I used to have regular YouTube, but, my parents put me back to kids. So, these are some content creators that I remember, and again, I wish were on here: ✨“Edit audio compilation” YouTubers✨ There are lots of these, so I can’t really specify certain channels that make this content. But, I wish that they were on here because they have a large variety of music that I love, and I know other kids my age do. They’re really fun to listen, and dance to can might just lighten up overall energy. ✨LittleMindXD✨ I’m gonna shorten her name to LMXD for efficiency. She’s an editor, and makes edits on popular or trending topics , mainly seen by younger kids. Her shorts are always full of color, and, can be appealing to my age group. However, I do suggest that her videos stay in the 9-12 group, and not any of the others. ✨BlenTouad✨ ( I think that how it’s spelled😭) Okay, so, they, are a content creator that makes 3d animations of the popular series FPE, ( Fundamental Paper Education ) Now, again, I do think that their channel should stay in the 9-12 age group. Some of their videos might not be for YouTube kids, but, I believe that most of her videos are. (Like, 50/50) However, their series have creative writing, actual voice actors, and overall, is really appealing. So, I’m 10, almost 11, and I ask, (not forcing) of you to consider adding these channels to YouTube kids, staying in the 9-12 age group, sense they seem the most appealing, and appropriate for those ages. -✨𝐼𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑡𝐹𝑎𝑛✨ ### 3/5 — Pls add more vids I want more vids pls pls pls pls *2026-08-23, version 11.33.946* So I have a lot of fav YouTubers on youtube that aren’t harmful or say bad words they are Minecraft YouTubers and they are famous I can tell you them there are sunnysev and da lil red pls pls purrlease add them they DO NOT swear and I think they are ok to be at least on ages 9 to 12. But your app is not horrible pls take the main advice: add more VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — I think this is a suggestion you should use in YouTube kids *2026-08-23, version 11.33.946* Is a great app, but I think it needs better things for the older kids and make it look better so that when they can’t start watching YouTube, they can actually experience what it’s like on YouTube kids so maybe the people that are like 12 when we have the older ones, maybe they can have better views of what their new social media is gonna be ### 3/5 — Honestly I feel like it needs more of this *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* I just want more Tadc… (tadc means The Amazing Digital Circus) plssss! I don’t care if it’s not the show… I just want more music and more art plsss but still I love this app ### 4/5 — P r o b l e m *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* Ok what I’m telling you is true listen carefully like I want to watch something on YouTube kids and when I click a video I want to watch it does not do anything it’s just plain black it shows that it’s paused and when I unpause it it’s still plain black and fun fact this already happened once and I’m just a kid developer please fix this problem (please respond) ### 3/5 — Kinda for kids *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* My son was watching something and heard the h word and omg but he is on the 9+ account ### 4/5 — Ok but some things to improve *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* Can you please try and update the new videos every time they come out on real YouTube ### 4/5 — 1 thing *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* Can you please make a way to change your age without deleting YT kids for watching more older kid videos. ### 4/5 — It only works sideways on the phone *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* Can’t you just make it the same layout as YouTube? ### 3/5 — Good for kids just needs to have better stuff for shorts *2026-08-21, version 11.33.946* I think this app is pretty good just the shorts are weird cuz they are still in the normal form. I think shorts just need their own section kinda like in actual YT ### 4/5 — good, but *2026-08-21, version 11.33.946* my mom won’t let me post stuff on social media apps like YouTube, TikTok, or Zigarro 😩 so she said try this app ✌️🥹 we cant post anything, YT KIDS!! 😭 and my cousin searched up "gay🏳️‍🌈" "sex" and "girls with v*gina" *he so messed up... when he searched up "gay" it showed "Men Getting Married". why the hell is that on there 🤨😫😖 im not homophobic *im bisexual* but kids shouldnt watch that stuff 🙃 they may be like "ooh i wanna marry a man this age" but thats unbelievable 😌 right....? 