With kids competent at working iPads, smartphones and digital television from a very young age, parents may often find themselves worrying about finding appropriate content for their little ones.

 

Well, life has just been made infinitely easier for parents in Ireland, with the news that YouTube has finally launched its family-friendly YouTube Kids app here.

 

Previously unavailable outside of the US, the handy app contains exciting and kid-friendly content from Irish creators as well as the likes of the iconic The Magic Roundabout and Peppa Pig.

 

 

The app is easy to use thanks to its newly-improved design features including larger icons and a voice search. And for anyone with concerns about safety, they will be relieved to learn that the app has various in-built controls such as password access and a switch-off mode.

 

Expressing delight at the launch this week, YouTube’s Head of Kids and Learning Partnerships said: “We’ve built the YouTube Kids app to be a safer version of YouTube, a family-friendly place for kids to explore their imagination and curiosity.”
