When you open the app, it automatically plays video hijacking your (and your kid’s)train of thought. There should never be auto-play on a kids app. The search function is nearly non-existent.

I have been using the app for a few years and it’s been great! But now I can not scroll through the shows to pick which ones we want to watch! Please fix this !

They don’t have any new every day and have kids watching the same episode over and over again that’s annoying so if you can just do that I would appreciate you so much thank you
