YouTube's a pretty awesome service for people of all ages, but it's hard to restrict what age groups have access to suitable content. Sure, there's integrated parental controls, but they can be disabled with a mere click of a button — so many parents end up banning their children from using the website purely for this reason.
Obviously, Google isn't too happy with this decision as it means they're getting less views, and parents aren't too keen on the idea of preventing their children from using the service either as it hosts loads of great content geared towards helping their little ones learn.
In an effort to solve this issue, Google has today launched a brand new YouTube Kids app on both the App Store and Play Store.
YouTube Kids houses a variety of hand-picked TV shows, music videos and educational films, which are deemed suitable for children. Even stricter parental controls have been implemented, enabling parents to keep tabs on content, sound levels and screen time.
