It did not the sound doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Sound no longer works *2019-01-01, version 1.0* The sound on the app no longer works. We’ve had the app for 6 months and just have our son the characters and now the app sound doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Lame *2018-12-26, version 1.0* Songs don’t play. :’( ### 1/5 — Poor! *2018-12-26* My little boy loves the TV show so got the toy and download this app. Poor quality, streaming songs is very bad compared to other apps I use. It simply freezes mid video song, while you continues to sing... then unable to exit to get back to main screen in app! Was thinking of getting more toys but this...well, will be not purchasing any more! Very disappointed mummy and little boy :( ### 1/5 — 20 secs? *2018-12-26, version 1.0* Really lame having just 20 seconds of the tracks. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-10-10, version 1.0* The app doesn’t work. I bought all five and got no enjoyment out of these toys. Very disappointed.. ### 1/5 — Length of audio clips *2018-08-03* Audio clips only go for 20 secs each refuses to do all through any of the songs and the other app only has 4 songs on its list although it’s says there are 18 not happy ### 1/5 — Dont buy *2018-07-28, version 1.0* We purchased this for our nephew. The songs do bot connect with the character and 20 second clips is not long enough to keep him entertained. So its really a waste of money. ### 1/5 — No sound with the clips so doesn’t work with the toy. *2018-07-09* No sound ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2018-05-08, version 1.0* Have iPhone X and sound doesn’t work ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-01-20, version 1.0* Downloaded and deleted twice. I get no sound with the app ### 1/5 — I wish it worked *2017-12-27, version 1.0* Please fix the video clips so that they are the whole song, not just the first few seconds. Then it would be really fun! ### 1/5 — Only 20 second clips *2017-11-07, version 1.0* The clips are only 20 seconds long making this app, and the toy, worthless. Many of the songs have 10 second intros giving you only 10 seconds of actual singing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound *2024-04-30* None of the videos have sound, making the app (and accompanying toys) useless. ### 1/5 — Do not bother downloading *2021-07-21* Literally plays a 30 second of each clip and that’s it. Broken app that does not assist the Kumi toy ### 1/5 — Lame *2020-07-25, version 1.0* App doesn’t play any music. Playing some songs on a tv works. Not reliable ### 1/5 — App doesn’t connect to character *2020-02-12, version 1.0* We were so disappointed to find that the character, Jay, only plays 20 second song clips. We can’t get the App to connect to character at all. We’ve tried everything. I wish I could give this 0 stars. ### 1/5 — No sound on clips, therefore app sucks *2019-12-26* The app plays video clips with no sound, and there is nowhere to change it, so it’s useless. Please fix it ### 1/5 — App does not work *2019-12-07* The video will play but no audio at all which makes the app useless! ### 1/5 — So frustrating *2019-11-06, version 1.0* My daughter is obsessed with the beat bugs so I was very excited to get this toy. We bought the jay figure and I have had the worst time getting him to work. The app won’t play sound at all. I’ve checked my settings. I deleted and re downloaded this app. I’ve googled and YouTubed this. I restarted my phone and nothing is working. I tried the website and I can’t even find something helpful there. Im very frustrated and would not recommend this app or the toy. ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-08-10* There is no sound on this app! ### 1/5 — So disapointed *2019-07-10* Audio in app doesn’t work. Video loads and plays but no sound. ### 1/5 — Toy does not work with App *2019-05-05, version 1.0* Just received our Jay toy. While it plays songs when you press the button, it doesn’t work with the app. Very disappointed ☹️. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — My daughters love them. *2018-12-22, version 1.0* Got them as a set for Christmas. And when they all sync up and sing in chorus my daughters dance around and sing along. Lots of fun. Only wish there was a way to stop playing individual songs. If the button is pressed at the wrong time it can ruin the hole song. ### 3/5 — Works, with flaws. *2017-12-17, version 1.0* In theory, it works. The corresponding beat bug will sing along, however, the app is only a short clip of each song and the Beat Bug will sings their parts for the entire song. So, it’s singing along to a song that isn’t playing. If that’s fixed, it’s pretty impressive. ### 2/5 — Audio issues *2019-04-21* Audio that accompanies the videos only occasionally works. Kids/parents are disappointed their toys don’t work well. ### 2/5 — Agree with the rest *2018-02-01, version 1.0* Come on, 20 second clips of each song!! Would be a great fun toy, but the short clips make it kinda lame:/ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
