### 3/5 — Not full screen on iPad

*2025-01-12*

I love these games and I am so happy that I can have them on my iPad however, in your recent updates, you made it the side of the phone screen And have no way to make it full screen for those of us that play on the iPad that’s why you’re not getting full stars fix this problem and I’ll fix the stars

### 3/5 — No sound

*2024-08-18*

So when I downloaded this I was so excited to play it and the music and voices are what I was looking forward to hearing…. Can’t hear anything

### 2/5 — Son

*2022-02-05*

Aucun son venant de l’application. J’aimais jouer à ce jeux étant enfant mais le fais de ne pas avoir de son gâche le jeux.

### 2/5 — Too expensive

*2021-02-27*

You can finish the game in less than 40 minutes. Not worth the cost.

### 3/5 — why so expensive?

*2019-06-21*

i’ve loved this game since i was a little girl but to me the price to play it again seems ridiculous... i guarantee if the price were $1.99 - free, people would enjoy this so much more! don’t make us pay so much to relive a small piece of our childhoods :(

### 3/5 — Nostalgic but pricey

*2019-05-20*

It’s just like the computer game - price seems high as this game can be completed within an hour.

### 4/5 — Love

*2019-01-25*

I love this app and is perfect for me but please please make them cheaper.

### 5/5 — Always a Favorite

*2017-05-28*

I grew up playing this game on the desktop, and was so happy to find it on the App Store. The translation into a touch screen is so perfect for the game, which challenges kids to try everything in order to solve problems. The best feature of the series is that the mechanics of the game changes each time so no kid will ever get bored of playing the same game - it's always a new solution!

### 4/5 — NOSTALGIA!

*2017-03-16, version 1.1.6*

So excited to find this game!  It was my favorite as a kid.  My only complaint would be the price.  I played through the game in a little under 2 hours, and of course I'm not 6-8 years old but as much as a kid will love replaying the game, still doesn't seem worth $5 for something so short.  $3 or less would be more reasonable.

### 5/5 — Yay

*2016-08-28*

This is just like the PC game I played when I was little. To a "t"! Got really excited when I saw this in the App Store. I'm probably not the right demographic for this game but I don't care, it's great

### 1/5 — Hate the update

*2024-08-06*

Why did the layout change? The screen is so so much smaller now. There should be a setting to revert it to how it was before

### 1/5 — App has no sound

*2021-09-01*

You’d think for $5 this App would have sound. But nope. Don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Very sad

*2020-05-19*

I loved playing this game years ago so I re-downloaded it and it crashes every time I press skip

### 1/5 — No sound

No voice sound on the app for the apple ipad. The kids don’t understand the game by reading so much! Not worth the purchase....

### 1/5 — Waste

*2019-02-10*

Why can’t I have any noise what a waste of 5 dollars

### 1/5 — Do not buy

### 5/5 — So happy with game

*2024-10-30*

I wrote a review earlier but im changing it. I thought it wasnt working on my ipad (the sound) but I realized I have to turn on the ringer not only just turning up the volume! It works now! Super nostalgic game! Love it!!!

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-04-14*

Les avis étaient plus ou moins bon donc j’avais peur que le jeu fonctionne mal, mais il fonctionne super bien! Et ça me rappelle des beaux souvenirs :)

### 5/5 — Extremely Fun and Addicting

*2022-07-08*

Every time I visited my grandma during the summer I would spend HOURS playing all of the Freddi Fish games on her computer. But when Windows 7 came out and we were no longer able to play the games except for only the 5th one, we were all very disappointed, including her, for we were all very huge fans of them. So when I finally learned the game was “remastered” and rereleased, I immediately bought them all for my iPad and I was extremely happy. It brought back very happy nostalgic memories of playing the games with my grandma and cousins and sharing hysterical laughs. It’s a game that I very much believe that adults will enjoy every bit as much as kids will. What’s great about the games is that they randomize themselves every time you login so you pretty much “never play the same game twice.” The characters are really cute and extremely funny. The hijinks are hysterical and there’s absolutely zero dirty humor or innuendo! The humor is 100% clean! The puzzles in the game really encourage you to think hard, making it a great learning tool for young kids, encouraging listening skills, problem solving, logic, memory, strategic thinking, and so much more. The puzzles are very easy for adults but are still very fun to do. The games overall take about at least a half hour for an adult to finish, but it’s a great time-killer and extremely fun. I’ve been seeing comments where people have been complaining about not getting any sound, but I’ve had zero problems with any of the 5 games whatsoever. I also love how the games don’t take more than around 300MB of data, which works out well for me considering I have TONS of games on my iPad taking up A LOT of space. Well worth every single cent

### 5/5 — Brought back memories

*2022-05-01*

I remember playing this growing up on my desktop and was thinking about it. I was about to purchase it in disc form but I saw they had an app! I was so excited to finally finish the game. Totally worth $5 to bring back that nostalgia.

### 5/5 — Good Ol’ Reliable

*2021-09-24*

Love this game, gives me the nostalgia while playing even though I am way too old for it. Love and play it anyways 🥰

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-09-24*

Brings back memories, completed the game within 30 minutes cause I know my way around lol. Still worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Sounds works

*2020-10-14*

No issues at all. Sound works fine with out headphones.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-05-25*

This app is very fun and the opposite of a waste of time.
I love how they give you hints and stuff, this was my first app I got that my dad had helped make. I really recommend this app.🤗😄😁

### 5/5 — Yeah!

*2019-10-19*

My brother and I played all of these including spy fox and Pajama Sam when we were kids. Now my kids enjoy them. It’s pretty cool to see these on the phone. Right on!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2018-08-01*

Yay!!!! I used to live this game, the audio was fine for me but some people said it wasn’t working😕, welllllll, I even downloaded some I have never played before and for some reason there still fun!!!!🙃😅🙂
