An useful app is not necessarily profitable
Tube n' kids was created to solve a problem. Making money was never its main driver. Unfortunately, every one kind of need to earn some, so now I need to learn to use the skills I put together as a developer to create something profitable.

From a developer's point of view, creating a full scale application alone forces you to acquire knowledge in many different areas. this is a powerful skill set that will help you tackle almost any other problem or project you choose to do next.

It was supposed to help people
Regardless of the product being successful or not, it was supposed to solve a real problem, to be helpful to people.

Hi Rosiesherry! Thanks for commenting.
Exactly! This is such a big problem these days, when YouTube became unavoidable for everybody, including children. I wrote more about this in the blog (https://www.tubenkids.com/blog/why-we-need-to-do-more-to-protect-our-children).
I'm actually having a hard time figuring out why this is not getting traction.
I have kids, for my younger ones they are not allowed on YouTube on the iPad/computer because they end up clicking on random/not-nice/scary stuff. It's horrible.
An app that allows you to choose channels that they can watch would be useful.
I stick to Netflix atm because of this. And even there I wish I could hide certain things (like Power Rangers, can't stand that stuff!)
