Love, but needs search option

I love the protection the app offers, even from ads that are too mature. If there was a way to search for particular episodes in each channel, that would be so helpful. Ty,

The missing YouTube app

This app is exactly what YT should be doing. It lets me pick the channels my kids can watch and they can’t watch anything else. It’s perfect. Every parent should have this app.

Parent must have

I finally feel like my kids are safe using YouTube. I can make a profile for each child and add the channels that I want them to watch. They are only able to watch those channels. No more worrying if they are watching what they are not subscribed to.
