Listen, we've used this app for a long time. My kids are quite upset at the updated setup. It definitely isn't as kid-friendly or inviting by losing some of the fun music and details... and the layout has made it seem to them that they've lost content that was approved for them, and even I cannot find it for them. Please consider adding a feature to use the layout it previously had. Additionally, this would be an opportunity to use a few different formats or themes to make good of it.

I was hoping to be able to use this to chromecast to the TV for my kids and have less advertising fed to them (I read YouTube kids has less than regular youtube). Not for them to have access to my phone and watch on their own but I see now this is an app for kids. For me as an adult it's clunky and hard to navigate, there's no way to save favourite videos which is irritating, as I have playlists on my regular YouTube for them. So ill just go back to regular and deal with the ads I guess.

Doesn't consistently cast to tv. I wish you could search your saved videos, and make folders/collections to organize your saved videos. It was not easy to figure out how to get to settings to find videos to save. I love the idea of this kids app with no ads and simple for my preschooler to select from my approved videos. But it is very frustrating to use.
