Amazon Kids+ (formerly FreeTime Unlimited) Review 2023

The internet comes in handy in various ways, but at the same time, it is extremely dangerous. When you are browsing the internet these days, there are constant pop-up ads, some of which can contain pornographic and other explicit content. Also, the internet is filled with explicit music videos, vulgar language, and other inappropriate materials. These days, some people have come up with crazy ideas of even committing suicide and streaming it live as they do it. You definitely do not want your kid to see this. That’s where Amazon Kids+ comes in handy.

As a parent, you can subscribe to this service instead of trying to filter what your kid can do on the internet all by yourself.

Amazon Kids+ Review

Amazon Kids+ is a subscription-based service for kids that allow access to over 20,000 kid-friendly books, videos, kids’ shows, and movies. The optional monthly unlimited subscription offers thousands of content for children between the ages of three to twelve. What’s great? The Amazon kids+ content comes from trusted brands that provide content like National Geographic, Disney, Nickelodeon, etc. In addition, the content is regularly refreshed and updated.

Apart from the possibility of getting inappropriate content on the internet, parents also worry about their kids spending so much time on the screen. As such, the educational and fun app comes with parental controls that are easy to use. The parental controls allow the parent to strike a balance between education and entertainment. The parent can set educational goals, filter the content depending on the child’s age, personalize the screen time limits, and manage the usage of content and internet browsing.

You have the option of denying access to cartoons and games until your child has achieved a certain pre-determined education time or completed an educational activity. You can also set a bedtime, after which the device will automatically switch off.

To make it easier for you, the Amazon Kids+ content is divided into segments according to the kid’s age. There is content for those falling under the category of ages: 3 to 5, 6 to 9, and 9 to 12. Hence you can choose the content for your children depending on their age.
