Reviews
Loving the curated selection
PrintsAli
In a world where the internet is become less and less safe for a children its great to have something parents can trust for children's video.
A great experience from first launch
MRWelch
This app, along with the ability in the upcoming iOS6 update to disable the home button, are a match made in heaven. No more worrying about what my young son is getting in to. Love the ability to star specific videos. How did no one think of something like this app a long time ago? Money very well spent.
More Netflix!!!
Skrubnik
This app desperately needs more Netflix choices! There are hundreds (if not thousands) of kid-friendly movie and tv choices on Netflix, and we only get an option of ten?! Add more choices, and make it customizable, please!
Great for younger kids

My 5 year old likes to play videos over and over and now I can let her without worrying.
Useless

Walled garden for you to pick your flowers in but no substance of consequence.
Good in theory
Always cooking
The idea here is great... In theory. Unfortunately we put a little too much trust in the developer to filter videos and have since had to discuss issues with our children that are not necessarily age appropriate base on things they've seen and heard on some of these videos. Most recently my 8yo watched a cartoon video where one character- upon being subject to another's 'singing'- pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head. This is not "kid friendly" entertainment.
