Does not respect blocked videos/channels that are configured against our adult AND children profiles. In fact, ACTIVELY promotes the very channels I've blocked every time I reset the app! There are instructions on how to "hide content" by holding the button and selecting block - but that block option doesn't ACTUALLY exist on the Google TV, it literally just plays the very thing I'm trying to block! Whoever wrote this app clearly have no kids, this would've never passed any meaningful QA. I would be demanding google to refund even my Google TV device because of this app! It's literally a bait and switch!

Playing one of those hour long combo nursery rhyme videos and want to go back to the start? Enjoy holding the rewind key for minutes. The VHS players in the 80s didn't make you do that. What kind of garbage UX is this? Does the "Kids" in the title mean it was created by kids?

Seriously, the Youtube kids app for Google's own platform doesn't respect youtube premium and forces ads on your kids even though you pay to not watch them? No options, no settings? Put some effort into this please...

Voice search would be a very good feature to replicate what is on YT Kids Android phone/tablet

Boro Nderi

Need to be able to log in to control content better, and to avoid my daughter seeing ads, as I pay for a premium account for a reason. Fix this, and the app would be perfect.

IT IS TERABILE i tride loding it on my laptop and it did't work but on goggel play it works on pc 1star on i pad 5stars

Adriana Scicluna

Same as everyone else. It's basically useless if you want to use limits or filtering. Why google? Why is everything you do so half baked?

Thomas Fjellstrom

Like everyone else says. I CAN NOT block videos or sign into my account control what my child watches. I pay for youtube premium to block ads and can't even use it with this app. Please explain to me what is the point of this app?

It's pretty sad when the AppleTV Kids Youtube app is better than the one for Google's TV platform. The Apple TV app adds parent sign in, so you can customize which channels and vidoes appear in the selection screen. With the launch of the new GoogleTV platform, I hope this app is updated.
