The AI content filtering is useless

A single science video generated dozens of “inappropriate content” warnings. Unclear what the point was since there are no controls other than on and off.

Great App for Limiting Youtube

We’ve been using this app for our autistic son for two months now. He was starting to search for the unsavory content and this app has curtailed that effectively. You get to block channels but their AI utility also blocks videos based on key words in the titles of videos and even looks for swear words in the transcripts of the videos now too. The support is amazing too. I’m a developer and this is the functionality I had in the imaginary app I was going to build. Give this app a try if you’re struggling to keep youtube a safe place for your curious kids

Sketchy billing, can’t cancel

I canceled but am still being charged, and their support sends you to an AI chat bot. This app could actually be useful, but they have a garbage interface that directs you to a webpage and goes around apple’s billing system. This app should be pulled from the App Store

Whitelistvideo

YouTube Kids still showed weird content and the interface is patronizing for older kids. WhitelistVideo lets my kids use regular YouTube but only see approved channels. They feel like big kids, I have full control. Best of both worlds.

Finally a Parent-Friendly App That Actually Keeps Kids Safe

I’ve tried many different apps and methods to restrict my child from watching inappropriate videos and channels, but nothing really worked consistently. This is by far the most user-friendly app I’ve used. It gives parents real control over what kids can access by allowing restrictions based on categories, channels, and videos. The safety features are excellent, and it provides peace of mind knowing my child is viewing age-appropriate content in a secure environment.
