[quote=Anonymous]When my kids started using tables/phones they were using youtube and no matter what I did to try to block content youtube always seemed to recommend something they shouldn't be watching and it would only get worse.  I have since removed youtube and only allow them to watch youtube kids.  Some things get through but very rarely.  I use an app called screentime on android (which you can lock the play store from running without a pin to prevent app installs) and on IOS I use the parental control features to prohibit app installs without approval as well as OurPact to lock and unlock the phones at certain times.  You can even block it if they are misbehaving for a certain period of time.  All free.  On the computers I block Youtube completely and use a free content filter called K9.  Easy to configure and free, you can set times, enable/disable content etc.

So far I have had no complaints.  They get most all the content they want via youtube kids.  Only complaining is when I forcefully block phones/tablets when they are not listening.

Hope this helps
