Small Glitches But Okay Overall. Changed settings to use data and for the most part, stuff played but every now and then I’ll have to shut the app down because it redirects to use Wi-Fi or turn off airplane mode. At that time of the stop, Wi-Fi is on AND airplane mode hadn’t been activated—not to add that again it should be using data. Aside from that, it doesn’t seem that more than one kid can use this at one time from separate devices. Will update later

How to cancel subscription!. In ITunes Store(not App Store), go to the bottom and select your Apple ID. Under the account settings menu that pops up, scroll down to subscription. You can cancel there. As for the app itself, you can’t see the selection until you agree to the trial. Lots of books, which I give 2 stars for, but almost everything in the video section is already available on Prime. Also, I hear on devices other than Apple, they have more options, such as children’s apps and games. It’s ridiculous to charge IOS users the same subscription price, but not give us the same content everywhere else. I’m sure the reason apps aren’t available is licensing issues with Apple, but at least reduce the monthly fee. Won’t be keeping the subscription...

Troubled Parent. When I initially chose this tablet and platform for my children, I thought I’d be able to manage my children’s content and that the platform would help by providing safe and appropriate choices for my little ones. Not so. Parents still need to stay vigilant about the apps their children request and recognize that the app companies are constantly trying to sell our children things, and to hold their attention. So, the struggle to manage our kids’ consumption continues!

Must have Internet connection to use. Very unimpressed. When using from an iOS device you must have constant internet connection, there is no ability to download videos or books for road or plane trips where connection may not be available. The free month trial said that subscriptions start at $2.99 for one child with a prime subscription, but it gave me no option to choose my subscription type (and nowhere to view or change it later despite spending way too much time looking for it) and automatically signed me up for the $9.99 up to 4 child non-prime monthly fee. Do not recommend this subscription even slightly.

Book problem. This app is good but has a big problem, say your reading a book, and then after a few pages you exit out of the book, when you click the book again to pick up where you left up , it forgets your place. You have to read a certain amount of pages for it to bookmark it. I was reading this book and was about halfway through, (it was a long book) I read a lot more, and was almost at the end, when I decided to take a break. When I opened the book, half my progress was lost, very annoying

Ok, Confusing that Controls Not in Alexa App. Setting up a child’s profile on Echo devices, coordinating wake words, and enabling drop ins is confusing. We bought an echo show so that other family adults, also each with their own echo show, but located in different states, could drop in on the kids and the kids could drop in on them. It is not self evident how to permit this. The device is terrific but the Alexa App and accompanying FreeTime App do not yet seamlessly work together. It’s a tough experience except for super simple tasks.

Great for kids books access.. It is unlimited books access for girls and adult. The features is that you can read books in any devices just download your unlimited apps and signing. It is portable; whether you travel or lying down as long as your device with you. Price wise, lower could be better since you use it every month . Highly recommended.

It’s Okay... I’m only 11 years old, and I used to have a fire tablet that has games and stuff on it, so I’m not surprised it doesn’t have any games. It’s pretty decent, I’m not gonna lie. But there’s MUCH ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT! Like the videos for example, I watch Splatoon 2 and other stuff but there’s only one YouTuber I never watched, he’s pretty okay but I just wished there were different videos with DIFFERENT YOUTUBERS THAT YOU KNOW. I also wish that for the unlimited version which I have, you could play games on it and have more access to more videos. Other than that it’s okay.

Time limits and educational goals don’t work on iOS. The content available in the app is great. 5 stars on that. However, I really want to use time limits and educational goals to require reading before video watching. We had an old Kindle Fire tablet with FreeTime where that all worked as expected. But with iOS, no matter how I configure things in the parent dashboard, nothing is restricted. My other complaint is that I have a FreeTime Unlimited family plan but the app will only let me select one child’s profile. I can see the other profile but I get a confusing error message when trying to select it.

Just ok. It’s nice being able to control the settings and time limits from my phone but it only works half the time, lately none of the settings actually go to the kids tablets at all so it becomes a giant pain in the behind. The app is useless if the settings aren’t reflected on their devices in real time, one of my kids it never reflects changes I’ve made on the app and the other ones it takes hours and other times they have to turn the WiFi off and back on. And they are always connected to WiFi so I know signal isn’t the issue.

Love it!!! Worth every penny. My favorite feature is the parent dashboard. I can pause my Childrens tablet from anywhere as well as adjust the settings. I love how you can add content based on their age and videos etc are chosen from reliable websites like PBS kids etc. I also love how I have the option of enabling or disabling web searches as well as you tube. Which I love because web searches and you tube are a big no unless it’s for school related projects and I am searching with them. With the parent dash board you can see how much time your child is spending on apps, reading, websites etc. I have the education feature turned on so my children do not hav access to any games or videos until they have reached the allotted time I set for reading. For example they have to 30 for minutes first. Once they have reach 30 min. of reading then all the fun stuff gets unlocked!

Good app, could be better. I wish there was a way to be able to control what apps/books/videos my child sees on his Home Screen. I also wish it gave a preview of what the apps are before it just downloads the app when you touch it on the actual tablet and also a description of each app for tablet on my parent app. Those are my suggestions to make this app better. I also think it could be a lot more user friendly when trying to filter what my son has access to.

Needs to be retweaked. Seriously difficult to figure out how to download books to your child’s account. Titles in Kindle Unlimited are sparse and not following the age range I’m setting. My child is 8 and growing and the books are little kid books. I’m working between my iPhone and the Kindle Fire 8 and I’m about to toss it all. It’s kind of the All or nothing mentality on the Apps too. I cannot block off Games I don’t want my child playing because it’s in the literature and it blocks my child from other games. Ggggggerrrrrrrr

I like it. I like the ability to determine what and how long each individual child can have on their device. At this point, the only thing I’d like to adapt would be the daily limits option(s). For example: if just one particular day I’d like them to have an extra hour, just that day. I’d like to be able to adjust or add without redoing their entire limit and then having to go back and change back to their original limit.

