Fix should be approved soon. ### 5/5 — Will update after some more use: but so far great *2025-12-09* Still getting used to it, but absolutely everything about this is fantastic and exactly what I wanted so far. ### 5/5 — Awesome alternative!! *2025-11-01* Update: If I could rate this app and Aaron (developer) more than 5 stars I would!! He has been SOO responsive to suggestions (from my kids lol) and we are so pleased! I will happily subscribe and support this app! I had been searching for an alternative to the garbage YouTube spews out and where I can actually control which channels my kids can watch. There have been a couple of glitches- however the developer Aaron was very quick to resolve the issues and made immediate updates. I really hope he is able to keep this app going because it is genius for child content viewing!! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words. Big update coming soon! ### 5/5 — This is the best quality ever *2025-10-17* I love this because it’s so good and it helps me how to draw and procreate and anything like cooking, which I just did even though I’m still eight years old that I liked this app. It’s so so creative. And it’s good. There is no ads because I’ve been waiting for this moment in my life, five stars. Oh, I forgot to tell you won’t you remove child mode because Paramount lets me watch videos, but in child mode. It doesn’t let me watch videos, so please remove child mode because I don’t know what’s my account password. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words Emely! ### 5/5 — Awesome alternative!! *2025-09-30* I had been searching for an alternative to the garbage YouTube spews out and where I can actually control which channels my kids can watch.
