### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-19, version 3.58.0*

I used to play this all the time I wish I could rate it 100 stars

### 1/5 — Most of the games are gone

*2026-06-25, version 3.58.0*

I check on the app for nostalgia purposes, excited to play the numbrrrs game and the alphabet hotel game, but they're both GONE. And replaced by other games. What happened??

### 5/5 — THIS ONLY HAZ FV STRS BCUZ I WANT PPL TOO SEE IT

*2026-06-21*

the person who said LGBT… must have not waited to long to figure it out!there are children playing this awful app and rating it 5 strs it is disgusting and very offensive to LGBTQ ppl Something Has To Change. I don’t like the devs of this game, but killing them is way to far but wayt 
there’s 
More sorry for the selling Eros and so I hate this app and its so stupid because we all know it’s not going to do 
Anything good and you are acting 🎭 like 13 yr old idiots who just got run 🏃 over by a school bus 🚌 and got there lunch 🥙 money 💵 stolen!  I cant believe you ppl

### 1/5 — IT IS SO BORING

*2026-06-11, version 3.57.50*

It won’t let me play a bunch of the games and even the games are BORING so I’m writing this review just to tell you to not buy this game

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2026-05-02*

Please, find a way to let the Apple TV app pause episodes, and stop playback without crashing. Great content but maybe the least reliable video content player I have used in the last 5 years.

### 1/5 — Make it back

*2026-03-01, version 3.57.47*

Please put the old games back and make the kitchen with those vegetable people and the fridge in a kitchen

### 1/5 — App stops loading after initial use

*2026-02-17*

Worked fine 5 times or so, launching from Apple TV on my iPhone. Now the app won’t open past the loading screen. Reinstalling does nothing. Glad I didn’t pay for anything.

### 2/5 — Broken

*2025-12-22*

Subscribed, it worked for about a week and now all the shows are gone, even if I’m logged in and my internet is fine. Does not fix when tablet is restarted. Not paying for a broken app. 
You also used to be able to filter out content you didn’t want. You can’t anymore.

### 1/5 — worst kids app I’ve seen

*2025-10-26, version 3.57.45*

This is such a predatory piece of garbage. Charges you but won’t even let you pause or rewind or watch episodes in the right order. Go watch the shows on YouTube instead

### 1/5 — Woke

*2025-10-17, version 3.57.45*

It would be a cute game if not for the section showing a cartoon illustration of a BLM activist child. Can’t our kids enjoy anything without these woke companies pushing politics and their woke ideologies in their faces constantly? Leave the kids out of politics!