Page Numbers. I probably should have read through the reviews a bit more than what I did. I subscribed to this for my son to have more option for reading material as majority of his reading for school is nonfiction right now. He has to log his reading daily which includes the pages numbers. After beginning his first book we realized that there are no page numbers. So we checked a few more books and to our surprise there were no page numbers. Sadly we had to cancel as it is to time consuming to try to count the pages he’s read!

Great way to monitor childrens’ tablet time. The one thing I love about this app is that it allows us to monitor what apps and shows our child is watching, and it allows us to set specific times they can use the tablet. We can even pause/resume access if they are not listening or obeying their parents!

Easy for everyone!. The FreeTime app makes it really simple for kids to browse books and shows, and really easy as a parent to know they are not going to land on something inappropriate. I also like how it gives suggestions of new books and shows for kids to check out. Usually, when my kid gets “bored” with things, I end up doing most of the vetting to make sure the material is appropriate. This app gives kids a safe venue to check out new things and decide for themselves if they like it or not.

WhisperSync needed!!!. My daughter has an iPhone 12 for on the go and an iPad Air 4 that stays home and is her “main computer”. She has this app on both devices but the sync features don’t work. Every time she opens the app I have to manually find the chapter she is on in her book. That gets aggravating especially when neither one is remember what chapter she’s on. I absolutely love everything else on this app for her but the syncing needs work.

HATE IT. Not worth it. There is no real way to limit what is downloaded to my child’s tablet. I love the variety she has but HATE some of the things that are deemed “kid appropriate” my child is only 4 years old and found videos by “The Onyx Family” and has been saying odd things. I never would have thought it was from her tablet considering it’s mostly PBS and Disney content. I don’t know how those videos are appropriate for kids but it’s not for mine. There’s no way to put an age limit or block certain categories apps games etc. You can download just about everything they offer for free on a regular tablet with free apps and more control on content.

Good, but needs improvement. This app is great! Educational with game, videos, and books. However, improvements needed! When downloading I can’t delete the random books /games shes downloaded and it just sits in her downloaded file. When not connected to WiFi for car rides or something else the downloaded content doesn’t load and has a blank app with a making you choose blindly which app you’d like. Or freezes.

Great concept. Buggy and broken.. iPhone 12 Pro updated to latest iOS for reference. App is a wonderful idea but it’s broken half the time. It won’t update to show kindle reading progress half the time without resetting the kindle and the phone. Then even then it’s touch and go. When I go to add books from my library only a few are shown. Yeah I’ve played around with the settings and read the FAQ, boards , etc. it’s just buggy. Tried to uninstall and reinstall. Tried on different devices. For a paid service I expected better performance. Probably won’t be renewing my subscription when it runs out if problems aren’t fixed.

Has some good features.... Both my girls have a kindle fire with the kids subscription. We are thinking about getting an iPad because the fires can be quite glitchy and don’t work well for more than a couple years. So I downloaded this app on my iPhone to check it out. There are no apps/games. The books and videos are there but there are no games at all. The only reason I’m keeping the app is because of the parents dashboard. It shows what they have been watching and playing and how much time they spent on each thing even on their Fire tablets. I wish there were a way to access that information on the actual kindle fires but so far I haven’t found a way to do that.

Could be better. Why set up a pin if you have to set it up all over again everytime you go to access parental controls also why is there not a way to search added content that you want to remove, you have to scroll through every added app to remove access its not even in alphabetical order it is very tedious, its also frustrating that apps like netflix bypass parental controls and allow access even though kids have reached there time limits

Parental controls don’t work; difficult to cancel. New to this, but I downloaded it so my son could have access to lots of books to read. We download it and open it, and there are Super Mario Brothers gamer videos. Now our efforts to get him to read have turned into a tantrum. Updated: I spent a while on the computer setting up parental controls. However, they didn’t take effect on my child’s account on the iPad. So I spent the time to set them up on the iPad. Still not working. I can’t get him to read when there are a bunch of tv shows for him to scroll through before getting to the books. Now I’m trying to cancel the subscription. It’s not intuitive, so I looked up instructions. The options are not available within the menus, as it says they should be. What a waste of my time!!

Adequate Results but unnecessarily complicated. The FreeTime Parent app certainly has a good amount of control available. However it is extraordinarily unintuitive. As near as I can tell, in order for my kid to be able to listen to music I have to download ANOTHER app (the Alexa app) in order to enable “skills”. I can control exactly how much time my kid needs to read or listen to audible (and props for those being separate settings) and I can control apps and movies - but I need a totally different app to link my music account? 🧐 Also, it would be really nice if I could either make a separate setting for educational apps or whitelist a couple favorites to have a separate time limit.

Really great app for quick references. This is a really great app and I wish I could give it a better review however, longer books cannot be saved and cannot be bookmarked. My children get frustrated when they forget a book that they found and liked and then can’t remember what the title was because it couldn’t be saved anywhere for them. Also, for longer books there is no bookmark feature so they have to scroll all the way through a book which is frustrating for them as well.

Almost Perfect but For the Feature I Use Most Often. Really like the control the app allows. The feature I use most though is the ability to change daily time limits as a reward for completing chores. The daily time limit selector is a slider bar and so sensitive that it’s difficult for it to keep the selected time and takes several tries. It’s also only selectable in 15 minute increments. Please consider making a scroll wheel, like the iPhone timer.

