★★★★ Ashwika Bhawani 4/11/2026 v7.1.14
I hate it cuz you didn't make any games in it and I forced my dad by saying it has games but when he donloaded it it had a lot of videos and I hate that thing and if my dad sees that it has videos he's gonna block this app so........ MAKE GAMES IN IT NOW

autoplays videos with no way to turn off.
★★★★ Scott Slobodian 3/7/2026 v7.1.13
terrible UI. Can't search , auto plays a video upon open
★★★★ Kristofer Shawgo 3/3/2026 v7.1.11
Needs a search feature. My kids will name a show and I don't know the thumbnail and when they move shows, which they do, you end up searching through everything convinced you just missed seeing it since it was there last week.
★★★★ Andrew Smith 3/3/2026 v7.1.11
no search bar
★★★★ Mark Sanders 2/28/2026 v7.1.11
nothing that keeps my child interested
★★★★ Rebekah Talsma 2/12/2026 v7.1.11
A kids app with no parental controls and designed to keep your kid staring at a screen. No settings to restrict screen time or content. Videos play one after the other. A video is always playing on the home screen.
★★★★★ Ann Dailey 5/2/2026 v7.1.14
no the games got bored my kids said that
★★★★★ Bleak Inferno 4/7/2026 v7.1.14
it's a good app when it works, but recently it hasn't been loading fully. it will get past the first "Youre watching WNIN PBS Kids!" but then it just gets stuck loading on the second screen...
★★★★★ Brandon Gwyn 2/10/2026 v6.0.4
