We have been listening to many parents in our neighborhood. We have built their ideas into this new Channel Lab 2.

Parents can now control YouTube so that it is an educational tool for their kids. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Politicized & Dangerous *2024-03-16* AVOID. This APP only filters out a narrowly selected group of channels. Tellingly many good childrens SCIENCE & education channels are listed to be blocked, including Sesame Street, but does nothing to filter dangerous religious fundamentalist or right wing extremist channels like Fox News. **Developer response:** It does filter out everything. The only thing allowed is the 25 channels we like and any additional channels the parent adds. YouTube suggestions are blocked. ### 1/5 — Bad quality *2024-01-05* Worst quality ever I have ever seen before **Developer response:** After you left this review we deleted the app and built a brand new version so parents can control YouTube better. PLEASE try this new Channel Lab. I will personally add any new features you need to make this app better for parents and their kids. hi@theChannelLab.com ### 2/5 — Fix This Glitch Please *2026-02-07* I love this app I truely do but when I go to search it works for like a week but then I have to wait a whole nother week to search 🔍 something else. **Developer response:** Sorry. Fix should be approved soon. ### 2/5 — I don’t know but this is ai slop *2025-08-12* The picture is ai slop I’m sorry the email typing is gone and they stole the og YouTube era cast 2016 player **Developer response:** Sorry you feel that way. No AI is used in this app. Not sure what you mean by email typing. ### 3/5 — Sorry not good enough *2026-02-18* My child complains that the video she like is not letting her watch it like nick Dovinigan **Developer response:** You can add any channel you like including that one. ### 5/5 — Really good don’t need to pay it optional! (This is the kid talking.) me 11 *2026-06-05* I really enjoy it better than YouTube kids because some of the videos I want to watch and suddenly disappear from your time kid and when using channel lab any safe videos you can watch is available only videos ### 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.