Good, but could be much better. For young kids, this app is great. Lots of games, books, ECT for a good price without needing Wifi all the time. What needs major improvement is the parental controls, which is basically the selling point of the app. 1. The choices of time limits is "weekdays" or "weekends". We all know bedtime for kids is later on Fri/Sat, not Sat/Sun. But the app doesn't understand that. It considers Friday night a weekday and Sunday night a weekday. 2. The educational goals only allow you to block games until they do it, or just have a goal that means nothing. It would be nice if there was something like "you must complete 15min of reading for every 30min of games" or something similar. Just more goal options. 3. Kids get no warning of when their time limit is close. It just shuts off without warning. A pop-up of "2 minutes left" or something would be reasonable. 4. The phone app for parents will not stay logged in as parents. It always defaults to kid's profile. I use my phone to control their tablets. I don't want to go through having to log off the kids and into the parent dashboard every single time from my phone. 5. I would like even more control over what they can do. Getting the option to block certain things vs. only restricting by age.

Great concept. The concept of this app is fabulous. However utilization of this app is frustrating. My child try to expand the pages to see larger words and every time she would expand the page it would flip to the previous page or the next page. Eventually she just shut the whole thing down. So we were very excited about an opportunity to read some great books but instead ended and frustration. Please fix the bugs and release a better version of this app because it could be awesome.

App is glitchy, rarely works as expected. I have fought with this app for literal years as my kids have kindle tablets. The app frequently has errors and will not load the parent dashboard on my phone. When the app does work, the changes made in the app often do not get transferred to the kids’ tablets, or there is a long delay before the changes are made. If we are outside of wifi range and I adjust the settings on a tablet, when the tablet returns to wifi service, the original settings replace the new ones. Ironically, when I was asked for a review today, I was trying for the umpteenth time to load the parent dashboard and just received yet another error message. 😣🙃

How is this app $5 a month. The only thing meaningful you can do is clear ALL of the downloads, not one or two, all or nothing. You can also see what your child is doing on the tablet like how much time they spend streaming or playing games but that’s it, you cannot limit certain apps or remove a certain app. There’s no option to disable games while keeping educational apps active. You do get a year for free when you buy a tablet which are worth it but this app is all but worthless and should not have a cost associated with it.

FreeTime Unlimited. This is an amazing platform for kids. As a teacher, I am enthralled by the vast amount of book choices available on the app. However, I found it difficult to find books I specifically wanted my child to read because the app I downloaded onto my phone did not have a search bar. Hopefully, after perusing the settings, I will find a way to add a search bar to look for books. If I had not encountered this issue, I would have absolutely given the program 5 stars.

SEARCH BARS PLZ!!!. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this app! It's awesome because of all the books and I'm like a book fanatic... But there's NO SEARCH BAR!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! This is kind of annoying because the app starts me on a series and then- because of NO SEARCH BAR, REMEMBER?- I can't read the rest of the series. The search bar would improve many things. For instance, I would get to read my fave books when I forget them at home. Many people would be able to read books that were on their level of reading, instead of being forced to read children's books, which are on here ALL THE TIME, by the way. So, search bar plz! Thx.

Great BUT.... I just a stumbled across this app and it is amazing but it would be great if they added a list to save our favorites as well as a system to rate or give the consumer something that indicates what the book teaches (example: I don’t like just reading any old thing to my child so I would like to know before starting the book weather it teaches about motor skills, emotions, letters and numbers,etc) I’d also like to see other parents opinions of the books

Read a book by its cover. I just can’t understand why the table of contents, summary page and even the page numbers are removed! The only way you know what the book is about, how many chapters it has and how many pages it has is to read it. You can’t click on the book and scroll thru the table of contents either because they’re gone. And you’ll never know how many pages it has unless you count them while you’re reading. It’s difficult to know what books you’ll want to read if all you get is the cover to judge by. I really wanted this app to be better.

Parental Controls are a Joke. Absurd amount of content “curated” by Amazon’s “experts” with what qualifications exactly? Most of the content is extremely questionable. It may seem “harmless” because it’s cutesy and meaningless, but that doesn’t make it harmless. There is definitely great stuff in there somewhere, but it’s impossible for parents to control what their kids have access to. I would love to choose, for example, 5 apps and 10 books that are age appropriate for my kids and have those accessible to them, and then next week swap some of them out for other books and games that I choose, but there is no practical way to do it. Sure I could load it with content I want and then disconnect it from the internet, but then the content that I want them to have access to doesn’t work because it needs Wi-Fi, and the the parental controls on education first and time limits don’t work, because that needs Wi-Fi. It’s frustrating. I would love to take advantage of the good that’s in there, but there’s no way to do it. I’m right now canceling my free subscription that came with the tablet my youngest got for Christmas. I would rather buy apps and books that are good quality and good for them then let my kids by swamped with garbage every time they get on their tablets.

Why did u take out Spongebob. So I was watching spongebob with my little sister and then after season 2 .you guys took out season 3,4,6,7,8 and we really wanted to see those. Spongebob is childhood a kids dream and why did u take Spongebob out a lot of people watched it as a kid and if u didn’t....your weird ewwwww how do u live. but what I’m tryna say is that can u guys please bring back Spongebob and maybe add more seasons Spongebob is the most populist tv show there. Please bring back Spongebob and add more seasons , then I would rate this 5 stars please.

No page numbers!. So I like the selection of books. Problem is there are no page numbers and once you leave the app it starts the book over at the beginning and having no page numbers makes it difficult for my son to find which page he was on. So please add page numbers and fix the app that it actually remembers what page you were on and doesn’t start over from the beginning each time you open the app!!

Destroy this app.. This app made my mom upset, we logged off an old acc we didn’t use anymore and made a new one, different email, different pass, number, EVERYTHING so we went to the subscription page, hit “begin” or whatever and then..”Oops! You already have a subscription on another account! Login to that one to begin.” Now remember, this was an entirely new account. I loved this app but now I can’t even freaking use it. If there was such a this as “Negative Stars” I’ll probably put -999,999,999. I want this app to be TERMINATED from the store. I also DEMAND a refund. From, Your former user, anonymous.

