The app has recently evolved through a comprehensive design modernization that introduces a cleaner UI, a streamlined bottom navigation bar, and enhanced vertical browsing support. These updates, featured in the latest version (11.07.2), significantly improve accessibility and empower parents with more granular content filtering tools to ensure a safer and more personalized viewing experience for children.
Parents can personalize their child's experience by selecting from Preschool, Younger, or Older modes, or use 'Approved Content Only' to handpick specific videos and channels for supervised viewing.
Provides tools to block specific videos or entire channels and a flagging system for inappropriate content, allowing parents to actively prune the feed and maintain a safe environment.
An integrated timer allows parents to set specific viewing limits; once the time expires, the app freezes, helping children manage their digital habits and transition to offline activities.
Supports up to eight distinct profiles per account, each with its own unique viewing preferences, recommendations, and age-based security settings to accommodate multiple children in a household.
Features a refreshed bottom navigation bar for quick access to Home, Search, and the 'Your Stuff' page, supporting both vertical and horizontal device orientations for easier content discovery.
Offers a dedicated space where children can quickly find their favorite videos and content shared with them by parents, facilitating easy re-watching and bonding over familiar media.
