Big mistake! It doesn’t permit family sharing and I am stuck with a kids app on my iPad which my toddlers can’t use. Tried to cancel the subscription so I could repurchase it with their iPad but apple wouldn’t let me. I feel exploited ### 1/5 — SSL ERROR *2024-12-27, version 2.1.3* The app won't let me download the songs. I'm paying the subscription fee and cannot use the app. ### 2/5 — Game not updated for 3 years *2024-12-19, version 2.1.3* The first page of each number and letter is working, but when it goes to the second page where you write the letter or number, it’s not working. The screen either stays blank and nothing appears, or the character, grass, and letter appear, but not the insect. So it is impossible to trace and continue to play. The game is stuck. ### 2/5 — SSL error *2024-12-18, version 2.1.3* My son loves this app but now getting SSL error when trying to download the nursery rhymes. We’re paying for the monthly subscription for 2+ years. ### 1/5 — Just why *2024-11-27, version 2.1.3* My children never get this game so give it a one star because if there was more stuff when you just got the game like you only got one game to play so it’s really annoying and your children should even get this game it’s does not even make sense so if your children have to stupid game, just you know, your children are not learning and the people who make this game make a little stuff to it because you don’t get that many stars so I wish that we could just delete this game out of our life because it’s so annoying and my children never like this game because they never and just why the people who made this are stupid. ### 5/5 — Dave&Ava app *2024-08-14, version 2.1.3* P ### 1/5 — Song Won’t Download *2024-06-28, version 2.1.3* Songs won’t play or download ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Charged for a subscription I don’t want *2026-06-27, version 2.1.3* I signed up for a trial of this app. Somehow Apple to charged me for the subscription when I canceled my trial well before its end date. ### 1/5 — The app *2026-06-14, version 2.1.3* This app won’t let me download the videos so my granddaughter can watch them so what is the point? ### 1/5 — Won’t let you cancel sub *2026-03-14, version 2.1.3* Got it from my kids a few years ago, forgot about it. They grown up, don’t play. Try to cancel, and it just spins “please wait” and that’s it. Rest phone, updated app.. tried on other devices. Nothing. Don’t subscribe unless you plan on paying for a lifetime lol hopefully I can unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — The Best *2026-02-15, version 2.1.3* Dave and Ava is easily one of the best apps for kids, my son loves it, so why the 1 star? because after my son accidentally deleted the app and i redownloaded it, it hasn’t worked. it keeps coming up with a TLS (i think) error. there is something wrong with the authenticating handshake and my husband has tried everything on our end to fix it. my son has been asking everyday to get on the dave and ava app so hopefully this can get resolved quickly 🥺❤️ ### 1/5 — Tls error? *2026-02-14, version 2.1.3* Can’t watch any of the videos due to a tls error? I’ve tried troubleshooting with no results. ### 1/5 — No buggies *2026-01-08, version 2.1.3* We have been paid members on two devices for three years. The bugs for tracing used to work. They never do now. We won’t be resubscribing. ### 1/5 — Не загружаются мультфильмы *2025-11-10* Оплату списывают каждый месяц. А вот мультфильмы не загружаются,крутится загрузка и все. Выключали, перезагружали, переустанавливали приложение, проблема не решается ### 1/5 — I’m having problems with this app *2025-05-08, version 2.1.3* I paid for one year of this app several months ago. My daughter loves the ABC tracing, but the letters don’t populate most of the time and sometimes a letter will come up but there’s no lady bug so she can’t do the tracing. Additionally, only one of the videos actually work. The rest give me an error message every time I try to play them. I’ve tried deleting the app and downloading it again but the issues persist. Help! ### 1/5 — It’s just a rip off😒 *2025-05-06, version 2.1.3* I don’t know why people even buy this it’s just a rip off ### 1/5 — No support, ssl error prevents downloads *2025-04-22, version 2.1.3* I can’t access any videos and get ssl errors. I prepaid for a year. There is no support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dave and Ava *2026-06-11, version 2.1.3* Download The New App! ### 5/5 — Houston *2026-01-17, version 2.1.3* Texas ### 5/5 — Dad *2026-01-13, version 2.1.3* See ### 5/5 — Eg.
