We only waited this five stars so it would be shown so let us tell the story we thought that this would be a nice start because our kids were getting a little bored with only a few streaming choices they had and they watch the same thing over and over so we thought this would be a little nice thing to have full control over but then we got it. It’s like we have no control and then the next thing we know after our kids are watching it for a while they get addicted to it and then they act like these spoiled brat Youtubers. and we think it’s not appropriate for kids like it’s a great app and all just you could use more choices and let the parent have more control over what their own kids are watching. Because our kids have become snotty little brats after they’ve been watching these inappropriate videos behind our backs. They never acted like this until they’ve watched this and we were like so surprised how they attitude and personalities just changed all because of this one app and we don’t think it’s appropriate for any kid.
Needs more potential🫤

Don’t get me wrong, this is a great app and all, but there’s some things that should change. For starters, I think the 9-12 age group should have a less childish theme and something more suitable for older kids. The colors are too bright for me and I wish they were darker and not so vibrant. Also, the sounds of when you’re swiping through video suggestions is just annoying. It gives me an earworm and wish there was a feature to remove the sounds. And some of the videos they suggest for me are WAY too childish. I need something more entertaining like a channel for older kids that’s also appropriate for the app. And the last thing that is okay but still needs some work is that the app only updates when there a month with a holiday. The app needs to update more often instead of just giving it a new theme each month or so. Another thing that I can’t stand is when you search for a certain channel and there are videos from it but it’s not available. I don’t understand the point of adding videos of a channel and then making the channel unavailable. Something similar to this is one day, you’re watching your favorite YouTuber’s videos and the next day, they aren’t there anymore. This is constantly annoying because every time I find a channel that is actually entertaining, they always remove it the next day and don’t put it back until 4-5 months later. This is unfair to others who are trying to enjoy this app the best they can and the company is making it harder for them to do so. This is just my opinion so please respect it.
So never ever EVER delete anything that was already there 😡

So the reason I put two stars is because will I’m 12 and turning 13 this September and I USED to like the music it had but the next day when I search it up the cat popped up so when is did it over and over again I didn’t work so I few days later it came back again I was so happy that I quickly put it on but guess WHAT?!!! The next day it was gone again this got me mad but also kinda happy because they sanded a subscribe button but not apron all of the channels so if you could put it on every channel like idk maybe SSsniper wolf the reason her is because when I was like idk 6 I had normal yt so I always watched her and she does not say bad words or show anything bad and when ty kids put just one vid about her I thought there was going to be a subscribe button so I can see other vid but NO!!!!! So plz put a new vid every day in my opinion and also on the 8-12 age group there is still like baby videos so plz take those out because they are really bothering me and if u can add a special place to see videos that are like live and you can comment but only on the 8-12 so the little kids can be safe🤪😊 but for the older kids I think there old enough to comment and see live🔴 videos but ones with no bad words to be safe again😊 also if you can add normal yt features like idk a bell so we can be notified on new videos but only on the ones we subscribe to so plz respond to this comment so I can upload this app again thank you and good bye.
“Older” section needs improvement.
Spammer raid bosses
so I recently decided to randomly check this out for no particular reason but I just wanted to try it out, and let me just say I’m really disappointed. I’m 12, not exactly the main demographic this app is targeted for but there is a “older” section for people who are around the ages of 8-12 and I think it needs work. For one thing the videos in the “older” section didn’t even manage to make me entertained. I genuinely got bored from looking at some of the videos. They don’t have a lot of family friendly youtubers. Take flamingo for a example. He isn’t on the app even though he is completely family friendly. The videos I saw seemed to be made for 7-9 year olds. I recommend that the creators made a section for 11-12 year olds that feature a more mature youtubers and not just the same old Stuff. Maybe some people like Ethan gamer or Ronald toys reviews but not everyone does. I want to see some more adult youtubers because to me, I prefer watching a adult play video games or simply just doing some commentary because adults can be a lot funnier because they know a lot of things kids don’t. can you please also add a section for males and females? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe in gender stereotypes but what male would want to watch a Barbie doll meditation video?! Seriously? 1 more thing, can you please add in more mature cartoons? The cartoons on yt kids are obviously directed for people who are around the ages of 5-9. I would like to see some more mature stuff on the app. Thanks