App doesn’t sync to tablets. Despite being turned on and connected to Wi-Fi, changes made in the parent dashboard on the iPhone app don’t actually sync to our kids’ tablets. This includes adjusting daily time limits as well as pausing devices which are our most commonly used actions. Additionally, the slider to change total screen time doesn’t work at all in the iPhone app as it never stays where it was when user lifts their finger. It takes 10-15 attempts to get the desired amount of time to save and even then, the change isn’t synced to the tablet, which entirely defeats the purpose of an app. Total trash.

Parental control issues. The app is okay at best. When it comes time to pause or shut off the tablets, end of day times or time limits, this app doesn’t fully work correctly & must not be sending the messages to the tablets bc one & sometimes both tablets won’t respond. It’s very frustrating when we don’t have the control over the tablets that we as parents need. If this was fixed I could definitely rerate and give more stars but as it is now I felt generous giving 2. Please fix these issues.

Books can’t be downloaded, can only use if on Internet. I’m very disappointed. I was really hoping for an app that we could use to download books my granddaughter could have on the plane on our way to France and to read to her while we are there, so that we wouldn’t need to bring dozens of books with us, taking up space and weight. This is not the case. If I turn off my cellular and WiFi access, I cannot reread any books I thought I had downloaded. And I have just read that this app is useless and will not work outside of the United States. This on top of the fact that there does not seem to be a good way to filter through junk books, so that she only selects quality literature has this retired teacher feeling that this is not an app that is useful for our family. I do not want to have to prevent her from selecting the prominent junk books, to get to the actual quality literature. I’m very disappointed!

Could be amazing.. if... Ok let start with the good.. love the variety of books, games, and shows. We use these for the educational purposes. Love that you can set learning goals and time limits. Now.. on to things that seem to be pretty big issues that make me consider not repurchasing... it doesn’t seem to have a simple way to keep your child from downloading or deleting the apps, books, etc that are on there... so I have to turn off the WiFi on them.. which after a little while then the ones that are downloaded start acting weird and not working... plus every time they click something it automatically adds it to their carousel. I also wish there were descriptions of what the apps contain instead of having to download something that ends up not being what you thought. And maybe they could do something where a kids can add things to a wish list where parents can view and approve or deny a new book, game, show.. its kind of a bummer because I want to love the FreeTime and it really could be awesome if they got a few things working better and added a few management options. Really not sure we will renew.

App problems based on device. On my older son’s fire tablet he has the bar at the top on the home screen that allows him to select games, books, apps, etc. but when I open the app on my iPad, the app looks completely different. There is no bar, and none of the games or apps we have allowed him to download are showing up. We did not realize this was an issue until I tried to download this app on my iPad for my younger son and wanted to allow him some of the same games as his brother. We noticed that we couldn’t download games or apps. I thought this was a setting issue, so my husband and I took both the fire tablet and iPad and began to take a look around, only to find nothing. Yes, in the parent dashboard we can still set controls and pause the tablet as a whole, but all I’m seeing on his home screen is books, movies, and shows. We monitor tablet usage and his content very carefully, but shouldn’t both of our apps look the same???

Love this app!!. My daughter has the kindle fire kids addition. The parental controls are amazing on it. It truly is free time for her without having to ask for permissions or my wife and I wondering if she has downloaded something she isn’t supposed to. My only suggestions would be to add a nap time option to the parental controls. And this is on the fire tablet but add a cellular option please!!!!

No easy access to parent dashboard. My kids have fire tablets while I use this app on my phone just to access parent dashboard. This app requires too many clicks and manual authentication each time to access the parent dashboard, and the time limit is a hit and miss with the devices quite often not stopping even long after the time limit

Parental controls still do nothing.. NEW REVIEW: The new search is a welcome addition. But parental controls and limits still seem to have no effect at all on iOS. Why even offer them? It’s deceiving and makes the product seem broken. OLD REVIEW: Search and filters are a must. My child is 7 but reads at a higher reading level. There is no way to set that. And there’s no way to search for things he’s interested in. He’s far beyond picture books, but the Harry Potter books show up alongside the Pete The Cat books. It’s the most disorganized library ever. Also, I don’t want him watching videos or reading too late at night. I set those parameters in his profile on the website but they don’t seem to be reflected in the app.

Homeschool. Perfect for homeschooling! PARENTS, I strongly encourage you to invest the time to go through all the options available. You can block ANY (game, movie, book or title) by using specific words, Example; Blippi, scary, ghost, Halloween, devil, evil, or even Christmas, holiday or whatever it is that you don’t want your child to be exposed to. You can even block content that your child watches to much of. I LOVE THIS APP

Ok. But …. I appreciate the ability to set age restricted content, but I don’t like that I can’t limit the apps and games, books my 4 yo has access too on his screen. It’s over stimulating for me to see it all there , as I imagine it is for him. 95% of it he doesn’t use, isn’t what he is interested in or he isn’t old enough to play or understand without help from me. (Even w/age restrictions) The games and apps he does enjoy often get lost in the shuffle of hundreds of other selections on the Home Screen. I’d like to be able to save his favorites to the Home Screen and have the ability to let him browse everything else on a separate screen when I have the time and patience to help. I’m constantly having to go in and clear his downloads of random things he has clicked on only out of curiosity and not of real interest. They shouldn’t be able to download to their storage w/o parental acceptance from the tablet or the parent app. Because of these issues I am highly considering not renewing when our subscription ends. Please fix some of these things!

Need more improvements!. We have used the Epic app more more that five years and recently decided to try the Freetime app. to explore new books for our 9 and 4 years old daughters. Our fourth grade need to read everyday to complete her daily reading log for her school and need to record # of pages and time she read. In the Epic app I do not any problem with this; however, in the Freetime my daughters cannot use any of its books because it doesn’t show reading levels, book activity or numbers of pages for any of its books. I really like the app because it has a nice variety of books sadly my oldest daughters can’t use for school. It would nice if they also add a summary when pressing the book you want to read and also add a quiz as an option at the end of each book. I really hope they makes updates for this app. I will try it for a year and hope for the best!

