The Most I like about this is the Big Pigeon! Because you can record your answers to the Bus Driver! Then you sit back and relax. Then afterwards, you can save it to “Favorite Stories”. ### 3/5 — PLEASE FIX THE CREATE A STORY SECTION! *2025-08-07, version 1.4.0* My son's been wanting to create a story in the app but hasn't been able to - that part of the app isn't working. There hasn't been an update in 2 years... now would be a great time to get rid of some bugs. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good App. *2025-04-20, version 1.4.0* I think that this app is a Super Funny and Creative game that allows you to create your own stories with the Pigeon, my only problem with this app is that it’s $5 or $6. That’s a bit questionable. ### 4/5 — This is why my name is writer and gamer *2025-03-27* I play this game and I like writing stories however I don’t dig the fact that in egg it says by mo Williams and you when you did not do anything at all and also why do you have to record your name in chick stories? Other than that it was worth the 6$ of spending! Also this is kind of crazy buuuuutt…you could type your answer and a.I would read it. ### 5/5 — I also got the app Mo on the Go *2025-03-22, version 1.4.0* Both apps was amazing 🤩 ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing! *2025-03-10, version 1.4.0* I would give 10 stars if I could. Both my 6-years-old boys love it. One of them is on the spectrum and I’ve never seen him so engaged with one app for so long. Unfortunately they can play it only on my phone since Android (for their kid tablets) is not available. This app is wonderful and I wish the developers keep updating it for the future. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Awesome app ever *2025-02-25, version 1.4.0* It is so fun 🤩 and I love it 🥰 when you make your own story OMG SO FUN!🤩 ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2025-01-25* I didn’t realize how fun this game was until I purchased it last night although I never read any of Mo Wilem’s books in elementary school or as a child I’ve heard of this book series and love this game for its free play nature and creativity. When I got it I played it exclusively for the rest of the evening coming up with wacky stories for the pigeon to recite back to me enjoying every moment. Although the price tag is a bit steep it’s worth EVERY penny. I will play this for HOURS. A HUGE Thank you to Mo Wilems and the developers for an AMAZING game.. Parents if you see and your kids LOVE stories I can’t recommend any thing better ITS THE BEST! ## Frequently asked questions about Don't Let Pigeon Run This App! ### What does "Don't Let Pigeon Run This App!" do?
