is, there are inappropriate videos. I don’t know what it’s called exactly but there’s a channel that looks and seems directed towards little kids but when you pay attention to it more it is disgusting. It’s this clay animation channel with characters from movies or shows; mainly Elsa from Frozen and Spider-Man. They don’t talk to it’s hard to comprehend what they’re really implying fully. They seem normal at first but then they show things like, the characters eating too much and getting very overweight, Spider-Man and Elsa flirting, characters killing each other...and the most unbelievable thing, characters getting impregnated. There’s so much more horrid stuff on that channel. Besides that everything I can tell on the app is appropriate, except some little curse words slip out. Apart from that is good. I know there’s settings on what age range there is but there really should be more tween videos for kids with protective parents. The posting it horrible though. When I used the app I was 11 or 10 and the uploading is horrible. There was only videos from months or even years earlier

Good, But Needs Better Monitoring
On the outside, the seems like a fine app for the preschooler/elementary crowd. And most of the time, it is. There are many educational and do-it-yourself videos that children can access. My younger brother lives watching his “Up on the Housetop” (a Christmas song) video. However, also at children’s fingertips are a few less age-appropriate videos. These might satisfy the teenager or tween of protective parents, but they aren’t the best for the target age. Specifically, I recently found a clip of the “Bustopher Jones” scene from the musical Cats (you know, the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that stars people in tight costumes slinking around the stage pretending to be cats). Okay for the (jr) high school crowd, but not quite what most parents want their five-year-olds to watch. Parents: you might want to preview videos you think your children would view. Developers: please try to monitor this better! I’m not saying to study every video that comes in, just the ones that look a little off-key. Thanks!