The best!. The app is so fun and wonderful I love all the different books and videos!

Doesn’t connect with tablets. You get stats about what the kids have done, but it does NOT control anything. I can’t change the pin, turn off wifi, stop them from accessing videos, or anything else without accessing the settings menu on the tablet itself. Which means entering the PIN which the tablet says is wrong. And it WONT let me change it, help articles say it can be changed on the Lock Screen but THERE IS NO LOCK SCREEN! And as I said before I can update the pin on my phone with this app but IT DOES NOT TRANSFER TO THE TABLET!!! So I’m blocked from updating parental controls for pre schoolers. What logic is this? App needs a serious update so that it can actually COMMUNICATE with the tablets not just watch from afar.

Bad. Didnt suscribed to it, getting the charges on credit card and cant find menu to cancel. Stay away

Trump was better then this game. I hate trump and this game it doesn’t let me play it says that I need internet connection but I have internet connection this game sucks

No music or audiobooks. Disappointing that they have everything but the things that auditory kids like mine need. Audiobooks and music are a critical thing in my household. But they don’t offer it on here. Kind of a disappointment.

Sélection française pas génial. La sélection de livres ou d’émissions française n’est pas bonne. Beaucoup de livre en anglais sur leur application qui ont déjà traduit en français ne sont pas disponible. Beaucoup de leur livre français on une mauvaise présentation, genre plus un texte avec des images que des livres numériques. Ils y en a aussi plusieurs qui ne s’ouvrent pas. Je ne suis pas super impressionné.

So hard to cancel subscription. I’m still trying to find out how to cancel my subscription as it’s not easy to find it on the app or even on my Amazon account.

Doesn’t work offline. I got it for a road trip no way to download content. Glad there was a free trail just need to figure out how to cancel

J’adore. Les enfants l’adorent

I hate this. I never subscribed to this APL and I’ve been trying for months to try and cancel it and I can’t

Keeps telling me my country and region don’t match. Reached out to support a few times and nothing fixes this. Can’t even login with my Amazon account even though all my stuff is set to the same country/region

Why. I can’t watch super spy Ryan I search it up and it’s now there I hate this app!

No good. My 8 yr old figured out how to adjust the time restrictions on his device in less than a week. He changes the time he’s allowed to use the device as well as how long he can use his device. This this app is useless.

Très utile avec la tablette Fire HD. J’aime cette application qui me permet de gérer à distance le temps que les enfants passent devant leur tablette. Peut-être ajouter quelques app sur Amazon comme Teams et l’accès à Minecraft, et l’affaire sera parfaite !

No storage. I cleared the cache & all downloads. Still says 92% of all the memory is used. When I looked at the details, it says 8 gb are used by the system itself. All it comes with is 10.87 gb. It keeps freezing.

Parental Controls. Why is there no resetting the password or explaining why I am locked out. A pain and waste of my time fixing technical problems with the tablets!

The worst. No words

Worst game ever. It’s not letting me go in so I don’t like this app you should let me in or else I will leave the most baddest review zero stars

content. Super disappointed with the content it’s mostly books and smaller tv shows not a lot fir kids over the age of 5

Potential but needs work. We have this installed on our Fire tablets for our 3 and 5 year olds. I like choosing and downloading the content for them, and turning off the wifi so they only have access to the content I specifically choose for them. Often, however, the download will fail and I’ll be unable to access the content for some unknown reason. Also, there is no description for the apps, so finding something suitable for them involves a lot of guess work; there’s no way I tell what each app is without downloading and testing each one myself first. This is ridiculously time consuming. Recently, I put the app to my iPhone and was annoyed to find that there’s no way to download games or shows (just books), so my kids would require access to the internet to use it, and they’d be overwhelmed with thousands of apps and shows that might not be suitable for them. The best thing about the Amazon kids app was customizing the content, and that isn’t an option on iPhone. I deleted it immediately.

Can’t connect tablet to my entire echo smart home. Why is it not intuitive to have the tablet connect to my smart home.

Unpredictable. Picks and chooses when it wants to work. Sometimes will not pause/resume tablet use when prompted and the tablet is actually stuck on the Lock Screen as I’m typing this. Will not allow me to resume use despite having updated the app and restarted the tablet. Now this tablet is pretty much useless.

Very few controls over the actual content. You can’t control what your child has access to beyond what Amazon considers appropriate

It’s taken me all day to set up and it’s still glitchy. Not recommended

Ugh. Get YouTube kids instead. I just can’t give this app the time of day because of the ridiculousness we experienced below: Absolutely infuriating. It’s not that bad but my gosh, it shows episodes that you can have to subscribe to an extra channel to watch… ok. Annoying but fine. TURNS OUT: Amazon kids+ is a whole separate app. Aka it shows you episodes that you LITERALLY CANNOT WATCH ON THE PRIME APP! Extra infuriating because that app doesn’t exist on Apple TV 🙃 cue angry toddler. Ugh. Stupid evil mega-corporation. You would’ve even had my extra 5.99/month too if this ridiculous issue wasn’t an issue. Sorry Bezos.

I cannot figure out how to unsubscribe to this and my child subscribed. Huh

Doesnt work most of the times!. Wish they fix the parental control once and for all

Horrible. Bad

Sucks. Non explainable features

Why. I have a amazon account and it did not work fix this.

Subpar content. No YouTube kids. On IOS, cannot play games.

Not user friendly. I find everything on here difficult to use. Paid for apps, then they disappear. Try to download free apps and tells me parent must approve. Can’t find anywhere on the app for a parent to approve. Hate this!

