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. ### 2/5 — Love it but not lately *2025-09-07, version 3.57.45* It’s a great little app for kiddos but lately it just not opening on iPhones right now. I wondering if anyone else has been having this problem. I’ve been paying for it for months now. Now it won’t get pass the opening part of the app. ### 1/5 — Not loading 1 star bad bad bad *2025-08-24, version 3.57.45* 1 star ### 2/5 — Cute but don’t like that. It only has three books. *2025-08-19, version 3.57.45* This app is fine but the games that it has are basically the same games as play kids. It’s basically a rip off of play kids. Even though play kids is basically a similar company or a company that works with them. Please add more books. There’s barely anything. There’s only three books. No that’s not an exaggeration. I actually looked. And for $7.99 a month you should be getting more than just three books and maybe four different shows. That or it’s the same shows you would get on play kids. Wanted to try this because PlayKids has been very glitchy but don’t think I’m gonna keep my subscription because of the fact that it only has three books and it’s a pain to navigate and I end up needing a lot of assistance. Not very disability from them. Don’t like to complain, but I feel like this needs some attention and somebody needs to say something. If you want an app that only has three books in your kids are not a fan of books and they want to play games that are above them then this is the app for you. If you like watching a variety of kids cartoons or kids videos from cartoons or other stuff like that, and this is the app for you. If you want something that’s similar to this but it’s actually for a wider age group then I recommend play kids or lingo kids. Or curious world. Although actually forget the last one. Don’t recommend this app. You’re paying 799 for basically nothing. ### 1/5 — Hi I can’t go into the game *2025-08-11, version 3.57.45* Hi I can’t open the game properly like it doesn’t load. I used to have this game when I was little now I’m trying to download for my little sister so yeah pls fix your app I used to love it ### 1/5 — Great app, zero support and unable to login *2025-08-01, version 3.57.45* I was so surprised with how amazing this app was for both my 2 and 4 year olds. But after using it a week and then paying for the subscription, it just wouldn’t load. I signed in to another device and then couldn’t sign in to another and it faults each time I try to reset. The help page is 404 and I’ve emailed the support and got a bounce back. How can this app still be available?? Such a shame, I’ll be cancelling my subscription and deleting them off my devices. ### 1/5 — Good art but no *2025-07-25, version 3.57.45* It has pretty art but no more ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-07-20, version 3.57.45* We got this to watch Numberblocks. It did not work at all, either on Apple TV or on iPad. On Apple TV just crashes and on the iPad it gets stuck on the loading screen. Tried emailing support and my email got returned because apparently their support email doesn’t exist?! ### 1/5 — App no longer supported! *2025-07-06, version 3.57.45* The app has stopped working and the developer sight is no longer available to report the problem. I will be asking for a refund of my subscription. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load no help *2025-06-30, version 3.57.45* The app doesn’t work, their webpage has no way to contact them and they don’t answer their messages on Instagram. The report a problem leads to a forbidden code, do not subscribe! I can’t even request a refund. ### 1/5 — Horrible / Broken UI *2025-06-14, version 3.57.45* Title says it all.. almost unusable.. I can’t even fast forward through videos. What? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-06-12, version 3.57.45* Used to work now as of June everything is blank says something is wrong in app 0 help from Hopster this happens on Apple TV iPad iPhone don’t waste your money if u are in USA ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-05-31, version 3.57.45* It dosent have enough episodes on the fixies and THE NUMBERBLOCKS EPISODES WERE MESSY ### 3/5 — I’ll tell u 😡 *2025-05-19, version 3.57.45* MY SISTER WATCHES THE SHOWS ON UR APP AND CANT U LIKE EVERY TIME U FINSHED WATCHING ONE VIDEO U UNLOCK ANOTHER VIDEO I AM SO FRUSTRATED OF THE APP (sorry if I was too mean) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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?? ### 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, version 3.57.50* 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, version 3.57.47* 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — App NOT WORKING As of September 21nd, 2025 *2025-09-22, version 3.57.45* This app is not working anymore. I emailed them and there email address does not exist. Is there a way to get a refund? ### 1/5 — Not loading *2025-09-07, version 3.57.45* My kid loves this app… when it loads. On 2 different devices the loading screen just circles and never starts ### 1/5 — Total con *2025-09-03, version 3.57.45* Done the 7 day free trial, and all seemed great. I’ve now paid for subscription and now won’t load or anything! Total scam and waste of money……AVOID!!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — THIS ONLY HAZ FV STRS BCUZ I WANT PPL TOO SEE IT *2026-06-21, version 3.58.0* 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!
