I was hoping an update might come but still nothing. ### 4/5 — Sound is not working. *2025-10-03, version 3.0* The sound is no longer working on my third grandchild. They all loved it. ### 4/5 — Amazing. *2024-07-30, version 3.0* This app is awesome. Can you please get more scenarios include the forest,dinosaurs,the pond,the city, and bugs? Add more animals in farm:goat,duck,hen,Turkey,donkey and bull. In:Artic:Reindeer,sea Lion.Desert,Ostrich and more! ### 4/5 — Good fun for young toddlers *2023-08-13, version 3.0* My 18 month old grandson loves this game and remembers where to tap for each of the animations. It is good for teaching the names of the various animals too. ### 4/5 — Great app on phone but no sound on iPad? *2022-11-15, version 3.0* My LO thinks this app is hilarious as We downloaded to phone but we downloaded to iPad and for some reason the sound isn’t working? Would anyone be able to help? ### 2/5 — Sound does not work *2020-10-22, version 3.0* Don’t buy ### 2/5 — Terrible app have to waste your money *2020-05-28, version 3.0* It’s good but it’ I got it it was better I wish ### 3/5 — Fantastic *2020-01-17, version 3.0* This is a great app and my son loves it. However it does freeze quite often. And if you could do more updates with new things that would be great. I’ve had this app for 3+ years and nothing has changed. Please add a dinosaur scene. ### 2/5 — Cute app but back button doesn’t work *2019-09-01, version 3.0* My toddler loves this app but he can’t go back with the arrow to switch between scenes. I have to close it and reopen it every time. Really annoying ### 3/5 — It’s alright *2018-12-07, version 3.0* Fix the back button please! ### 4/5 — Keeps my toddler busy *2018-11-04, version 3.0* Great app. My son used this from 12 months. It’s educational and fun. He loves the sounds and it’s easy enough for him to play alone. Gives me some time to myself too. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2018-05-18, version 3.0* This game has no meaning or no point of getting it for your child. ### 2/5 — There’s no sounds *2018-05-05, version 3.0* There’s no sound at all ### 1/5 — Grand mom *2018-04-29, version 3.0* Don’t waste your money. There are a lot better games for kids. ### 3/5 — Freezes on the Menu Screen *2018-03-20, version 3.0* My toddlers LOVE this app, but it freezes more often than not when on the menu screen. I’ll then have a toddler screaming at me to fix it. I have to completely close the app and reopen it. Even then, it sometimes freezes again right away. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore partners purchase *2018-03-11, version 3.0* My partner downloaded this app onto her iPad and unlocked the games by paying £2.99. We have family purchase sharing switched on, but I can’t unlock the games onto my iPad without paying a further £2.99. This isn’t right. There should be an option to restore from family purchases. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-01-07, version 3.0* Cute app, but I expected it to have sound. Disappointed and deleted the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-09-22, version 3.0* What a stupid app. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-04-27, version 3.0* Installed and immediately there was no sound. ### 1/5 — Near constant app hangs *2021-07-01, version 3.0* . ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-06-08, version 3.0* App doesn’t work properly, absolutely terrible 0 stars do not purchase how they have the nerve to charge for this rubbish is beyond me. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money *2020-02-03, version 3.0* This app freezes, doesn’t play sounds, doesn’t allow switching between games even after I paid for the full app. If I could give it zero stars I would. Very, very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Sound stopped working.... *2019-12-15, version 3.0* I’ve had this app for two weeks. My 2-year old loved it, until the sounds stopped working. Please fix this ASAP! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-11-11, version 3.0* Bought the full app but none of the sound works on any of it now! Very disappointed because I bought the full app because my child loved it. Now it doesn’t work and it’s like a waste of money. 😔 ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-06-16, version 3.0* The app had sound when we first downloaded it, but the sound is gone now. App is not much fun without the sound. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2019-01-03, version 3.0* Can’t go back, arrows don’t take action. Have to close out every time. Wish I hadn’t paid for this! ### 1/5 — Poorly made *2018-10-24, version 3.0* I regret getting this app especially for the hefty price tag for crap. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER✨✨ *2025-06-21* This game is AMAZING!! All the bad reviews are cap (not true) I saw this lady’s review and it said “the play button doesn’t work” ITS A PUZZLE you have to drag the exit button into the other exit button 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱but you should add more levels my fav was the Antarctica level ❄️❄️🐧🐧🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️ ### 5/5 — AWESOME!!! Has NEVER failed in any way! *2019-03-26, version 3.0* THE BEST BABY & TODDLER APP I HAVE EVER FOUND!!! Has even snapped my son out of hysterical night terrors!!! I have ***NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES*** and it’s ***FLAWLESS TO USE EVERY TIME!!!*** So, if you have issues, make sure your software if up to date an/order device is compatible and contact the programmer because there must be a reason. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE NEGATIVE RATINGS AT ALL!!! It’s on my phone, my husband’s, my mother’s...anyone who spends time with my son...and works every time on every phone. Some of the phones used with the app include the iPhone 6, 6Plus, 7, 8Plus and X, and we first started using the app Spring 2017 and keep it updated. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2018-09-13, version 3.0* Fun for my 2 yr old ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-05-06, version 3.0* My little girl is a year and a half and knows how to swipe through my apps on the iPad to find this specific game. We used this app to teach her animals. She can point to each one accurately when we name it. She LOVES it. It was worth the purchase. She can scroll through and pick whatever scenario she wants and there's even a child lock on the game. Crazy awesome! This app is super worth it, especially after a miserable trip to the pediatrician for shots. 😅😇 ### 5/5 — 64 bit support *2017-03-29, version 2.4* Please update this app for the upcoming iOS updates. My daughter loves this app. ### 5/5 — Gfhfhh *2017-01-20, version 2.4* Hyhgh,vgvjvgjghgyghftdygydukpiohiuiuoioiouuj ### 5/5 — Toddlers fave app *2016-12-20, version 2.4* My 16 month old loves this learning animal and animal sounds app. She loves that some of the animals are hidden. Very happy I unlocked the entire version. ### 5/5 — Fun Learning for Baby! *2016-12-03, version 2.4* My son is 13 months old and always wants our phones to play with. Found this app and he has so much fun playing on it. The animal sounds are authentic and there's even a few surprises on each page. He plays the app every day at least once per day. It's adorable how he has learned on his own how to play on our iPhones like his older brother and sister. He just loves this app and we will buy more from this brand. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-09-22, version 2.4* This is a great app to learn animals and sounds. (: ### 5/5 — Great App! *2016-05-22, version 2.4* My son loves this app. It's a great way for him to learn animals and have fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