Buggy and Difficult. Can’t add other children, fields that are required are not opening to allow typing.

Mauvaise gestion du contrôle parental. Amazon valide les commandes des enfants sans mon consentement

Can’t get into app. I’ve tried multiple attempts to sign in , is says get started then asks for your user and password for amazon then says it sent a OTP code but once you look at the text your code came and go back to the app it looks you out and can’t add the code I’ve tried 4x and deleted app re added same issue , can’t even use it

Terrible. So hard to find books. Hardly any content. I tried to unsubscribe yet somehow am still paying for it months later. Very unimpressed.

Not bad but one thing. Hi my daughter and I try to sign up but it did not work so I trying to find a new reading app

Lacks substance. Focused in social engineering and ignores reality and academics. Shallow shallow and very limited

I wish there was more. We have the free trial and I want to be able to download videos for our plane ride

Less than user friendly. I’ll be the first to say I love Amazon and almost everything they offer, but the kids app along with their kids tablets are horrendous. They are the least user friendly things to use. Nothing works properly. Storage is impossible to manage. The app actually doesn’t do anything useful. Overall terrible products

Lacking. Lacking the ability to customize, save for later, or download for offline viewing . Disappointed unfortunately.

IOS needs updating. The iOS version should have access to the games as they do on tablets. I should not have to buy two different devices to be able to access something I am paying for.

Turning off App Store access does nothing. I tried rebooting, using Parent App, nothing works. If you allow it initially you can never turn it off?

Sometimes works. Completely random when it decides to actually allow me to pause or resume use on my children’s tablets. Time limits? Sounds like a great idea, wish it actually worked. The idea they are selling is great, I just wish it actually worked!

Doesn’t work. I signed with my email and it still says to try again it sucks don’t recommend

Has potential. Not a bad app, it’s just inconvenient that you can’t login directly to parent settings and instead have to go through parental settings. It’d also be great to send a ‘ping’ to locate the device.

Amazingly confusing. Amazon is generally bad at UI. There are so many subscriptions that you cant figure out what comes with what

Poor configuration. Can't even set an individual app time limit

DO IT. Put games back because I saw this ad with NUMBER BLOCKS and I love numberblocks

This is the worse app ever. Nothing plays, not intuitive just a mess how do I even cancel the free trial?!?! Garbage

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Best kids app. I simple love it! From the age filter to the screen time. I love how much control this gives you over the activities your child can do. I truly love it! I got the first fire 7 for my 4 year old God Son and then got a second one for his sister. I just truly love it. Will absolutely get a next one anytime I can.

Works for most of the items needed. Works great for controlling the tablets. I do not get notifications to approve or deny downloads however. Also, playing games with my kids it doesn’t save my turn, it instead kicks me out of the game and we have to start over if my phone times out which is frustrating.

Missing almost every necessary feature to be useful. This app promises so much, and delivers a lot of valuable content, but gives almost no features to make the content useful. No abilities to search, look up words, highlight or take notes, bookmark, etc. It doesn’t even return to where you left off after you close a book and reopen it, and only has a percentage of the overall book to track your progress - there aren’t even chapter markers. This is really poorly done.

Wish it was books only. I understand that it is great to have options for children but I’m not keeping the app. I already allow my children viewing time for selected shows but when I want them to read from an app, I want to make sure that reading is the only option; not viewing. There are enough viewing apps - I needed something that wouldn’t distract from reading. Glad we have our library card.

No download option. I would definitely use this if it had an option to download the shows and watch offline. I travel a lot and would love to use this in airplanes or in the car without using data. But since there is no offline option it’s not worth the money for me.

The most aggravating experience!. I have had FreeTime for about a year for my two kids and it has so many issues itself that I’m about ready to give it up and sell the kindles....but I was excited about the new update and most especially this app!! But now I’m restarting my two children’s kindles, at least twice/day!! The FreeTime App doesn’t speak to the kindles and the actual FreeTime gives me “oops something went wrong” 3-4 times each day. I’m so over it.

Wish for more formatting options. Great and simple but I wish they had a way to make the bright white outline around the books darker. Almost too bright even on dim level during nap time and definitely too bright for reading before bed. Not sure why there is even a border around the book pages in the first place.

Wish I could tailor screen time by app. Great app overall but the iPad lets you edit es teen time by app vs overall screen time. I would like to limit certain apps like Minecraft and Roblox usage and don’t see the option to do that.

Terrible UI. Amazon’s UI is terrible, the fire tablet Ui is confusing and requires multiple entry of passwords when switching to parent profile, hard to find common settings and unable to determine why certain devices allow some apps while the other devices under kids profile have more available apps when all settings are the same.. kids trade tablets back and forth because due to some games only loading on one device or the other.. wish I had just stuck with iPads..

Needs to be more organized. I love it i really do, but the app is so unorganized there needs to be a place where all the books you’ve downloaded is and have it together like a “my stuff” folder or something. It’s very annoying downloading a book and then not being able to find it. Please fix this and I will happily give 5 stars because it really is amazing how much stuff this app has to offer but it really needs to be more organized.

Wanted to like. I was never able to get unlimited FreeTime to work for us. As a homeschooler I wanted to use it as a way to provide educational games and activities during class time but found that it was difficult to only add the apps and videos I wanted. It became a pain to set up repeatedly and we stoped using it for several months as a result. I let them start again but since they have access to all the crappy apps as well as the educational ones, I’m still displeased with it. I can barely tolerate looking at the kindles and rejoiced when one of the kids lost theirs.

Temperamental controls. We have 4 kids and have had Kindle’s for them for the past 6 years. We’ve bought so many that I’ve lost count. This app used to sync with my kids devices, but now it rarely does. I often find my kids playing when they shouldn’t be able to. I check the settings and they are correct on the device and on my app. But they just don’t work. It’s becoming more frequent and there is no rhyme or reason to it. I’ve tried updating everything without any success. Very frustrating.

