For months Google and YouTube have had the industry wondering what exactly their rumored kid-friendly new venture would be, and today the standalone YouTube Kids app is launching. The free app provides a wide range of age appropriate videos and channels that provide education and entertainment, including content from star YouTubers like the Vlogbrothers and big brands like Sesame Workshop, DreamWorks TV, Mother Goose Club, National Geographic Kids, and more. The interface was built with small fingers in mind, with a pared down screen and large tiles that are easy to swipe. The app comes with strict parental controls, including the ability to limit time spent watching videos. (Kidscreen)
