Bad.... its difficult to switch settings and control the content set within app. I can't even set a default language so my kids aren't getting content that's in Chinese Russian or Spanish. It's frustrating because I'd look for them to be able to watch fun things but I hate that I have to go and manually block every chanel just so my kids don't get confused about language. They need to grasp English before anything else. I wish it was easier to get exactly what I need out of this app...

Gregory Bush, 2025-02-02Listen, 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.
