More odd than relevant informational videos, some mature.

What’s It About?
Sign in to EDUDO: LEARN WITH SHORT VIDEOS through a third party account, then choose your main interests from 13 options such as Arts and Culture, Business, Humanity, or Food. On the home screen, kids can swipe through a video feed that generates available videos based on the interests they've chosen. Kids can tap on the categories tab at any time to browse other topics as well. Each video is divided into a number of learning points, which kids skip to by tapping on the video. There's one multiple-choice question at the end of the video. Comment, share, or like the videos, or tap on a creator to see their video collection or follow them.
Is It Any Good?
A small number of videos with interesting tidbits of information or advice is lost in this peculiar collection of marginally educational topics. EduDo: Learn with short videos covers a broad range, such as beauty tips, travel advice, world news headlines, and activism. Sometimes there's information that teens may find useful, and some videos offer a unique perspective. Yet most videos are irrelevant, odd, or so superficial as to be not worthwhile. The multiple choice question at the end of each videos often has nothing to do with the information presented in the video, or is written poorly enough to make it difficult to understand that the question is asking. Many videos also may be culturally relevant for the developer's country of origin, but less so for a broader audience. Finally, although EduDo: Learn with short videos is described as a user-generated platform, it's actually not open for users to post their own content. And the developers aren't at all transparent about who the content creators are, how to become one, and what the working relationship between the content creators and developer is.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
