Still getting used to it, but absolutely everything about this is fantastic and exactly what I wanted so far.

Update: If I could rate this app and Aaron (developer) more than 5 stars I would!! He has been SOO responsive to suggestions (from my kids lol) and we are so pleased! I will happily subscribe and support this app! I had been searching for an alternative to the garbage YouTube spews out and where I can actually control which channels my kids can watch. There have been a couple of glitches- however the developer Aaron was very quick to resolve the issues and made immediate updates. I really hope he is able to keep this app going because it is genius for child content viewing!!