🫣 and he searched up "sex" and showed up with Hazbin Hotel stuff 😄😄😄 srsly, u should watch it... i know youre reading this, Michael 😉 if u havent watched it im tickling ur toes *has bi panic* anyways, its good theres no "Girls With V*gina" videos or "Men With Pen*s" stuff... let the kids post on there.... i promise we'll be good girls and boys so we dont get our toes touched by yt moderators... im having a bi panic 🩷💜💙 ### 4/5 — I sometimes use it *2026-08-21, version 11.33.946* I mostly go on YouTube a lot but when my lil brother comes I have to put yt kids on because he’s not aloud to watch yt ### 4/5 — The best kids YouTube in the world *2026-08-20, version 8.32* I was just a little kid, six years ago. And when I found YouTube kids, I was so happy. I found out that YouTube kids wasn’t for entertainment but can also teach you important stuff in your life. You can learn so much from this app even when you’re 12 or like 15 or like even a little kid like four or six years old!When my little brother was born, I knew I just had to show him these cool videos about life, slime, trucks, and the outside.I’m so happy I got to enjoy these years of my life watching and having fun with these videos. Kid YouTube, I hope you grow even more just to make kids happy and feel like they belong somewhere in life. You rock! ### 2/5 — Wait a sec… *2026-08-20, version 11.33.946* So I see these reviews and one said there is “gay” stuff on it…so I search “gay” and it shows up. YOUTUBE KIDS NO! Little kids can be watching this! YouTube can do better! PLUS my brother was watching something on YouTube kids and it said the f word! UNCREDIBLE! WHAT IS THIS! YOU SHOULD KEEP THAT STUFF ON JUST YOUTUBE! Not impressed. AND… why can people in Quebec not watch on YouTube kids? I love Quebec Be in a French person. And you do them dirty? no. Please just make YouTube kids actually YOUTUBE KIDS. ET OUI JE VE SA DANS QUEBEC!!! ### 4/5 — Kind of good *2026-08-20, version 11.33.946* So I’m a kid and my mom download this and I don’t know when but anyways I kinda like it and everyone is saying that it’s bad🤨so I don’t get it😒by the way I’m 8 years old, and turning grade four:) ### 4/5 — Every time *2026-08-20, version 11.33.946* Every time I sign in and ask if I can subscribe to channels does this channel that I like watching and it’s called Mir fam and every time I sign in to subscribe I then automatically can’t watch the channel so maybe you can upgrade it so I can watch that channel instead of me searching up that channel and stressed out because I can’t find it because before I even submitted for subscribe I could just automatically search it up so you have to do something about it because it isn’t fair that I’m being stuck and I don’t wanna watch other things so bye ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Umm hello *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* Like I was watching until a weird moment came up ### 1/5 — ERROR ERROR YOUTUBE KIDS ERROR! *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* Mum said I can only use YT Kids!

AND KIDS ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT IT! ### 1/5 — NO. *2026-08-17, version 11.32.945* Okay, so I was just going on YouTube Kids, but the timeline was at 0:00 and it wouldn’t budge. Tried a redownload. A waste. I tried everything. It wouldn’t work with my Spotify too but EVERYTHING else was fine. One star. I’m never buying this app again. I will try a few more times but this app sucks. It just puts random videos on my FYP. I honestly would watch YouTube if I could. These videos are infested with weird stuff. NEVER BUY, BYE BYE YOUTUBE KIDS!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-23, version 11.33.946* I did have this app, but my mother said I was not allowed to watch YouTube anymore, but I don’t understand. This is a great app. It is really fun for kids especially my sisters. One of my siblings is three years old. She loves watching it with me and yeah, it’s just a really fun app and I love all of the people who are on the app because they never swear so if I’m watching something then they won’t swear in front of my siblings because my younger siblings are always around me so I just think it’s a great app and it’s really recommended if you want something for your kids to enjoy watching but you don’t want them watching like intense YouTube just get this app and no issues with their behavior should come out out of this app. It’s totally recommended. ### 5/5 — Just pointing out. *2026-08-23, version 11.33.946* I love it, but I want you to change the “who’s watching” screen back to the old one. Just pointing out for you, 😅 -best regards, me. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-23, version 11.33.946* This game is so good and I love it so much and I love the game so much and I love how it is so much ### 5/5 — Parents!! Read before downloading!! *2026-08-22, version 11.33.946* This app is great for kids. Older kids can watch normal YouTube, but kids who need appropriate content can come here. This app was well-made, and the best part— NO ADS! No boring “Don’t wanna die? Come to Bill’sLifeInsurance”. This app is amazing!
