The original online, open-access streaming service is a little bit harder to lock down for kids, but there are still some parental controls that you can set for kids, via your Youtube or Google account.
The app gives parents immediate updates when kids buy something, and let them freeze the card, or restrict its use in a number of smart ways. Go here to find out more about the Rooster Card; and go here for specific details on app purchases with the Rooster Card.

I have been experiencing network issues with my Netflix steaming. So the parental controls are interfering with the streaming of Netflix TVs/Devices and i have to reboot the TPLink WIFI router at every restart of devices.
Netflix support cant resolve this issue and they have advised that its as problem from my network service provider, My internet service provider also thinks it is the problem of the Router manufacturer.
I agree totally... 1st apple tv loving it for me and the wife. But parental support for restrictions for my 3 children not very well thought out. Family movie night browsing movies selections don't want see MILF or the blood covered movie title and the other inappropriate titles while looking at new arrivals looking for Disney movies or other G,PG, PG-13. Something should be done ASAP.? I love what apple has been offering for the devices but more control over them in the user hands would be more appreciated then these devices could be in every childs room... IJMS
4. Configure your new profile with whatever name you like, and a different "sign-in" name than your normal account. This is where you can set the profile to only allow certain content ratings. Set them up as you see fit. Click "Save."
5. Go back to your AppleTV. Logout of the current Netflix account, and log back in using the Account Profile sign-in ID you created on the Netflix web site. Yes, I know AppleTV says to put in your email address, but just put in the Account Profile sign-in instead.
It's working for me. I have my AppleTV set to login under a profile with parental controls, not the main account login. I just checked it again just now, and it's working fine. Maybe it's something with your account?
Ok, I should clarify... streaming to a computer or streaming to a Wii will not work unless you are logged into your main profile (Owner Profile). I am not completely sure about AppleTV, however, based on my conversations with Netflix support, they said that any kind of online streaming from Netflix must be done through the main (owner) account due to agreements between Netflix and the media companies providing the content.
apple please create a way to remove everything like search/genre/suggestion/tv shows and leave only instant queue and just for kids. There are so many familes with kids dont want there kids to access anything above pg
netflix start with 500 queue which was great 500 titles 250 kids 250 adult , apple need to add netflix setting to disable the search/ genre and when is off we get instant queue / just for kids two links.
To my surprise, I have discovered that your devices have almost zero parental control, and I find that to be completely unacceptable in this day and age. Being able to set a pin on the Roku channel app, an app that I have no idea what it is, nor have any interest in opening, is simply not enough control for the average parent in 2023.
It should be relatively easy for a large company with ample development resources to add simple features, such as: device access time of day limits, total time allowed limits, add/remove channel limits, pins for the entire device and apps, a mobile app to remotely administer these settings, etc.
We understand your concern about having Parental Control on all channels on Roku devices. And we appreciate you sharing your idea with us. We have added your post to our 'Suggest a feature' section of the Community to share your thoughts and suggestion.
If you want families to use your product you'll need to provide parental controls. I can't believe Roku leadership needs to be told this. It's simply a necessity nowadays. You could probably be legally liable for giving adult content access to young children. What if a 4 year old pressed some buttons and accessed adult content due to your negligence? Or young children or teens? Parents have rights to choose the media in their home. I guess we have to choose to not have Roku OR to hide the remote from kids, like what parents used to do 30 years ago. Unacceptable. Get with the times. Do better Roku.
I believe the OP and others who commented are clearly referring to the "LACK" of your current Parental Control options. When your child can view ALL the channel options, including PORN, that's clearly not an option. When your child can view ALL PG-13 and 14 channels, that is not an option. Many of us are trying to get away from Disney and Nickelodeon because of inappropriate content. There should be options to make everything except particular ratings and channels we the parents select, on or off The Roku Channel. Copied from the link you provided: "The Roku Channel parental controls is a PIN-based playback control that applies only when you are streaming content on The Roku Channel." Even with this option, children can view everything I mentioned above.
People have commented here to "Bring Back" the parental controls that you had previously. Nowhere does anyone indicate that they are unaware of the ridiculous Parental Controls Roku currently has available.
I purchased a separate Roku so that my son could freely have access to channels that are appropriate and okay with us. Much to my surprise, that's not an option and like others, I will be seeking alternative options.
To be clear, Even with your so called parental controls turned on, Children can still scroll through the channels and read the listings on those channels, including Porn, or any other channel you do not want your child watching and see whatever images those channels may be showing. This is just one point of the several others I pointed out previously.
A tv-screen-free option for inputting my PIN that will not show the happy * and highlight the number on the numerical keypad on-screen. (My kids are bright, that lasted one access before they observed my input code. I now have to chase them out of the room to input my updated, secure PIN.) Many apps are going to biometrics protection, so perhaps implement that security measure via the Roku Mobile App.
As other users have mentioned: If a specific rating or content restriction has been implemented, please remove the affected content from viewing lists, including images and descriptions. Even though it can't be selected, it is too much in this Momma's mind for my kids to even be able to see it *was* a choice.
Finally, a user specific option would be amazing. My older kids are more responsible and should have relaxed viewing restrictions. My younger two need a more restrictive selection. Having a PIN or pattern based sign-in or some other form of user choice that gives each kid (or age group) their own options would be handy. (Pehaps this is overkill or wishful thinking, but if I can choose who, when, and how long my kids can access their phones/devices via Google Family Link, it doesn't seem like too much to ask for my TV.)
Generally speaking I really enjoy my Roku 1 (2710 series) and the features of the Roku Mobile App. It is an inexpensive option that allows a range of viewing via the Roku app and other apps, and is perfect for my 1 TV household. I have recommended Roku to many people as an affordable alternative to other more costly TV, streaming, and Smart TV options.
For anyone with an iOS device that still has an iTunes app, you can block access based on age ratings by opening the iOS settings and tapping General > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Turn the Content & Privacy Restrictions toggle switch to On, and then tap Content Restrictions. Now you can set age limits for all content on the device, including music, podcasts, movies, TV shows, books, apps, and websites. On the previous menu page, you can set even bigger restrictions: Hit iTunes & App Store Purchases to prevent the installation of new apps and block in-app purchases, or tap the Allowed Apps option to completely turn off access apps like Safari and the iTunes Store.
Open the Play Store app, tap your avatar in the top left, and choose Settings > Family >Parental controls. Toggle the top switch to On, set a PIN, and go into the different content categories to set some age limits. If you need to lift the limitations, enter that PIN to turn parental controls off again.
