Great start, targeted too young.
This app is so important to me and my family - but its limited to kids under 5.
I personally love learning on YouTube with shows like Crash Course, Sci Show, Mental Floss, Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time, Minute Physics, Numberfile, Health Care Triage, Vsauce, etc etc.
Luckily YouTube has helped my daughter culture a spirit curiosity - She loves shows on art tutorials, cray tutorials, sci show kids, crash course kids, cooking tutorials, certain kid shows, etc. unfortunately she ends up on random rabbit trails, sometimes very inappropriate.
The problem with YouTube kids is the young targeting and the lack of selecting content for her to watch to help guid her with approved shows. So super glad for this app - however its lacking in features.
First, theres a lot of kid friendly channels Id love to see come over that currently isn there, I can search for it but theres no way to add it as a favorite or subscribe - so its useless. The ability to subscribe to a specific list of favorites for kids would be great - so they see guided options upon. Not to mention just have certain shows I want her to see get more exposure than what YouTube is suggesting.
Two, there is sooooo much stuff that is targeted to kids way younger than her - she doesnt want to use the app - the favorites feature (selected by parents)would fix this. As well as an intuitive algorithm that selects age appropriate content for her - shows for her age.
