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.

Easy to Bypass

Literally just switching to the YouTube app or the website bypasses it.

Response from developer

Hi Mars, Thanks for your rating and inputs. Based on your inputs we have reworked the ease at which controls can be enforced. WhitelistVideo acts as a layer on top of existing youtube web application- to ensure children are able to discover new content while providing a a guarded rails approach. For non-bypassable configuration you will need to configure Screentime(apple) and Family Link (Android) in addition and block/ban the youtube relevant URLs and apps. If this is not done, just as any other app, it will be bypassable and these are operating system level controls, that parents will need to configure in addition to whitelistVideo Request you to please check https://whitelist.video/help site for more details on this.
