But the sound doesn’t work, and neither does the play button at the bottom of each photo. ### 2/5 — Sounds do not work *2022-01-27, version 3.0* Everything is fine except there is no sound like it should have. ### 1/5 — App unable to launch *2021-09-18, version 3.0* The app is unable to launch and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it multiple times. When I select app support through the app store, the webpage gives me the error message of “account suspended”. Not sure what else to do except write this review and ask the developer to update/fix the app. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-09-17, version 3.0* Can’t even open the app. I’ve deleted and reinstalled, turned off my phone etc.. none of the apps from this developer will even open ### 1/5 — App crashes *2021-09-17, version 3.0* Non of these apps will run on iOS 14.8 ### 1/5 — No sound… *2021-08-19, version 3.0* This app seems really good for my 18month. I paid for $1.99 to remove adds, but there is no sound. ### 1/5 — NO SOUND!!! *2021-08-06, version 3.0* Why is there no sound??? ### 1/5 — Sound Stopped Working *2021-02-19, version 3.0* The sound stopped working, so the app is essentially useless. My daughter loved it when it worked, so that's disappointing. ### 1/5 — No sound *2021-02-16, version 3.0* Boring, no sound. There’s a play button, that would imply it plays a sound, but it does nothing ### 1/5 — refund me!! *2021-01-05, version 3.0* Charged to remove ads but ads are still across the bottom so lo keeps going into ads and out of the app. refund me!! ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-12-19, version 3.0* I paid thinking the sound would work! I didn’t. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2020-09-05, version 3.0* The ads are placed right where my kid can easily tap and take to another page that has nothing to do with the app. And I have to be there every second to take her back to the app because she’ll accidentally tap on the ad! DELETED!! ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-08-16, version 3.0* Don’t waste your time. There is no sound ### 2/5 — Don’t buy *2020-08-02, version 3.0* Purchased the no adds and all the ads kept popping up. ### 2/5 — NO SOUND *2020-07-06, version 3.0* nice pictures, so I’m going to keep it. however, as many many others have stated: there’s is absolutely no sound despite the claims in the app description that there are animal and vehicle sounds included. this applies to all of the “first” apps by the way: first words, first animals, etc - none of them play sounds ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2025-04-06, version 3.0* The sound on this app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Sound is not working *2024-05-23, version 3.0* I was excited about this but the sound is not working. ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-11-30, version 3.0* Please fix ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-10-21, version 3.0* No sound ### 1/5 — Can’t report issues. *2023-07-27, version 3.0* The app opens you click on a picture in hearing a narration of what it is and simultaneously the app closes immediately with no indication. ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-06-19, version 3.0* This would be a wonderful app, but unfortunately the sound doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Ads on game not appropriate for children *2023-04-27, version 3.0* There are colorful ads on the bottom of the page that look child friendly but when tapped lead to more sinister looking ads such as huggy wuggy (google if you don’t know). Ads in a childrens app should not be so easily tappable, and app creators should pay attention to what is being advertised as well ### 1/5 — No sound! Want a refund! *2023-04-24, version 3.0* Sound doesn’t work after paying for it what a waste of money would like a refund or FIX the app!!!! ### 1/5 — Sound doesn't work *2023-03-22, version 3.0* It looks nice but what's the point without any sounds?? ### 1/5 — No sound *2022-04-24, version 3.0* This apps sound doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! Sounds work if the silent mood is off *2021-06-21, version 3.0* The sounds only work when the iPad is not silent ### 5/5 — This App is GRRREAT!!! *2017-07-22, version 3.0* Our son absolutely loves ### 5/5 — Nice app *2017-02-22, version 3.0* Liked the simple and easy to use design! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-01-12, version 3.0* Wonderful ### 5/5 — Great *2016-12-19, version 2.0* Perfect... user friendly... ### 4/5 — Sound finally fixed !! *2021-06-27, version 3.0* Sound of FINALLY FIXED! Thanks! Now I wish when you hit the end of one section, it would auto go back to the Home Screen with a swipe. Having them click the small home button is a bit tough. My niece gets frustrated when she thinks the”book” is stuck on the last slide hahaha. ### 4/5 — Very cool *2017-05-11, version 3.0* Very cool app. Love all the sounds!!! ### 3/5 — Sound not working *2021-02-13, version 3.0* Please fix sound.
