Re: Apple Sign ons
That does seem like a lot!
I don't know which ones will actually be useful, but I do know that a lot of the ones on my phone/tablet now are useless to me personally. All it does is take up space!

6,000 apps? That seems like a lot.
I'm sure there are some apps that are useful. It seems to me that's a huge number though. What's the utility of all these apps? Do they help or hinder the viewing experience?

Re: Apple Sign ons
The YouTube app can be deleted... And you can set the restrictions to require a passcode to install apps. You can also set restrictions to hide Safari so no one can go to youtube.com either.

Re: Apple Sign ons
@vnewman - Holy cow does YouTube push my buttons! My son watches the toy reviews and play-doh egg videos like they are his life source. And I can't stand them, they offer no meaningful anything. What I do end up with is an endless barage of new toys to add to the "I want for my birthday" list. YouTube would be my first choice for settings to allow parents to block various videos from being watched without a PIN, and those are all free!

Re: Apple Sign ons
@mhhf1ve That's really interesting, I don't know that I've ever had to put in a PIN when watching a Prime video. I'll have to keep an eye out. I do agree that would be annoying when the video is free anyway. My kids can watch all the free stuff they want - except YouTube. I really wish I could figure out how to get rid of YouTube on our tablet. My son gets sucked into the black hole of play-doh eggs and toy reviews and it's hard to bring him back out.

> " I woke up to find the kiddo watching ... YouTube on the iPad.."
Yup. Kids can figure out iPads and Youtube pretty quickly.. It's either impressive how smart they are.. or how good the user interfaces have become.
I once saw an adult try to pinch-zoom a printed MAGAZINE. Not a kid. A full grown adult. That is how ubiquitous touch screens have become.

Re: Apple Sign ons

On iOS.. I'd so glad I found the Restrictions settings where I can turn off the ability to install/delete apps... phew!
I just wish Apple would make a multi-user version of iOS! :P

Re: Apple Sign ons
@elizabethv - I hear on that. Paw Patrol is the bane of my existance right now along with Blaze and the Monster Machines. I'm amazed at what my 3-year old can do with my iPad and TV so I have to put as many safeguards in place if I don't want to dip into my retirement fund. The other night at 12:30am I woke up to find the kiddo watching "Ryan's Toy Review" on YouTube on the iPad. He unlocked it, found the bookmark and started watching apparently. So now I have to password protect what is essentially 'his' iPad.

Re: Apple Sign ons
> "You mean it's inconsistent?"
Hmm. I don't necessarily think so -- I might just not have noticed the correct pattern. Maybe there's a timeout period? I haven't been bothered enough to try to figure it out...
Or perhaps FireTV changes its settings for its sign-in requirements with background updates, and I noticed a change from previous behavior -- and now it's consistent? Amazon does tend to push FireOS updates somewhat randomly, and I noticed that the updates do affect the sign-in prompts.
