And you should be able to have more flavors in the store. I also think you should be able to do 2 toppings on each ice cream. And the spoons next to the cash register should have a use. You should also be able to pet the little kitty. But I still keep on playing and love this little kid app. Such a cute app. ### 5/5 — Tasty App! *2013-07-05, version 1.2.1* Love Bamba Ice Cream for its open ended play, its ability to adapt game play for multiple players, and the ability to make decisions! In this app, you are presented with a myriad of choices...sometimes that is easy for some kids to do and other times it is very difficult. First you select your ice cream flavors and toppings. They very from traditional vanilla to fairy sprinkles. Once selected, it is now time to open your store. You fill orders and pay the price you've set at the register. There is always just the correct amount of money - allowing you to count in a 1:1 correspondence. Eating the fun ice cream treat is the finale. This would be a fun game to set between 2 players - one to order and another to scoop up treats. You can teach listening to direction, task completion, and turn taking to name a few goals. There are links to other apps that are not tucked away. I would definitely recommend this game to beginning chefs. ### 3/5 — Good but... *2013-06-08, version 1.2.1* Kiddos love the game when it works! Unfortunately, it freezes up often and the kiddos don't get to enjoy it very often. ### 5/5 — My reviews *2013-02-13, version 1.2.1* Very good.

The only bad thing about bamba games that I have downloaded is that they usually end up freezing while the game is being played. It takes a to unfreeze , leaving my three year old sad and disappointed. ### 5/5 — The kids go back to this app all the time *2012-12-27, version 1.2.1* We love the bamba apps. We try new games all the time, but this is one of the faves, that all of my kids revisit.

Rated R shows. Inappropriate ads *2017-04-26, version 1.2.13* Want your little kids to see a fake dead body?? How about sex jokes? The ads that are now on ban a ice cream are not ok for kids. They should change the suggested age. Also, there are ads every two seconds now!!! ### 1/5 — Not shareable *2015-01-17, version 1.2.8* None of Bamba's apps allow family sharing.
