However, the very first time my son plays with numbers, the number balloons with the correct answer disappear before the bee even gets close to it, sometimes before he even taps the balloon. This causes frustration as the correct answer is not even showing part of the time. A waste of even .99 ### 2/5 — Bee too slow! *2012-02-12* Wish I could increase speed of bee. Gets boring fast... ### 3/5 — Needs improvement!! *2011-10-21* Great concept, but needs lots of work! Like adding more colors to Color section, ie. purple and brown!! ### 2/5 — Unfortunately have to pay again.... *2011-08-29* Unfortunately after I had to get a replacement for my iPad I had to delete all the apps, backing them up on my Mac.... Now I was gonna use this app again for my kids, but it wouldn't let me (them) play with the numbers and letters which is more important to me,at this point , than the colors.... I would have to purchase again, granted it's just a dollar, but I can just not get myself to do it, since I already paid... Really disappointing because it's a great app.... ### 2/5 — Liars *2011-05-10, version 1.3* They said it was free but when you got to the game it wasn't actually free ### 1/5 — Amrit *2011-04-07* A crap app. I paid for the upgrade and it doesn't work. This must be sorted as many people have paid for the app only to fond out it doesn't work. A waste of money. Everyone else should avoid this app. ### 1/5 — Upgrade *2011-04-02, version 1.3* I just upgraded to unlock the numbers and letters and it's not working now. What a rip off !!! ### 2/5 — Ruined! *2011-03-22* My boy loves this game and this morning I unlocked colors and numbers and now nothing works. What a waste of money. Do not upgrade ### 1/5 — Stupid App for idiot kids *2011-01-09, version 1.3* Simple stupid app. ### 1/5 — Boooo *2010-12-21* Where have all the other settings gone?and that's after purchasing the updated version too!!what number/letter/color to pop now when there's no prompt?how stupid ### 1/5 — Don't pay for the upgrade *2010-12-18, version 1.3* It makes the game not work. Very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Cute but can't unlock letters or numbers *2010-11-18* I like the concept of the game However, Like others I cannot open the letters, numbers or game Option?? Not sure why they say u will get these options, they do not give them too u. If u are just interested in colors then it's nice, but if u want the colors and letters don't bother. ### 1/5 — Crap *2010-11-02, version 0* As soon as I bought the extra options it became unresponsive to touches ### 1/5 — No support *2010-10-18* Have contacted publisher twice seeking support and no response. Would have expected more from this author given he supports his PC software very well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2017-07-18* It doesn't even give you the right option to choose from. ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2017-02-09* I just purchased this app because it came highly recommended however I don't know why. The game often asks for letters and numbers that don't even appear on the screen or the balloon pops before the bee has time to travel across the screen to pop it. I wasted my money and want it reimbursed or a credit for an app that actually works. ### 1/5 — NO SOUND. *2016-04-18* Zero stars, but that was not an option. NO SOUND! Complete waste of money! ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2014-01-12* I purchased the full version but it was a waste of money. They ask you to find a letter but don't give that letter as an option to answer. So my child is looking for "Q" but her only option are "S,A,B,N" Very frustrating, especially when I see my child second guessing herself on what "Q" looks like. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Huge Game Error *2013-08-05* This game has major errors!!! The computer asks to pop certain letters/numbers while those letters/numbers aren't even on the game board. That's very confusing for my son! Huge waste of money. I give it 0 stars if I could! ### 1/5 — No sound! *2013-04-12* My daughter likes this game but for the past week it has no sound. We paid for upgrade and no way to contact developers from within the game. ### 1/5 — This version only supports colors *2013-03-20* Letters and numbers have to be purchased separately. Not sure why apple approved thus since it does not match the description. ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2012-05-24, version 1.5* I download this app and it stops working an closes by itself I need my money back please !!! ### 1/5 — Paid but wants me to pay again :-( *2011-06-02, version 1.4* I'm not going to pay for the app 2x - the free version isn't working for me either - wry disappointed ### 1/5 — Played for 10 minutes and now broke *2011-04-29, version 1.3* My son played for 10 min and then it broke! I want a refund! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — entertaiing *2012-05-02, version 1.5* My grandson loves popping the ballons and learing at the same time, the video review on a4cwsn was very helpful in deciding to dpwnload this app. ### 5/5 — My 2 Year-old LOVES this!! *2011-07-18* We were having trouble with our colors and this has helped tremendously!! Every time I break out the iPad she says "Bayoons!" it's really been a great learning tool. ### 5/5 — My kid learned ABCs on this app! *2010-11-21* I have a 2.5 yr old who quickly learned ABCs and 123s on this app!! Prior to this app he was learning via flashcards (actual cards and other iPad apps). This app kept his attention better than flashcards and he quickly learned capital letters and numbers in 2 wks! (He already knew is colors, a few capital letters and numbers prior to app) He's now having a blast learning lower cases. Definitely worth a few pennies to get this app! Suggestions for the future updates: -option to change bee into other characters (i.e. birds, butterfly, etc...) -add more colors -in addition to colors/alphabet/numbers, consider adding objects or phonics or 3-4 letter words (for when my child turn 3-4yo) I highly recommend this app to all parents for their children learning alphabet/numbers/colors! ### 5/5 — Love it *2010-10-06* My 2 year old daughter loves this game. It is woth getting. Educational and keeps her entertained. ### 5/5 — Not just a time killer for toddlers *2010-06-29* We've been using this with my son for over a year on the iPhone, and it consistently brings smiles to his face whether we're waiting for a meal at a restaurant, or trying to help him develop his skills. Although simple in concept, this app helps with: - Motor development (hand-eye coordination) - Planning - can tap on a balloon, or drag a path for more fun - Recognition of letters and numbers, with different options - Color identification - Verbal - pronunciation, inflection The Idea of "cycles" from ABA therapy is also reinforced, the idea of sustaining interest in an activity, especially with another person involved. And now - iPad support! The app is a true joy to play on the bigger screen! Thanks, devs! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2010-02-06* Great for my 20 month old! He loves it, and is really recognizing colors and numbers a lot better now. Nice to have the ASL signs for numbers and letters in the corner as well to help me learn those. ### 4/5 — Daughter loves it *2010-01-15* Great app. If you have trouble with the upgrade with feature loss, just send an email to the dev and they will fix it for you. ### 4/5 — good app for kids but needs fixing *2010-01-09, version 0* please fix the bugs that happen on my iphone 3g. ### 3/5 — Keeps Closing... *2012-05-16, version 1.5* My daughter really liked this game but she told me it broke. Every time she opens it up it crashes. Pretty bummed! Please fix ### 3/5 — So so *2012-03-19* Overall this is a good app, however, I think it should be revised and not allow the balloon to pop if the answer is wrong. I find my son choosing any ballon just to see it pop, even though I know he knows the correct answer. Also, there needs to be more colors!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
