You’ll get a small screen and full contents is affordable. The game however will constantly crash at the end of each stage making me replay many times, which is frustrating and I gave up ### 5/5 — Please add more Carrie the Caregiver games!! *2021-11-12, version 1.7* I would love to enjoy more of the game ### 4/5 — Please make the game for a phone screen! *2021-06-16* It is one of my favorites but the screen is so small, it makes me cross eyed ### 2/5 — Carrie the caregiver *2021-03-07, version 1.7* I bought this game and it is not showing my purchases of this game Please fix it This game charge 2 times for this purchase of the full game ### 5/5 — Nostalgic. Super cute. *2020-07-30* I used to play this when I was you get and being able to play it on my phone now is totally cool and worth it. You have to pay after a few episodes but it’s reasonable. Love it! ### 5/5 — love it *2019-12-28, version 1.7* i love this game so much. when i was younger i used to play all of them on my grandmas computer every morning before school. You should try to add all of the other carrie the caregivers to the app store. i love them all!!!! ### 5/5 — Ahhh the memories!! *2019-11-04* I absolutely LOVE this game! I used to play this one and the Carrie the school teacher game all the time. Brings back fond memories of times when time management’s were a lot more fun. I am hoping this means developers and apple will allow the old school games like cake mania and turbo subs/pizza, coffee/restaurant rush, airport mania and all the others back. I’d buy them all. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2019-06-15* I used to play this game on my PC and was excited to see it as an app. It’s even better this way! ### 4/5 — PLEASE MAKE THE OTHERS AVAILABLE FOR IPHONE!!! *2018-04-30* I love this game so much and I used to play all of the games when I was younger. Please make it so we can play all off them on iPhones :) ### 5/5 — Love It ? ...But *2017-12-02* Love This Game Since Forever But When Is The Other Versions Coming Out. Like The Episode 2 And 3 . I Would Love To Have Those Also . ### 5/5 — Reliving my childhood *2017-09-26* I used to play this game all the time as I was growing up. This one and the kindergarten game were my absolute favorites. I’ve already bought the PC version and now the iPhone/iPad version. My only complaint is that I wish the screen was a bit more filled out instead of so squished to the middle. Other than that, the game is perfect. Childhood: Enhanced. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-11-10, version 1.7* Best game ever!! ### 5/5 — Looooove it! *2016-08-06, version 1.7* Love , love , love this game! So glad u made it for iPad .

Please add other episodes!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Glad it made it! *2016-03-13* Loved playing this on pc. But it was over shadowed by diner dash. So glad to have it back. It rocks as an app!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid for the full game, but couldn’t play again *2024-09-05* I paid for the full game, but couldn’t play again once I exited out. I don’t know how to get my money back. Please fix this glitch. It’s giving scammeerrr. ### 1/5 — I want the full game. *2021-08-28* I put more info out than I normally do on any electronic device just trying to pay for the game which happens to be a favorite like your preschool. You wouldn’t use my debit…I had to get wallet and go thru application process. I gritted my teeth the whole way and then!!! I was asked for my entire SSN #. How bad, how sad. Guess I’ll never ger to get your game because I will not put out my SSN on iPad. ### 1/5 — Fun game BUT........ *2017-07-18, version 1.7* Can only play one episode (one level) and cannot do ant In-App purchases for more levels and no baby savers. Love the whole game, not just 1/6th of it. ### 1/5 — Didn't get full content! *2016-05-15, version 1.7* I bought the full version, but won't let me play past episode1!! ### 1/5 — Will not let me play full version after buying *2014-06-02, version 1.2* I bought the full version it won't let me play it either fix it or refund my money!!!!!!!! I can buy this in my PC and not have this problem!!! ### 1/5 — FIX IT!!!!!!!!! *2014-05-31, version 1.2* Even after the latest bug fix that was supposed to open all the levels with a 2.99 fee, it still doesn't work. I noticed they took down all the one star reviews. Maybe if they fixed this or gave us all back our money it would be fair. The game is fun, the bugs in this game are not. ### 1/5 — Purchase full game= no game *2014-05-30, version 1.2* Upgraded to the full version and would not let me pass the 10th level ### 1/5 — Don't buy! *2014-05-26, version 1.2* Bought this app after playing trial. It won't let me play on even after paying for game. Rip-OFF! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2014-05-22, version 1.2* This app continues to "update" without fixing any of the issues. You get maybe an hour of playing time before it makes you buy the rest of the game, only to then not work. This game is a ripoff and until fixed will not be recommended!! I've played this game on the PC before and it was incredibly fun, but it's horrible when an app is created that doesn't work and rips people off! ### 1/5 — This game *2014-05-21, version 1.2* So are you going to fix this game or what? To me it seems they keep doing updates to just delete negative comments ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Favorite nostalgia!!! *2025-10-17* I love this game!! I played it growing up back when it was on a disc! I would love to have all the other episodes available as well, would definitely pay for them!!! ### 5/5 — Max *2025-08-29, version 1.7* The only way ### 5/5 — Where’s 2 (Preschool) and 3 (Camp Funshine)? *2025-06-17* It’s the exact game we all remember playing back in the day. Seeing how the first game has been available for like a decade I don’t see 2, and 3 coming to mobile, but it would be awesome if they did. ### 5/5 — Give us more please! *2024-12-16* Like another reviewer, I am also a NICU nurse and love this game! I’ve downloaded CTC 2 and 3 on my computer, but would love to see them come to the App Store. Please release them! 😄 ### 5/5 — So relaxing! *2024-12-06* Hoping that the rest of these get put on the App Store! ### 5/5 — My real life in game form… *2024-11-06* I’m a NICU nurse and while I’m going on 20 years of caring for babies both sick and well, I’ve also been playing CtC since it first came out! May seem silly how much I love a game that’s like my career, but it’s soothing to me! I’ve played CTC1, 2, and 3 on my laptop over the years, and I was so excited to see CTC1 ported to iPad. Please port all of them! It’s just so relaxing and helps soothe my brain to play all three of them! ### 5/5 — Great *2023-07-26* I love this game. Brought me to my childhood. However, I wish it was longer. Took me one day to get thru the whole game ### 5/5 — Amazing and cute *2023-03-02* I play this game all the time and love the other chapters that aren’t really available through the App Store I’m waiting for them to come out but play the original this game you will love it and think it’s cute too ### 5/5 — Carrie the caregiver *2022-12-29, version 1.7* So fun ### 5/5 — The cutest &funnest *2022-09-01, version 1.7* This game you’ll really love it’s the cutest funnest game I’ve ever played you’ll enjoy this game the graphics are so neat ty for making the game please make the others I’ll for sure buy them all --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
