What you get for free
- A closed library built from the exact video links you choose.
- A profile per child, with separate libraries and progress, for up to four children.
- Optional YouTube playlists from your own account (read-only); you still review or remove each video.
- Chew to watch: the front camera and microphone notice chewing on-device.
- Watch Time mode: approved videos play for a set timer, with no camera used at all.
- All 15 buddies, Insights and the weekly report, Food Explorer, and reminders.
Is it right for you?
A good fit
- Families who already use videos at mealtimes and want more control over them.
- Parents who want a player with no search and no recommendations.
Worth knowing
- MunchGuard is for iPhone and iPad.
- Chew to watch uses the front camera and microphone on the device; Watch Time mode does not use the camera.
- It is a mealtime tool, not medical or feeding advice.
Questions worth asking of any app
- Is the free version the whole app, or a trial of a subscription?
- Are there ads, and does the app track you across other apps?
- Where is your data stored, and can you delete it?
- Do you need to create an account before you can try it?
