All of them worked on my dad’s phone but not on my iPad! Although all the parts in my other apps work, Explore, Stop and go potty all worked! ### 3/5 — No landscape mode *2024-07-26, version 1.5.1* An iPad case is essential for my 3 year old, so any app that can’t be used in landscape mode is a deal breaker. Unfortunately, this app can only be used in portrait. ### 3/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2023-04-03, version 1.5.1* Darn! On some DT apps there is no sound. This is one of them! Grrrrr ### 3/5 — Please add in season and episode information! *2023-01-31, version 1.5.1* The songs are organized well. Though there could be more categories, the songs are relatively easy to find. My one big recommendation is to add in season and episode information. I would really love to have a discussion with my child, learn the song, then watch the episode to really drive the point home. I was surprised the developers haven’t already done this! ### 4/5 — Ok so… *2022-10-01, version 1.5.1* Sorry if this is a bad review but let’s get to the point. My mom didn’t want me to get a TODDLERS game or songs. I was like 5 or 4 when it happened. Please don’t say for adults because the adults or parents will say no for that reason. I loved daniel tiger back then so I really really wanted it. When I got it finally I LOVED It. So the game or song thing is really good other than that. Have a awesome day and thanks for being awesome. 😎😎😎 ### 4/5 — Daniel tiger *2021-06-14, version 1.5.1* I love Daniel tiger and it’s not loading so can you please load it can you please load it for me ### 4/5 — Lovely app but needs to be updated *2019-11-12, version 1.4.2* The last update was made 11 months ago. Videos crash and there’s many new songs that could be added. ### 4/5 — Short videos and songs *2019-02-21, version 1.4.2* We love this app for quick and free access to the songs. The video clips are maybe 2 minutes long. There are songs that say ‘new’ that are actually quite old by now. I can’t wait for some of newer songs to be added. ### 5/5 — Love this app! Please add more songs? *2019-01-30, version 1.4.2* Daniel Tiger is my son’s life coach. He has autism and Daniel’s cute and catchy songs help him for almost any situation in his day-to-day routines. He always wants me to sing a song first so he can sing it second just like Daniel and friends. The “Use your words”, “Give a squeeze”, “Daytime routines”, “When you can’t get what you want”, and “Frustrated”, just to name a few, all help him immensely and I am so grateful for this app whenever he needs a little short reminder, because it will always work for him :). The app plays any song choice clearly, has the lyrics, and has a clip from the original episode for reference. Runs very well, never had any issues. Please add more songs, like “Countdown to Calm Down”! ### 5/5 — Would give 10 stars if I could! *2019-01-16, version 1.4.2* This app is absolutely wonderful. There’s a song that fits for anything! My 3.5yr old’s behavior is improving and he sings some of them during times that they apply. I recommend this app to all parents! ### 5/5 — Good *2018-11-19, version 1.4.2* Very good 10/10 gold stars ### 3/5 — Update? *2018-10-05, version 1.4.0* My daughter absolutely loves this app!!!! But with the most recent update, all the videos crash the app. Is their something in the works to fix it? Other than that, this would DEFINITELY be 5 stars!!!! ### 3/5 — Crashes consistently on iPhone *2018-09-30, version 1.4.0* We love this app, however since we switched to iPhone X with iOS 12, the app crashes while attempting to play videos. Pretty please fix this soon! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not download! *2025-11-22, version 1.5.1* You just made me watch a Daniel Tiger video about mom Tiger getting mad because Daniel and prince Wednesday were pouring sand in the house, and then Daniel Tiger just came to my house at 3am!! And he gave me his Tigey and I was like no way! I don’t want you or your Tigey in my house! And he would get mad and grr grr and he does not use his words so I grabbed him and threw him out of my house dont get this app if you don’t want a tiger approaching your house at 3am!! 😱😨😰 ### 1/5 — DEFINITELY NOT FOR KIDS! *2024-03-05, version 1.5.1* This app has a lot of short videos to do, but I don’t wanna play it because it’s too long for the app. WARNING: DON’T DOWNLOAD OR YOU GONNA BE CRASH WALLPAPER AND GLITCHY VIDEOS ### 1/5 — I wish it worked *2021-04-01, version 1.5.1* I was excited about this app, however NONE of the videos ever play. Ever. Like ever. Which was the whole point, you know, to like hear the songs and talk about them with your kid, take pictures, reflect, all that wholesome stuff. But the whole point, to play the song, does not work at all. So there is no point. ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-01-23, version 1.5.1* Bad ### 1/5 — ... *2021-01-14, version 1.5.1* My 2 year old don’t like it ### 1/5 — he’s in my what now? *2020-01-23, version 1.4.2* ummm I wouldn’t want this short raindrop singing at my doorstep in the ghetto at 3 am, he thinks he can solve every problem in the world, pshhhhh, shut ur trap ### 1/5 — Videos don’t work on IOS 12! *2018-09-30, version 1.4.0* The videos do not work on IOS 12! ### 1/5 — Videos crash the app in iOS 12 *2018-09-23, version 1.4.0* My wife loves this app for our little one and I downloaded it this morning after I updated my phone to iOS 12 but the app won’t play the videos for me in my iPhone and it crashed the app. It works on my wife’s iPhone which has not been updated to iOS 12 yet. ### 1/5 — Can't even open the App - crashes instantly *2017-02-04, version 1.0* I've tried deleting and reinstalling; I updated my phone, restarted my phone and iPad, nothing I have tried has helped the App. It opens to the PBS screen and then the Fred Rogers screen and then crashes and returns to my home screen on both my iPhone and iPad...I'm still very interested in the app and I'm only giving 1 star cuz I need some assistance; other than the crashing (which is a vital, and takes complete priority) what I have seen looks great!! And my toddler loves Daniel Tiger, along with myself since I grew up with Mr. Rogers...I'm not giving up on the app I jus need some help ❤ ### 1/5 — Continuous crashes *2017-02-02, version 1.0* The app wouldn't even stay open long enough for me to select anything before it crashed. Tried to use it multiple times and it crashed each time. Looks to be just songs from the show. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Q *2026-07-15, version 2.0* ,.,. ### 5/5 — Dt parents *2026-07-08, version 1.5.1* I love this app and I explore nature ### 5/5 — So much fun!🥹 *2025-05-17, version 1.5.1* I love the idea of the game I’m glad I am able to play it !🏆🥇🥹♥️! ### 5/5 — Please keep updating *2024-11-27, version 1.5.1* Please keep adding songs!

Thank you for this app. I know I will be using this for a very long time since my youngest is only 7 months old. P.s. as a joke... I play the song at work too.... especially “use your words” and “when you’re mad.” Daniel Tiger’s life season also applies to adults. ### 5/5 — Love it! Please add more songs *2019-05-04, version 1.4.2* We love this app. However the "stop stop stop its okay to feel angry but it's not not not okay to hurt someone" song really needs to be on here. I use that song a lot with my 5 young children. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
