### 4/5 — Cool but I want items to go through doors

*2026-07-30, version 4.6.11*

I loved to play this when I watched Daniel Tiger. There was so many things to do and they include most of the main characters. (Except Chrissy :( ) But I would love it if items could go through doors. And include Daniel’s friends’s parents.

### 4/5 — Fun, but needs more.

*2025-08-18, version 5.4.1*

I love this game but I feel like there needs to be more places. Like the houses, the post office, and more characters! Those are my only complaints. Other than that, good game!

### 4/5 — Pls read

*2025-05-05, version 5.4.1*

I love it so much and I really want to have Daniel’s house please thank you for reading

### 4/5 — Pretty fun, but…

*2024-12-13*

This app is pretty fine but it needs a post office, a dentist office, and that objects need to be able to travel through doors and please make it so you can take groceries to the house besides that this app is really fun😉

### 2/5 — Winter update and paint option

*2024-12-12, version 5.3*

My daughter has seen the winter update online and is patiently waiting for the update. She’s a little bummed about the paint option as she’s not asleep to lift her hand to create.

### 4/5 — Pretty “grr-iffic” but….

*2024-11-17, version 5.3*

Hey hey hey! So I just want to let you know that I love the Daniel Tiger show and apps but please make it update in which you can add in prince Wednesday’s cousin “Chrissie” and that she comes with her leg braces and crutches, add in trolley, so that the characters can get to someplace faster.. add in Daniel and his friends’ houses, add in Daniel’s “grandpere” add in more places that were seen in episodes. For example, add in the hospital from the recent episode and more

### 3/5 — Cool but meh at the same time

*2024-06-18, version 5.3*

Ok so the blocks on the schools chalk board should not collide with each other 🥺 plz fix that

### 4/5 — Needs a few changes

*2023-11-15, version 5.1*

It needs his house and to be able to put items through doors also, they need emotions! The last things is that, is that they need more buildings and food. They also need more clothes. Overall for the rest of the app, it's a amazing one and I would recommend this app!

### 4/5 — I|I review I|I

*2023-07-19, version 5.0*

i like this game but there should be a few changes. ( #1 from most important to #10 least important )

 1. add daniel’s and his friends homes

 2. add more places including daycare, library, etc 

 3. let us bring stuff out of the door from places 

4. make more clothes so we can change the outfits of the characters

5.

### 5/5 — fun but I have ideas

*2023-07-12, version 5.0*

Hello I love this game because I can role-play and play with all the characters and go to the bakery, music store, school and the park. I love the idea, but are some stuff that could’ve been added. like I wish you would’ve added, Daniel tiger’s house and his friends houses. I also wished you added Daniel tiger friend’s parents. Like who is taking care of them then? Overall I love this game I also love the show Daniel tiger thanks bye

### 2/5 — Characters do not speak…

*2023-04-05, version 5.0*

This needs to be updated so that the characters speak… boring for kids to just shift characters around and they don’t speak when the toddler uses that character

### 5/5 — Best game ever 🤩🤩🤩🤩

*2023-03-03, version 4.9*

### 1/5 — F

*2025-11-30, version 4.6.11*

Hate it
Refund my money

### 1/5 — You just made me waste my money on stupidity

*2025-11-22, version 4.6.11*

All you do is move characters, enter buildings, feed the characters, move objects, and play minigames. Thats it. It should be more like Toca World

### 1/5 — Sad backstory…

*2025-09-06, version 5.4.1*

The reason why the houses aren’t added in this game is because a fire just came and burned down all the houses, which makes Daniel and his friends homeless. Don’t get this app as your child will cry.

### 1/5 — The Music Store

*2025-07-14, version 5.4.1*

Remove the stage if you want a 5-star review from me.

Waste of $3, no lie.

### 1/5 — Gross sound world

*2025-04-15, version 5.4*

I hear the sounds being gross. It’s like eating a rock, walking on wet moss. 

