I know I can block programmes by age but would like to be able to lock apps. I uninstalled You Tube on my Now TV box but my children keep reinstalling it. It would be great to be able to pin lock apps as well as restrict films/shows.
Solved! Go to Solution.

That feature isn't currently available on NOW TV boxes/stick, but it has been suggested before. It would be helpful if you could vote for and/or comment on the idea here to encourage NOW TV to take it up
If that particular feature is important to you, you could look at getting a Roku device instead (eg Roku Express or Roku Streaming Stick+ which are like a NOW TV box but have more apps and features) as they do have the ability to add a PIN to prevent apps being installed.

I am getting tired of repeatedly removing youtube only for my 6 year old to put it back on. My only option seems to unplug and bin the now tv stick.

Yes, and buy a Roku stick, which will still give you NowTV, plus the ability to lock out the ability to download apps.

please NowTV improve parental controls so we can have options on locking unlocking apps!
Youtube situation is getting out of control and there is no way you can police your kids 24/7.

Well, it doesn’t look like implementing this is a priority for NowTV.
But as in the Solution above, you can replace your NowTV Sticks(s) with Roku Sticks, which allow such locking, right now.
