YouTube Kids expands to UK, Ireland

Following a successful debut in the US, the YouTube Kids app has arrived in the UK and Ireland. Since launching Stateside in February, YouTube Kids has been downloaded more than 10 million times, and now a local version is available for users across the pond to download for free through Google Play and the App Store.

YouTube Kids connects young users with age-appropriate video content with browsable channels and playlists covering four categories: shows, music, learning and explore. Content suppliers include top brands like HIT, Sesame Workshop, Jim Henson, DreamWorks and National Geographic Kids. YouTube Kids can also be viewed on smart TVs and through Chromecast, Apple TV and game consoles.