 CHANGE YOUR SOUNDS

### 1/5 — Too boring 😔

*2023-08-20*

Please please please include the new friends from the recent episodes: Max and the other boy (can’t remember his name)☹️ and their houses and parents. 🥺🙏Also make daniels friends parents and homes😫. Daniel should have a home too. Please make trolley and other places: the playground, the clock factory, the post office, the crayon factory and the library.😭 Please make the items travel through doors.😢😢😢 Please make Baker Aker and other workers in the character bar. Please add some clothes and glasses to put on the characters. Please make tigey and other stuffed animals from daniels friends. Please open the boxes 😩so that items can come out of them and please let us put stuff in the lunchbox and backpack. Please make Katerina, O the owl and Jodi’s backpacks too. Please make Daniel eat the bread and cakes. 😠😭Please interact with balls and toy vehicles so you can take them wherever, not only roll them.
Please make it so that when you come out of a location, everything will not reset. Please make everything’s interact better. 😒

### 1/5 — Ella Lawton and your App

*2023-01-22, version 4.9*

I don’t think you have any other plans for this app But I will be able to get the rest of the app on Monday

### 1/5 — I want Daniel back😭🥺

*2021-06-24, version 4.5*

I want it because my mom keeps saying no!😭😞🥺

### 1/5 — Boring..It doesn't interact with the kid

*2020-09-08, version 4.4.6*

The characters don't do anything, no talk, no interaction between them or the child, you only move them around on the screen and click on things that make sounds. Not worth any money. We love the Daniel the Tiger show, but this app is a disappointment. I'm happy I didn't buy the combo!

### 1/5 — Family sharing doesn’t work

*2020-04-07, version 4.4.6*

Extremely disappointed that I purchased this app and when I tried to put the app on my kids tablet I had to purchase the collection AGAIN.

Beware families you’ll have to purchase this collection for EACH DEVICE!!

Hello developers, can you PLEASE add more locations, please? And I like the game but just PLEASE add more stuff. Thanks 4 reading, “goodnight everybody” -love, Gumbestie the Chibi Kitten Slayer

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2025-04-03, version 5.4*

My toddlers have been playing this for over a year and they keep coming back to it. The app is thoughtfully built, rich with things to interact with, calm environmental sounds and music. Engrossing but not addicting. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — SO GODMAZING I WANT TO PURR

*2024-12-23, version 5.3*

I DONT KNOW CHRISSY I USED TO HAVE THIS APP AND 5 STAR

### 5/5 — Pretty fun, but…

*2024-12-20, version 5.3*

This app is pretty fine but it needs a post office, a dentist office, and that objects need to be able to travel through doors and please make it so you can take groceries to the house besides that this app is really fun😉 add the restaurant too at least just at the houses and Chrissy

### 5/5 — Can you make just one update?

*2024-05-27, version 5.3*

I really want the houses of Daniel Tigers friends and Daniel himself. I felt very lonely because I wanted them to play together at the house I am a fan of the characters need a fact to make a new character like a character. I just made up a black cat that loves ice-skating and ballet also Catrina Sister ❤️🌹👸 cat skater well her name is Lily. I can name her dad so please can you make this update come true

### 5/5 — Love it! Only thing: No Chrissy.

*2024-04-18, version 5.3*

I love this app! I was scrolling through the App Store for Daniel Tiger games for my 2 (almost 3) year old son, and I came across this. Even though it was $3, I decided to try it, and I have been loving it ever since. My son is in love with this, since he’s a big Daniel Tiger fan and has a great imagination. I would definitely recommend! However, my son is also addicted to the character, “Chrissy” in Daniel Tiger and loves pretending to be her. I think the fact that Chrissy have crutches and braces on her legs is incredible, since it introduces my son to inclusion. We were all disappointed to see that there was no inclusion of Chrissy in this app. I think it would be a great addition to this app. 5 out of 5 stars, overall!

### 5/5 — Please add more stuff

*2024-04-13*

Items need to travel through doors. There has to be some emotions button that you can tap so you can see all the emotions from the show! Please add Daniel’s house! Please put all of this stuff into an update which can start tomorrow morning! I love Daniel so much! 🐯🐱🦉👦🏾👧🏾!