Crashes Constanty. I got this to read a YA book the app has access to. It crashes CONSTANTLY. I’ve had to delete and re-download it three times just today. It might work better for a kid who’s not reading a full book, which is why I gave it two stars. If you have a preteen or teen who wants to read a whole book though, this is not the thing. It’s weird, because kindle is so functional.

Books should be authorized by parents first. Canceling subscription. We can’t keep up with blocking the flood of inappropriate content being pushed and suggested onto our kid’s device. All book and content suggestions should be first authorized by parents before they are suggested on a child’s device. Blocking books and content after finding them seems intentionally clunky, time consuming and difficult so that an agenda can be pushed with little parental interference. It is predatory and wrong.

Games and apps don’t work in iOS. 6-yr-old son very disappointed when we opened the app for the first time and couldn’t find the ‘“educational apps, games, and premium kid’s skills.” LOTS of books and videos as advertised, but it turns out that the apps and games are only available on Amazon’s Fire and Fire TV. REALLY wish they had made that more clear rather than saying “enjoy unlimited access...across all of your compatible devices” and then listing iOS as one of those. Will be deleting the app and cancelling our subscription.

Makes it so easy. Love that I can pause the tablet at any time from my device see what they are doing and when they fill up the tablet storage with useless stuff and are frustrated I can remove everything so they can start fresh. Great tablet and app combo for young kids.

Great idea not work needed. Having trouble deleting content From my personal account that I don’t want kids to watch but that automatically show up. Child is frustrated with items not downloading. Otherwise great idea

Great but... It’s a great App that is easy to use. However, I really wish they had a feature to read the books to you. My daughter is just learning. It would be very helpful and important to add a feature, where kids could have the book read to you, or an option to click on the word she doesn’t quite know, in the book, and it can be read to you out loud.

Good idea but needs improvements. The book choices are plentiful but as other have mentioned there’s no search function. Besides the lack of search function there is no zoom in either. The fonts in these books are so small I can barely read it. Not very user friendly at all. Even though there’s age filter, but I still find things that doesn’t seem to be age appropriate for my daughter.

Could use some additional features. Good app with safe access for kids to lots of great content. But there is no option to favorite videos or books for easy access and there aren’t any options for books to be read to kids, both of which would make me feel like the monthly price was more worth it.

Does not work!!!. Since the recent update the app does not work!!! Which has taken the fun out of me being able to stop my kids from having their tablet from the other room! Please fix!!!

Books read aloud. I felt mislead when we got FreeTime Unlimited for the second time after the announcement of 1,000s of audible books. I can’t find them using search. When we ask Alexa, she just picks one at random. My children are 3 and 4. They’re not old enough to read the books, can we have the option to have books read TO them. It would be an AMAZING feature. Listening to books without the pages in front of them is not easy at their age.

Pages glitchy. I would have given this a 5 star review, but pages in the books sometimes are blank and glitched out. How do I know? Just looking an the pictures makes me have no idea what’s going on. I also gave 3 stars because Once the problem is fixed and the books can be read normally, there will be spoilers.

Content only available for fire tablet. For iOS this app has little to nothing. I get much more reading material from Epic books. I really wanted the apps that were advertised for this app but found through digging and finding fine print that only the fire tablet gets this. I have iOS so only could look at books and a few shows. I’m very disappointed. This app isn’t intuitive and is a real bummer. Buyer beware if you have iOS you do not get everything they say in the adds.

Such a pain. There has got to be a better way of designing a more friendly, streamlined user interface that what this app offers. It’s one of those apps that just takes you to the mobile version of the website rather than making anything easy at all. Try resetting the parent pin for a fire tablet, for example. A seemingly easy task until you actually change your parent pin and it doesn’t work on the tablet.

Needs a Serious Update. The user interface on this does not allow for much- there is no way to shut kids away from games or shows. I have found no way to customize story options, or organize downloaded stories. What I find to be the worst though, is there is no warning when they suddenly pull a story from the service, on top of showing MANY book options in the search or menu that are unavailable.

Hard to use as a parent. 1. Not easy to find the parent log in. I have to hunt around and randomly start pressing around the tablet until I find it. Then it is clunky to use. The time limit feature is absurd. Why not use Time on & Time off! 2. Too MUCH stuff already on it. And much too hard to delete it off. And not real sure that it is actually gone. 3. My 4 yr old granddaughter has no problem using her games & videos so that is not an issue!

Great app but.... I love the variety but I’d like a language option. Whether Spanish books or subtitles in videos so you can learn Spanish or for other kids they can still engage in their main language at home with their parents. Also a search option so they can really explore like us grownups or teenagers do to find a book.

Does not have a list of audible books. I have found this app to be very frustrating, I bought the kids Alexa for my kids so they could listening to audio books. I have found it very hard and complicated to even find a list of audible books. When I ask Alexa for a list, “it usually just suggests the book for the week”, which I have no idea if the story is appropriate for my younger children. Any suggestions would be appreciated. At this point I’m ready to send the Alexa kid dots back.

Amazing but two problems ..,. The first problem is there is not my favorite games anymore and there aren’t even games and kids will be mad about that.(im a kid so im gussing other kids will be mad about that cuz i am too) problem two there are not the first episode of “just add magic” so kids might be mad about that too (im a kid so im gussing other kids will be mad about that cuz i am too) oh! And also, there are no longer the 👌🏻 piks just cartoons 😤

Parental controls are difficult to implement. I had no trouble setting up the account for my daughter but going back in to make relatively minor adjustments has been like pulling teeth. Not very user friendly with changing PIN numbers, managing downloads, adding additional adults to manage the account. Basically anything I didn’t set up initially has been pretty difficult to adjust now

Needs improvement. This app as others have mentioned needs a search engine. Though not many kids will know how to use this, some do. When a child is asking for something in specific it would be nice to search and it be there. Also the words in some books are so small and cannot be enlarged. I’m on the trial version at the moment however I don’t think I’ll be subscribing.

