EduDo: Learn with short videos

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that EduDo: Learn with short videos is a feed of supposedly user-generated videos with light educational content geared towards teens and adults. Unlike open social media video-based platforms like TikTok, the videos here seem semi-professionally produced and the app's developers approve all creators before they can post. Videos last up to several minutes and address a variety of topics from healthy eating to how to create an elevator pitch. Any user can send a request to become content creator, though the approval process for isn't at all clear. At the time of this review, some content creators are hard to understand. To use, kids need to sign in with an account from a third-party platform such as Apple, Google, Snapchat, or Twitter. Kids also need to indicate their birthday -- though the reason for this is unclear -- and choose how many notifications they want to receive. Users can share videos through direct links to a variety of social media platforms such Facebook or Reddit. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
