YouTube now has a mobile app for children called YouTube Kids. It is a "program" intended exclusively for the youngest, free of adult content and content unsuitable for children. Under one roof, only what is family or children's colored is collected - it can be shows, music videos or educational content. As of Monday, February 23, 2015, the app is already available to American children.
Mobile application YouTube Kids is a new move Google, how to lure as many children as possible into her "candy house", which until now her parents had warned her before entering. But the guaranteed safe use will probably soften many parents who until now were rightfully afraid that their child's path would cross inappropriate content. Now this concern is redundant, as this type of content will be inaccessible to children.
Will there be a mobile app as well ad filter before the recordings, it is not yet known, but probably the children will not escape them either. That's why they will escape all "unhealthy" recordings, not least because most of them are created for an adult audience. This is also what drove Google to develop special mobile software for smartphones and tablets and offered it on the Google website Google Play.

Parents will not only have to worry about children encountering controversial content, cheered by another piece of news. The YouTube Kids application allows you to determine how much time a child can spend in front of the screen, to turn off the search engine and to also lock it by entering a PIN code. The playlists are divided into four categories– shows (screen icon), music (radio), learning or education (bulb) and research (binoculars), and they are collected in a pile the most popular children's programs, including Sesame Street, Thomas the Tank Engine, etc.
Currently, the application is only available in USA, but should also turn elsewhere.
