Good app bad show

The app is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun

Moby

Awesome

No sound. Seriously?

No option for sound control. Using on an iPad Pro with iOS 13.3.1.

Rather maddening. This is the case for all the PBS kids apps I’ve downloaded. Can the Dev Team please respond to what’s clearly a design flaw with a solution?

My mute button is not on - volume is up.
My Bluetooth is off - no sound going to other devices
Sound works on various other apps (Spotify, other kids games, YouTube app, etc.)

Grrrrrr.

UPDATE: heard back from dev team. Current update should resolve the issue but have yet to do that. Response did mention i need to have volume switch turned on but I am using a 12.5” Gen 1 iPad Pro running iOS 13.5.1 which has no physical volume on-off switch (just +/- volume toggle).

Will revise star rating once this is resolved.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear about the sound issue you experienced. Please, download the updated app version (1.1.0), and let us know if that helped. It also includes 2 new games - "Veggiezilla" and "Alaskan Adventure." Finally, sound should be working as long as the volume switch is turned on. Do you mind providing more info for us to investigate? Which device are you using and with which OS? Thanks for your continued support of PBS KIDS!

Iove This App

My Kids love Playing This app

No audio

My son enjoys the PBS kids apps but it took a while to figure out the the audio wasn’t in the app and figure out how to turn it on.

The games freeze and glitch very frequently, but they’re free and educational.

No sound on iPad

This app works great on my iPhone. I cannot get any sound on the iPad version. Reboot, etc does not solve this. The bigger screen would be way more fun. Settings tab just lists my local PBS station. Any ideas? No mute button on as I just watched the news...

Great app and show

My wife and I are wildlife biologists in the Pacific Northwest. We love watching Molly with our kids, and really appreciate its well written and well sourced and interesting narratives on ecology and culture and history and critical thinking and everything else. We usually pick apart inaccurate science narratives in shows we wish were better made, and debate whether to let the kids watch them. We are very impressed with Molly of Denali.

I will admit that I don’t know what the kids think of the app yet. Because I’ve just been playing it myself for the last hour or so and enjoying myself thoroughly and haven’t told them about it yet; even though the content seems targeted a bit younger than my bracket. I’ll show it to them tomorrow.

Please improve your show by making lots more episodes. And please improve your app by adding lots more app content. My only real critical feedback is that your app needs a more robust settings functionality.....reset data, within app audio control, screen orientation flexibility.

Thank you very much for making this show and app.

Sincerely,

No sound 😢 -UPDATED-FIXED

Just downloaded it, and there’s no sound. I can read the dialogue, but my pre-K kiddo can’t read yet, so sound would help. Thanks!
UPDATE- PBS Kids contacted me. And Yep, I had the silence/mute button ON for my phone.
I switched it OFF and it was fixed. Silly mistake.
Thanks so much!!

So beautiful but glitch with the sound

Love it but sound stopped working !
When it was working, my son loved the map aspect and cultural teachings about not taking more than you need.
