## What is Balloon Pops?

My daughter loves to pop balloons, she's 2 years old, all the other balloon pop apps seemed to be games, she just wants to pop balloons with no menu's or complications. So I made this for her.

Each time you pop a balloon another balloon will appear, there is a never ending supply of balloons, just pop them for fun. You can pop more than one balloon at a time using multi-touch and you have the option to disable the background music.

In addition to popping the balloons for fun you can also enable the counting mode. By pressing the balloons you will see and hear the numbers 1 to 10.

This app will also give people with some forms of autism concentration practice as well as to help with fine motor skills of children and people with autism and special needs.

### 5/5 — 14 month old is entertained

*2020-04-23*

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2015-09-03*

Ok for early touch screen users but it would be nice if it moved on to another level.  It quickly becomes boring and you can find similar apps for free.

### 5/5 — 2 year old loves it

*2014-04-20*

If your 2-year-old regularly steals your iPad like mine does, get this game.  My daughter took to it immediately.  And there are no ads or erroneous buttons for her to click on while playing.  I intend to look into other games buy this author.  Thanks Joe.

### 5/5 — Fantastic for special needs

*2014-04-16*

I have searched for ages for a pop the balloon type App where the balloons don't move and the screen isn't too busy and this App is brilliant. Perfect. The addition of counting each balloon as it pops (up to 10 and start again) is a great option as it provides added feedback that you have popped the balloon. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great first app

*2013-10-06*

Balloon Pops is a wonderful first app for learning cause and effect, pointing skills, and targeting. The balloons, when they pop give a satisfying sound, and kids love this open ended and little demand app! You have the option to turn the music off...a big plus. There are no IAP's or ads. - For kids to adults, Recommended.

### 1/5 — Broke.

*2013-09-30*

Blank screen. Only sound. Complete garbage...refund please!

### 1/5 — Black screen!

*2013-09-19*

I hear music but the screen is black!  Waste of $.99. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for.

*2012-09-09*

### 4/5 — Pop
