It makes it easy to find age-appropriate content while helping children learn important skills like making friends, managing emotions, and building confidence. The screen-time controls are a huge plus. Safe, educational, and engaging! **Developer response:** Thanks, M! It's wonderful to hear from a nanny, and we're so glad the skill-building content and screen-time controls are making your days easier. Caregivers like you are a big part of who we build for. Please keep the feedback coming. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-29* So easy to use!! I can pop on educational videos for my kiddos during story times or for different activities in my classroom! ### 5/5 — My kids love the characters *2026-05-27* The blue dot lets them know there’s just one more video left. They love waiving bye bye to the caterpillar at the end. **Developer response:** This is one of our favorite things to hear, Julia. Iris and Scoot were designed to help little ones feel ready when screen time ends, so it's lovely your kids have made it their own. Thank you for sharing this with us. ### 5/5 — Finally!!! *2026-05-27* The app we have all been waiting…such a brilliant idea for all of the parents and kids out there! **Developer response:** Reactions like this keep us going. We're proud of what Maka is today and have a lot more planned, so we're glad you're with us from the start. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app - much needed *2026-06-08* Great to finally have an app that focuses on kids’ well-being. My daughter loves it, and I love that I can give her screen time knowing she isn’t watching garbage! **Developer response:** Thank you for being one of our founding families, and tell us anytime there's something you'd love to see added. ### 5/5 — Productive Screen Time Made Easy *2026-06-08* This is so cool! We generally try to limit screen time with our young kids, but it’s nice to have this tool to make that limited screen time more productive. The “Channels” feature is a game changer - tailoring content to address whatever issues my kids are currently struggling with (e.g. sharing, kindness) is so helpful. **Developer response:** This is exactly how we hoped Channels would help. Being able to point screen time toward whatever your kids are working through, whether that's sharing or kindness, makes those minutes count. Thank you for the thoughtful review, and tell us which channels you'd like to see next. ### 5/5 — Thoughtful and necessary solution *2026-06-05* Finally! An app that helps families integrate media and entertainment in a way that works for them **Developer response:** Thanks! We're just getting started and would love your feedback as we grow. ### 5/5 — Well done Maka Kids *2026-06-03* I recently tried the Maka Kids app and was really impressed. It’s such a thoughtful platform that helps parents feel good about the content their kids are watching—something that can be surprisingly hard to find. Beyond just being safe and vetted, I love that the app includes curated content that teaches real-life skills like making friends, managing big feelings, and taking care of yourself. There’s even a STEM channel, which is a great bonus. It was easy to set up, intuitive to use, and genuinely fun to explore. Honestly, it’s the kind of app I wish I had when my kids were younger. Highly recommend for parents looking for quality, meaningful screen time options. **Developer response:** What a generous review, Jenn. The STEM channel is a favorite of ours too. Thank you for recommending Maka, and we'd love to hear from you as we add more. ### 5/5 — Perfect for Intentional Parenting *2026-06-02* Maka Kids is a gem! I’m in the technology sector and spend a lot of professional time thinking about and working with algorithms. I know what the internet is serving out kids and it is not pretty. Maka Kids bypasses all of the mindless junk online and curates a true “best of” selection of top children’s television. What really sets it apart is the intentional focus on kindness, empathy, and emotional intelligence. My kids are completely engaged, and I love knowing that every single minute of screen time is reinforcing positive social skills. Maka Kids has officially transformed our daily routine. We still limit screen time, but we more flexibility with screen-time because we know Maka is keeping the kids happy, safe and learning. **Developer response:** Coming from someone who works with algorithms all day, this is high praise. You pinpointed what makes Maka different: every minute is chosen to reinforce kindness, empathy, and emotional intelligence rather than to maximize watch time. Knowing it has become part of your daily routine is the best thing we could hear. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing app for parents that need a break *2026-06-02* As a dad who sometimes needs to keep my son occupied for short periods of time, this app has been a lifesaver. The channels and settings are easy to customize, and I can tell my 2 year old is actually learning while he watches so I feel good about letting him get some screen time. It’s great to see him try to interact with the characters on the screen, and he loves to watch together! And the little character that pops up before the last show starts helps make sure he doesn’t get upset when it’s time to turn off! As a dad, this app Maka me very happy, and I will continue to use as my kid grows. **Developer response:** You Maka us very happy too. Iris is there for exactly this reason, helping the end of screen time feel calm instead of a battle. We're so glad your son is learning and engaging while he watches, and that you can feel good about it. Thank you for being here as he grows. ### 5/5 — Wonderful for children AND parents *2026-06-02* Really enjoyed the options and the approach. Would keep the children engaged and the parents comfortable that the material is on point and the time limit options provided a level of control and customization. **Developer response:** Keeping kids engaged while giving parents real control and peace of mind is the balance we care most about. We appreciate you taking the time, and we'd love to hear what else would make Maka even better for your family. ### 5/5 — Like the kid’s show I grew up with! *2026-06-01* I downloaded Maka Kids and have been watching some of the STEM content. The animation has a nostalgic feel that reminds me of the educational cartoons many of us grew up with. It’s simple, engaging, and easy for children to follow. The stories are fun and easy to understand, but they also encourage kids to think through problems and come up with solutions. As a parent, I appreciate that the app focuses on learning and curiosity rather than just keeping kids glued to a screen. I would definitely recommend it to other parents who are looking for thoughtful, high-quality content for their children. **Developer response:** Thank you. That nostalgic, slower feel is intentional, and we love that it reminds you of the shows that shaped so many of us. Shows that gets kids thinking and curious is the heart of Maka. We appreciate the recommendation. ### 5/5 — Grandparent *2026-06-01* The app was surprisingly easy to use, and I was able to set it up in a few minutes **Developer response:** We love hearing this. Making setup quick and simple for everyone caring for a child, grandparents included, matters a lot to us. Thank you for giving Maka a try, and enjoy the time with your grandkids. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2026-06-01* Intuitive features for screen time management plus a wide variety of shows available! **Developer response:** Thank you, Catfishluvver! Easy screen-time controls and a library worth exploring are exactly what we're going for. There's plenty more on the way, so stay tuned to Maka Kids. :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
