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. ### 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!🤩 ### 3/5 — Fun but limited *2024-10-05, version 1.4.0* My daughter loves making the mad lib style story with the pigeon, but there’s only one story line. I wish there were a few to cycle through. For a paid app I thought there would be more. ### 3/5 — Best game ever but one thing. *2024-08-31* Hello I want to edit this review because I started playing a little more and when you create a story like you get onto it and see what you made at the shaking part and a shake it’s a little too much and then it keeps on shaking, shaking and shaking, but I got out of there and try it again and then on the shaking part, it automatically started shaking and it cannot stop so please fix the bug pretty please like if not I can not play this game. I’m sorry about this review from Lillian ### 4/5 — I love the game. There's just like one bug. *2024-07-29* So I have this on my iPad and my brother used to have it on his iPad. The only reason why I was talking about my brothers when he added on his iPad is because the reason why it's not on there anymore because of a bug it was that his voice recording wasn't working, even though he turned it on it was on in settings. We tried everything. It just never worked, but other than that he could do the egg which wasn't made by him. We could barely do anything in the stories. Yeah no one's gonna really be mad at anyone. This is just a little bug love this game just fix that. ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2024-07-08, version 1.4.0* It’s fine, it works, but it’s definitely not worth the price. ### 4/5 — good app would like more content options *2024-05-20, version 1.4.0* kid loves the app. would be great if updated with additional stories and interactive options. ### 5/5 — My funniest game ever😂 *2024-04-22, version 1.4.0* Once I downloaded this app, I discovered A LOT. OF. FUN. Every time I play it, the stories make me laugh like, a lot. Thank you guys for making me enjoy it😃! ### 5/5 — Soooo fun *2024-03-28, version 1.4.0* Reallllllly fun and Epic tooo ### 3/5 — Just. I don’t really play this anymore *2024-03-03, version 1.4.0* So this game used to be my favorites when I was four! Now I’m older. I don’t really play it. That’s why I’m writing a 3. I like this app just. A little bit hard!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Great game but.. *2024-02-28, version 1.4.0* I think that for the price it’s not really worth it and the game starts to get boring after about 15-20 mins, Plus I think that this game has been very neglected since it was made. No new features updates nothing, but this does not contribute to my love of the books, they are awesome, sorry I made you read so bye:) (by the way this is my own personal opinion, I’m not stopping you from liking the app) ### 5/5 — Game is to good 🤩 *2024-02-16, version 1.4.0* This game is to good and the mic works and my 7 year old loves it buy it now it’s to good👍 ### 4/5 — oh dear, mo really likes cow *2024-02-10* Please, please, please, PLEASE lower the chances of getting the mad cow as the co-author. I mean, when you start the game it’s and you. I mean, it’s a freaking COW! Lower the chance of and the mad cow, increase the chance of and you. (Edit: I know it’s a stretch, but at least add a feature in chick where you can choose between the following: You, The Mad Cow, Your name) ### 5/5 — Yes *2024-02-07, version 1.4.0* Awesome gam ### 4/5 — Good! Love! *2024-01-27, version 1.4.0* The game is so fun! But it stopped letting me do them. Like every time I tapped a button to continue, it teleported me back to the screen to choose what to do. Love it though! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pigeon keeps shaking *2024-11-05, version 1.4.0* This app looks cute and the drawing part is fun. But there seems to be a glitch because on the stories you have to shake the pigeon to start, but he won’t stop and the story never loads. This is unacceptable for a paid app. Plus it’s a little disturbing to listen to, especially for little kids. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-02-08, version 1.4.0* I love these books but the app never works for me. I’d really like to get refunded. ### 1/5 — I can't make stories! 😡 *2023-10-04, version 1.4.0* I just wanted to make a simple story but whenever I try to use the microphone it sends me all the way back to the home page ### 1/5 — Rip-off Don’t Buy. *2022-12-13, version 1.3* Worst Spending of £5 in my life, such a rip-off like, you get a tutorial on how to draw the pigeon and some books. Like, mic works and everything but the pictures don’t explain what the app is. ### 1/5 — Not cool *2021-10-30, version 1.2* When I was trying to do chick and egg it kept going on the big pigeon instead and this was my first time playing it. 😭😭😭😔😞😤 ### 1/5 — Buggy or just plain doesn’t work. *2021-08-31, version 1.2* Mo Willems should be ashamed of this. The Create A Story feature is completely broken. It just freezes on the loading screen. And there’s not much beyond that, other than a Draw the Pigeon feature, but that’s over in like five minutes. Stick to the books and steer well clear of this. ### 1/5 — Repetitive money grab *2021-06-26, version 1.2* Simply put this is a voice recording mad lib with no variation, and a barebones sketch pad featuring a two minute drawing lesson. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — Share? *2021-06-20, version 1.2* This says the app can be shared with family members. Exactly how is that accomplished? I tried the share feature but all it did was give my Grandson the option to buy the app again, after I already paid for it! ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2020-10-10, version 1.2* My kids are heartbroken. The whole reason they begged me to buy this app was to write stories with Mo...but when the Bus Driver asks for their name (to begin the game) it doesn’t hear them. I couldn’t even get him to hear me, and there is no option to type your name in...so it won’t allow them to play. Siri hears us just fine! What a waste of money. Big fans of Mo, but not this app. 🙁 ### 1/5 — Does not record *2020-02-23, version 1.2* This app does not record. It will ask my daughter to say something like what is your favorite snack.. and it would not recognize that she was saying something. This app was not expensive but for a $5 app, you would think it would run properly. I have downloaded it several times. Uninstalling several times and still doesn’t work. I am disappointed because my daughter had almost read every book from the Pigeon series. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — not actually 1 star *2025-08-19, version 1.4.0* it’s actually 5 stars ### 5/5 — I LOVE “BIG PIGEON”! *2025-08-14, version 1.4.0* I LOVE this! 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”. ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Win win! *2025-01-20, version 1.4.0* Are you laughing so hard about it? I am. I knew this would work with someone in charge like Fat Tom. Catch you later. ### 5/5 — Message to Mo *2024-11-08, version 1.4.0* Hi. I’m Sofia. Whatever you do, Don’t let the Pigeon Run this App! ### 5/5 — The pigeon is so cool! *2024-10-08, version 1.4.0* This app is so cool! The pigeon is so stubborn and funny. Just the right mix for the perfect app! Buy it! buy it right now! and trust me this will be the best app you’ve ever used on your iPad (or ur iPhone ). ### 5/5 — Kickass App! *2024-08-24, version 1.4.0* This app is awesome!!! ### 5/5 — So good. *2024-07-21, version 1.4.0* I ate ramon! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
