1. 4/5Pbs rocks the brains of the little people.

   I loved pbs as a kid and still love it to this day. This is an amazing app because it brings with it old childhood memory’s. In the future I hope we keep pbs around with enough donations. Because I would extremely like it for my kids in the future as long as it doesn’t become some way of trying to manipulate my children through the shows. Please always keep it the same. Besides that I find pbs great because I have had conversations with other “adults” who are to “mature” for the shows 😂 and have found that pbs has taught me things the most adults don’t know, but here is the thing. I gave the app a four star because it doesn’t seem to be as organized as it could be. I like the individual tabs that show the shows and main characters. When you click on them though most of the episodes cut out before the show ends or begins or even in the middle sometimes like not all of the episode is there? Also it would be cool if we could just get all seasons and episodes all in chronological order like. Season 1 episode 1,2,3 and so on. That way the viewers can choose or pick favorite episodes for there kids. Or make it so you could bundle all your favorites together. I am so glad you guys have cyberspace and Clifford and many others on here. Coming from a viewer like me. Thank you! For creating such a good education program for kids. One of my favorites is Sid the science kid!

2. 4/5Ui oversimplification

   We really appreciate the PBS kids app for consistently working to not only provide but also regularly update their massive library of children’s programming while maintaining it free for everyone. We love being able to watch educational shows that showcase the variety of cultures, languages, abilities, and experiences of the world around us. That being said, we find the removal of the Spanish language toggle in the show options has made it a more frustrating user experience as we now have to go to each individual episode to check for Spanish audio availability. As a family that wants to expose our children to different languages, we found the previous version of the app extremely helpful. If future updates could take this into consideration it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much for all the work you do in continuing to provide accessible and thoughtful children’s programming, especially in today’s media landscape overrun with ai slop and low effort content.

3. 2/5Update Leaves a Lot to be Desired

   This is one of the few streaming apps we have to use directly from our phones, since our Samsung TV’s App Store interface is so bad that we can’t even search to find if there is a version of this app available there. Therefore, we have to use AirPlay to stream the content to the TV. This update took an already-buggy AirPlay experience and made it so much worse. On opening the app, it starts autoplaying (not new but still frustrating: please add a setting to disable that!). You cannot pause the video without tapping the video preview which then goes to a full screen mode. If you exit that mode back to the app, it begins playing again! If you then navigate to a show and begin playing a video on AirPlay, you, again, are in a full-screen mode and exiting it (or navigating away from the app) pauses the video again and/or begins playing something else. Lastly, the AirPlay controls on the Lock Screen seem to have disappeared altogether. The new update is beautiful and the old app did need a refresh, but there are so many bugs to be addressed around playback. I know this was built to be “kid-oriented” but with no ability for parents to control the experience their kids see, the promise falls short. Please add settings to disable auto-play, filter which shows kids can watch, and fix the AirPlay experience!

4. 5/5Weird, it only shows Daniel Tiger and nothing else for your children to watch

   Three stars because the power went out in our house and then back on, and it only shows Daniel Tiger available. A few minutes ago I was watching Molly of Denali, Elinor wonders why, Xavier Riddle and Mister Rogers. Please fix. I’ve just seen Daniel Tiger and nothing else! And I love pbs kids though I’m 15 and I’ll still love it in the future along with Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. This is on my moms iPad and I don’t know what iPad she has. I use the Mister Rogers song “it’s you I like” as a lullaby to fall asleep, it’s cute. Also, add Blue’s Clues and You, Paw Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Dora, Diego, and Ukulele You. Ukulele You is a show on CBC (Canada) Kids and it is a show about a Guitarist that teaches kids songs and talks about feelings, Holidays around the world, and so much more, please add that and KIDZ BOP songs to the app. Also, which Specific seasons and episodes of Daniel Tiger are in Spanish? Cause I was watching Daniel Goes To The Hospital, and that’s season 5 episode 10, (and with an IPad and IPhone 6,) I tried to change the audio and subtitles to Spanish, and it just reverted back to English. I thought you developers said seasons 1 to 4 of Daniel Tiger are in Spanish, as well as all episodes of Alma’s Way and Hero Elementary. Update: the app works again and add Paw Patrol, Blaze and the monster machines, Blues clues and you, but please for God and Jesus’ love, add Paw Patrol. For all the fans out there. Make sure you developers say something about Paw Patrol!!! Please add it!! There’s a Sesame Street movie but the TV guide says it’s Daniel Tiger …? Also, answer my questions one at a time. Overall, this app and the games app are great for anyone of different races/ethnicities, size, age group, or gender. Love it!

5. 5/5Thank you for being FREE

   Hello, I am a mom of a special needs teen I myself being an autistic adult with a special needs teen consistency really matters. When I had cable my daughter and I would watch the PBS kids 24/7 channel and our local PBS station alternating between the 2. I can no longer afford cable so I have an Apple TV device and we have the PBS kids video app. I’m so thankful that your app is FREE. Where as the competition channels are not free. You need a cable subscription which we do not have. But your station is FREE: I’m also so glad that you have brought back some of the older shows on the PBS kids video app such as Word World, Sci Girls, Mister Rogers Neighborhood and Maya and Miguel. My daughter LOVES word world we’ve struggled to find a place we can watch it and I can put it on for her my daughter is super excited for the new Daniel Tiger content coming out. I’m just all around so happy with your app. So thank you for being amazing and having an amazing app that we can enjoy for years to come.!