Great Concept if Wrinkles get ironed out. This app is great for younger kids! Lots of great books and more to choose from. I would like to see a function where the child can favorite things or add some Kindle features like highlighting/note taking/ maybe even emojis to respond to the text with! I also think it’s hard to read books with the fixed orientation and it would be great to zoom in on hard to read print.

Could be better. This is a fun app because it has books and videos. But the app could be better. One way is you could add bookmarks. It frustrating that the book goes back to the begging once you close it! Another problem is that I feel that there needs to be more verity of books. For example there’s only a bit of the diary of the wimpy kid series. I think that the WHOLE series should be there.

Clunky at times. Slow to log on. There have been way too many incidents where I couldn’t log in to manage my kids account even while on wifi. To me that is not acceptable. If my child needs to be off the app for whatever reason, I need to be able to manage it. Also, when we bought a new tablet, so many of the previous games and programs didn’t transfer over. I had to manually locate and redownload them. My child had to restart all of them, losing all the progress they had made. Some games that had previously been downloaded when free are now paid only. This app should manage all of that when transferring from one tablet to another.

Parental Controls Lacking. I got this app and subscription to have access to the books for my kids, which it has a good selection. However, I want to be able to turn off the visuals that access videos and games, etc. I cannot see a way to do this. I have checked parental controls and it only lets me turn off web browsing. I want my kids to focus on the approved content, not the videos that I don’t want them watching. At this point not even sure I will finish the free trial period. Very disappointed.

Good …But. Hello! Why I gave this app a four stars because I am trying to read some books on it but it is kicking me out of this app it would be great if you could fix this bug . This is one of my favorite apps and the fact that it is not working makes mu upset please please fix this bug.

Quit begging for stars.. I’ve had this app for MAYBE 2 minutes and you’re asking for a review. You get one star for being annoying. Maybe set the pop up to show after I have time to form an opinion.

Love the app. Love this app so much but I can’t find all of the My city’s and there are like 30 something of em. Please add them all my kids really want the star stable my city and New York one and last but not least the wedding party. Please add all of them and again his is an amazing app

Bookmark needed. Great app but if I’m reading a book & come back to it later, it doesn’t go back to the page where I left off. Instead it goes to the very first page again & I have to figure out where I stopped. There needs to be a bookmark function & also, the arrow in the left corner sometimes covers the content. Needs improvement on this end but good app.

What I think. Overall it’s a great app but I think it would be better if it could add more shows, my sons a big Mario and sonic fan, so if you would add the super Mario brothers super show, and sonic boom. But overall it’s good good app, and one more thing, if your watching a series like spoungebob, and when one of the episodes ends, it takes you all the way back to the Home Screen

No Text to Speech. Thought this would be useful for my youngest child who has ADHD and a difficult time with reading text. Trying to encourage him to like books - he enjoys hearing stories, but it doesn’t seem to be an option. Looking for something more than audible, where he can follow along with text as it’s read to him. Would be a lot better if a text to voice function could be added for kids with some reading challenges.

Do not buy these tablets. Horrible user interface and they don’t actually work! We spend a bunch of time downloading apps and content for our three kids for a five hour flight. Once we sat down on the airplane with them all excited to watch their new devices, we found out that NONE of the downloads work without wifi and you CANNOT connect to AA in flight free entertainment because the tablet doesn’t have a browser to open it in. Complete garbage.

Needs improvement. You cannot prevent or hide the entire app selection from the kid. They can still download everything unless you want to go in and individually block apps ! I want the kid to be only able to see the downloaded apps which is not possible at the moment. Plus every time you try to go to settings or dashboard the app asks for password. In the same session if you go in and out it still asks for password. Not even a fingerprint or face unlock !

One of the best apps for kids. My neice loves this app! It works great on the iPad and has tons of content that keeps her engaged - books, games, videos etc. I see my neice pick it up and use it quite intutively. It helps that the subscription price is light on my wallet as well. Extremely satisfied so far and I hope they keep adding new content for kids.

Best app. I love this app Soo much because I can track my little ones activity and see how much time they're spending on each game or book or even their web browsing. I would definitely recommend getting the kids Fire tablet edition

Can’t Get the app to open anything. I was previously able to open all the books without issue. Recently every time I attempt to open anything it say try again. There was a no message telling me what is wrong. I’ve tried to troubleshoot shoot but I can’t figure out the issue. There is no help option in n the app to know who to contact. Very annoying especially since I’m paying for a service I can’t use and unable to find out who can help me!!!

Spongebob for 3 year old is a HUGE dealbreaker!. It appears the iOS app doesn’t have a way to disable or remove content native to the Freetime Unlimited app. This is a HUGE dealbreaker for our family. I'm not even sure why Spongebob Squarepants is allowed in the 2-3 year old age range! It appears there is a way to remove or disable native content using a Kids Kindle, but there is no way to make these changes on an iPad using the Freetime Unlimited app. I love this app. It is perfect and exactly what we need for our daughter to have the ability to read purchased Kindle books and to have access to other content, but I will not be keeping our subscription if there is no way to disable this content that is NOT APPROPRIATE!!! I would be more than happy to contact the developer directly if possible to discuss these issues in more depth.

Needs more options. My daughter has Autism and cannot read at this time. I wish there was an option for titles or pages to be read out loud and highlighted so they can follow along. She doesn’t use the app much because of this delay. There are a lot of great books and activities etc on the app. I just wish there was something available for kids with special needs.

Really Good!. Personally, I really enjoyed this app, and I really like it. One thing that I like is that unlike some other apps, it does not charge you money if you are doing a singular account. In some cases, it has even helped my reading homework! This is a very good app and I highly recommend it.
