Spotify Kids 4+

Not to be rude, but I think you should update this app every now and then and add more recent songs like bad blood, never be lonely, Alibi etc. Second, you only have one playlist for favourites this is fine but you should at least allow us to create our own separate playlists instead of just having one. Thirdly, you make it so that it doesn’t have swearing songs but at least the clean versions of them. EG: Astronaut in the ocean. Or you could just mute out the swearing parts by editing them. They are just recommendations but overall, I do love the app.

This app is for very young children. Maybe up to 5 years. Big downgrade from normal app. With this app my kids can’t use external speaker like google play. They can’t add albums or playlists, so audiobooks are very difficult to save - you have to safe each track and in the correct order to favorite folder. This is pain when each book has 20 tracks. I appreciate that it’s supposed to be safe for younger kids, but considering they are 6 and 9 and can’t use regular app (account age restriction) this is a real letdown. When they used my account they were able to listen to different audiobooks offline. I decided to upgrade to family plan so they don’t have to be offline on their devices all the time but it seems that I got myself to worse situation then before. A real let down. Please consider that kids in this age are not stupid and can do more complex things than just safe favorite songs to a single list.

The list of playlists available is very limited which is frustrating when you’ve used a playlist on your own account for bedtime that isn’t in this list E.g. Disney Piano (not Disney Peaceful Piano which is available). The app also doesn’t connect to anything that isn’t AirPlay enabled so the smart speaker we use around the house. We use an Echo in the nursery to play lullabies and audiobooks for bedtime and nap times and now we can’t do this using this app. Therefore for modern households who incorporate these devices into their sleep routines this app is pointless. We wanted to not ruin our algorithm by playing kids content via smart speakers around the house but I guess we’ll have to keep doing that.
Whilst this app is useful when you’re travelling and using a single device like a kids iPad it’s effectively pointless for sleep time routines or around the house use with multiple devices.
