Only safe YouTube experience for young children
This is a great little idea that filters YouTube into preschool+ friendly content w/ no ads or questionable pop ups. No in-app purchases or upgrades either. My biggest complaint is the somewhat limited subject matter -- ie, my son loves trains and there are no train videos. With some added subjects this really would be a wonderfully perfect video app for young kids. Other things that could be a problem - Everything is broken into parts, so your child needs to figure out how to watch Parts 1,2,3 and 4 to see an episode of Little Einsteins, for example. (Or you need to be right there to help - which i always am when they have my iphone but still). Also, some of the quality is questionable - audio is very high or low, resolution is low. But that's youtube. At least it's safe.

Safest video for kids.
I got this app after hearing it was named the #1 by babble. Safest tool for video for kids I've seen. And largest selection of videos too.

If you are tired of your kids playing games on your iPhone, but still want to keep them entertained for good periods of time, you need WeetWoo. It's the best app for kid safe video, and super easy for kids to use. This has made our road trips bearable. There must be thousands of videos.

Perfect to entertain young kids
Great app -- you can have piece of mind that your kids are watching appropriate stuff -- and the kids love it

Absolutely love it
Super simple and usable app my kids love. Way better videos than the other apps I've tried. Easy enough that they can entertain themselves and there are NO ads or inappropriate videos. Wish I could disable YouTube on my iPhone and still have it work, but apparently that's not possible.

Perfect for youngsters and pre-teens
We have a 3 year old boy who can be tough to manage when we go out to eat...hate to say it but this app has been a true lifesaver in terms of keeping him entertained. It is super easy for him to navigate, we don't have to be worried about what he may stumble upon "surfing" etc. Funny enough they have some very cool old Disney/Mickey Mouse videos that I haven't ever seen myself.

Great for kids from 6 up. Select the content for the age group!
I love this ap th keep the kids entertained and educated (especially at those times when handing them the iPhone is what's needed). Watch the data consumption on the new ATT plans, though! (Use WiFi).

Great tool for controlling what my 3 and 6 yr old watch on my phone
I definitely trust the content, which is the purpose of the app in my opinion. And my kids love it. I REALLY appreciate the fact that it filters out the "see these other related videos" at the end of youtube videos, as they are often inappropriate.

Great for distraction when needed
Great app for watching age-appropriate videos. Love to use it when traveling, waiting in line, when kiddos need a distraction.

Simple kid safe video app
Perfect for when you need a quick 15 minutes or so of distracted kids. The videos are completely kid friendly, and the navigation works for non-literate kids. I have used this in public, to buy a few minutes of adult conversation, and in the car when I've heard a few too many renditions of "The Wheels on the Bus". My kids love it!
