We recently got our kinds the Kids version of Kindle Fire and was really disappointed to find that some Apps are flagged as Entertainment. In particular, our schools use RazKids and because of the categorization with FreeTime there isn't a way for us to allow our kinds to read using RazKids without giving them access to all games.
I was searching around for workarounds but didn't find anything so I'm posting the workaround that I came up with.
The solution that I found was:
- Create a New Child Profile named RazKids
- Under "FreeTime Unlimited", tap the "Manager Your Subscription" and uncheck the RazKids. This will disable all the standard content that is provided by FreeTime.
- Now Tap, Add Content and select the "RazKids" app. This grants them permission to the RazKids app.
- Now Tap, "Set Family Goals & Time Limits" and set whatever restrictions you would like to apply.
By doing this, you'll now see a second profile that has access just to RazKids. The kids can now switch between the regular profile with full FreeTime access and this special profile to use RazKids.

I just set this up yesterday, now that my 6yo is home all day (Coronavirus shutdown in Washington State). Very happy with how it's working.
Thank you.
