Unfortunate because I think my kids would’ve enjoyed this app. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2024-07-23, version 1.0.20* The app is glitched out and not usable seems to have been abandoned by developers ### 3/5 — I tried to go on it it kicked me off straight away I used to love this as a kid what a shame *2024-07-15, version 1.0.20* It’s ok ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-22, version 1.0.20* Waste of time for iPad 10th generation ### 1/5 — Won’t start *2024-03-22, version 1.0.20* This app was great but then it stopped working. I tried reinstalling it but it gets hung up as soon as I open it. ### 1/5 — It was a great app. *2024-02-04, version 1.0.20* Very useful app for toddler and child dental hygiene before the Apple update. Apparently the update to integrate Apple watch broke it. Unable to launch. ### 2/5 — Something is wrong. *2024-01-19, version 1.0.20* I use this app in pediatric occupational therapy to help encourage kiddos to brush their teeth. Although the song haunts my nightmares, I love it as a tool to increase their buy-in with brushing. Sadly, upon redownloading the app, there seems to be a massive bug. The app will not start and the graphic is upside down on my screen. I hope this can be fixed (for the kids, not for my sanity). Thank you creators. ### 1/5 — App is a rip off *2024-01-18, version 1.0.20* Paid for the upgrade for this app long ago and it has not worked in a very long time.. Do not waste money upgrading. App only opens on half my screen the freezes.. ### 1/5 — The rotating *2024-01-10, version 1.0.20* iPad is not rotating so I did we restart it and then it done the same But the thing is I it won’t work if it rotate to see you on the camera 😱🤔 I m definitely deleting it. Because it ok the animation was good though but good trying though 😀 ### 1/5 — Wish it worked *2024-01-05, version 1.0.20* No matter on iPhone or iPad, the screen is stuck upside down and won’t turn. Only half of the display can be seen and nothing can be done on the app. The YouTube video is fun. Wish the app worked. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — doesn’t work anymore *2025-10-19, version 1.0.20* i tried to use the app and it makes the screen tilt a certain way and says the internet connection doesn’t connect even though the internet is fine so this app doesn’t work how it used too ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-07, version 1.0.20* The app shows upside down and doesn’t work when downloaded. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-06, version 1.0.20* Used to use this all the time as a kid and now I’m 16 and can’t break my bad brushing habits. I descovered that I have two cavities that I had to get filled today so i decided to download it to try and get into better brushing habits but when i try loading it up the screen is sideways, cut off, and saying it can’t connect to the internet. ☹️ ### 1/5 — Is this app even usable? *2025-08-04, version 1.0.20* I just downloaded it and the image is upside down and sideways.

He loves the motivation for brushing his teeth is earning prizes, and he already has a plan on what to get. Considering this app stopped doing updates when he still had no teeth, I would love to see this bought by a big toothpaste company or a local dentist who likes programming apps in his spare time. As long as they keep the basic concept. It was clearly someone’s passion project, until it wasn’t, and I would hate to see Budd disappear when he is helping my son so much. I’d also like to see the events they use to have back on the app for additional motivation. This app does not work on newer devices. My son is able to use it on my old iPad and it works great. Any phone that is 14 or higher won’t work, nor will a newer iPad. And my child’s name is Child’s name in the app, because putting in a name crashes the app. WiFi no longer works and there is no paid content. That is another reason I would love for this app to be taken over by someone if the original developer is done with it. It really is great! ### 5/5 — this sucks *2025-11-18, version 1.0.20* wont rotate :-/ would smash the little blue clanker tho ### 5/5 — Omg this was so nastalgic *2025-05-30, version 1.0.20* This made me want to brush my teeth when I was little. I definitely recommend for little kids. ### 5/5 — App is upside down *2024-10-22, version 1.0.20* Looks like it would be a fun app! My granddaughter loves brushing her teeth with bud, but we haven’t ever been able to play the game. ### 5/5 — Best child hood game *2024-01-05, version 1.0.20* I used to watch this while brushing my teeth because I never wanted to brush my teeth so my mom used to make me watch it to learn and I enjoyed the song xoxo ### 5/5 — Amazing teeth brush app *2022-08-31, version 1.0.20* I had yellow teeth it made my teeth look amazing I think you should get this teeth brush app if you need clean teeth It definitely deserves a 5 stars I definitely recommend this app for nice clean teeth. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! I’m obsessed with it now after not using for so long, but anyway… *2022-04-23, version 1.0.20* …Hi, Nath’s son here again. Could you please fix your keyboard since it glitches when I touch one of the keys (for profile) thanks ☺️ ### 5/5 — The positive stuff *2022-04-22, version 1.0.20* Hello I'm Zara and I'm 8 years old I think this is a really fun and sensible since I found this incredible app I could of brushed my my teeth all day if I had the time ! (I don't have time Because I go to school ### 5/5 — Good app. *2022-03-30* I really like this app. All my kiddos like it, and even my nieces and nephews like it so much their dad downloaded it. It can glitch on the most recent iPads, where after brushing you may have to restart the app. But, you still get the stars and it rarely happens on my older iPad. The kids are okay with this though, because it is quick to reload and they still had fun brushing. *update,I originally gave this app 4 stars but upped it to five. I realized the glitch almost never happens unless I have stuff running in the background. This seems fair to me since this app records and plays video at the same time. That is a fair amount of ram! ### 5/5 — Best Kids Brushing App Ever *2022-01-16* My kids hated brushing their teeth. It was always a fight. This makes life so much easier. The song lasts a long time so they are brushing for longer than 2 minutes. They have to follow along and brush correctly to get more points. It’s genius! I can’t say enough great things! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
