Kids Video Channels 1.0.0.0
Nonetheless, there are a few useful apps that could come in quite handy in such situations and Windows Phone users can try one that is suggestively called Kids Video Channels.
Plain interface, with an organized layout
This utility comes with a simple GUI that hosts a lot of tiles, neatly organized into several categories and which make it possible to access the videos published in the corresponding YouTube channels.
The quality of the pictures used as thumbnails for the tiles is noticeably lesser than that of the preview images shown when accessing the listing of any clip. Going through the lists of movies is fairly smooth, but there is a large delay when returning to the main screen.
Browse and play educational clips for young children
Kids Video Channels offers quick access to several collections of nursery rhymes and songs that children will surely enjoy. Going through the lists is easy to do and the movies will load and play fairly quickly.
While the navigation is done in portrait mode, when playing a video the orientation will switch to landscape mode automatically and it is locked into position until you stop the playback and exit that screen.
Check out video details and pin shortcuts to the Start screen
This application offers a few details about each entry in its database, so when selecting a clip from the main list, inside the new screen that opens you will have the short description of the video that is shown on YouTube.
To have close at hand the songs and nursery rhymes your kid loves, you can easily pin them to the Start screen. Also, should you want to have the text displays inside the same area where the clips is shown read out loud, there is a function for that as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The looks of this app are common, without any polished graphics or visually appealing interface elements. The waiting time when returning to the main screen form a selected video is also quite bothersome from the visual perspective. |
Function9
There is a good selection of nursery rhymes and songs users can play, while the ability to pin shortcuts on the Start screen and use the app to personalize the lock screen are some neat extras. |
Security6
A very inquisitive tool, Kids Video Channels needs to look into many system areas unrelated to its functionality, like the phone dialer, location services, maps or owner identity. |
Battery6
On normal use, the power consumption is already high, but when used for a few hours in a row, the battery usage will increase even more. |
Price10
Overall, this app is a very nice tool to have as it will ensure children are entertained and also learn something useful in the same time. |
Compatibility8
Suited for use on the more modern devices, the utility needs Windows Phone 8 and above to be installed onto the target handsets. |
