Dad Builds App to Control Kids' YouTube | Burlington News
Description
A dad fed up with his daughter seeing wild YouTube Kids content built a free app called GoCaboodle to let parents curate safe, kid-friendly video playlists. Designed to give families control over what kids watch — whether it’s animals, sports, or news — the app’s surprisingly popular, especially with parents wanting kids to stay informed. Dow blames platform algorithms for pushing inappropriate content, like SpongeBob in horror scenes, and his team is adding features like screen time limits to make the app even more practical. It’s a creative, grassroots solution to a growing digital safety challenge.
