It is really cool because I’m a kid and I think it is so fun and but could you put some songs from like Disney princesses that aren’t scary and like take away the villains and that stuff yeah but every time I hit play it glitches and it pauses a lot ### 3/5 — Does not switch tracks *2026-08-04, version 2.1.15* Amazing app I love that you can even listen when you’re not in the app but here’s the thing when a song finishes playing another song doesn’t come on then only works for the live channel and I don’t really like the live channels cause I just get in with no context other song. Can you please fix this issue? Edit: 3 STARS At this point can this app get any worse!? Every time since because of my original review, this is a continuation because I sometimes do a trick where I swipe to another track and swipe directly back to the track to change tracks, but it just keeps playing that track. I know a little glimpse of it is normal when it starts playing the entire song like it’s so annoying and right now this is take five of me having to download it and then re-download it. Like come on to fix the bugs?!?! Edit: One more thing I forgot to mention after track finishes, and you click the button it starts flashing to the orange state and the blue state. I forgot what those are called but you know what it doesn’t matter. And that can actually be really dangerous for kids with photos, sensitive, visual disorder. It may make their head spin and the only way to fix it is to close out the app and then re-enter. So yeah I still love the app, but it’s really buggy for some reason. DEVELOPERS, PLEASE READ MY REVIEW AND TRY TO FIX THE BUGS TO MAKE IT MORE ENJOYABLE FOR THE RANGE EITHER THEY HAVE A PHOTO SENSITIVE, VISUAL DISORDER OR WHATEVER. ### 4/5 — It’s amazing *2026-06-21, version 2.1.14* i love this app it’s free music no ads but the country radio is what gets me fired up like i hate ella langley music like there is more of the new stuff then like George Straight and Luke combs like please play the good songs like this artist! ### 2/5 — Does not work anymore *2026-06-12, version 2.1.14* It’s actually sad that I downloaded this app like long ago but I only use the like for a party but it was so good before and now it’s just lost app for me. Like it’s waiting for me to open it again but I just don’t. ### 2/5 — I can’t listen to the music *2026-06-11, version 2.1.14* Every time I try to listen to music it doesn’t let me listen to the music I want to listen to and I wait for a long time and it still doesn’t let me listen to the music ### 4/5 — Good *2026-05-28, version 2.1.14* I use this to listen to story’s for bed and it is wonderful. But sometimes I have to reload the app because it doesn’t load😕 ### 3/5 — Yay *2026-05-17, version 2.1.14* I love this but can you start playing more cameron whitcomb, kingdoms of fear, and can you fix all the playlists so I can listen to them ### 2/5 — sad *2026-05-10, version 2.1.14* never works at all anymore! can never it it to play! sad because i LOVED this app! ### 4/5 — My review *2026-03-16, version 2.1.14* I love this but my only complaint is we can only access live music ### 3/5 — I can’t listen to any music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:{ *2026-02-22, version 2.1.14* Every time now I get on the app lt shows the pause button and I wait for a little while and it still is not playing any music so I try pressing the pause button but it just will not let me listen to any music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:{ ### 3/5 — Ok but music doesn’t work!!! *2026-02-13, version 2.1.14* The app is really good but every time I press the button to make the music go on it never works and I’ve tried restarting it. I’ve tried everything and it doesn’t work. So that’s a little bit disappointing. But music is awesome for kids friendliness ### 2/5 — SONGS WONT PLAY *2026-02-01, version 2.1.14* I Can’t listen to any of the songs even if I reset it, it won’t play pls fix this bug so I can keep listening to your music ### 4/5 — Ok *2025-12-30, version 2.1.13* They have really good music on there but there’s a lot of bugs so it doesn’t really work ### 3/5 — Dislikes *2025-12-02, version 2.1.13* Hello, so I really like this app I just have a few dislikes. MY MAIN DISLIKE I wish that y’all didn’t remove the acoustic playlist I feel like it had some really good songs on there, I loved it so much that was my go to. Next, I wish that we could add the name of the songs played and the artist. I also wish that some of the songs could have lyrics for a karaoke type thing. Besides those minor issues, the app is pretty decent and fun to use when you don’t have a specific song in mind. Thank you! Bye, have a blessed day! ### 2/5 — Keeps stopping in the middle of the song *2025-12-01, version 2.1.13* Keeps stopping in the middle of the song.also acting like I closed the app.started a few weeks ago ### 4/5 — I heart radio family *2025-11-23, version 2.1.13* Because when I was trying to watch the show only had a words, should I read it of four ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False parental controls *2026-05-27, version 2.1.14* It says you can disable anything you want… so when I disable everything, why are stations like “K-pop demon hunter” and “Disney pride” still there? I can go through and hide each individually, but still. Most of the songs are also just normal pop songs that I don’t really want my kid listening to, about love and adult relationships and breakups and such. What’s the point of a kids music app if only some of it is tailored for children? Maybe you should ask for an age range (5 and under, 6-12, and 13+ for instance) and tailor it to each group appropriately. ### 1/5 — Add K-pop demon hunter radio, and make it to not require any Internet *2026-04-04, version 2.1.14* I hate this game because of course for too many Quiring Internet and it won’t play the music I want so make it not require Internet and make it have a search button and make sure to add K-pop please pretty pretty please ### 1/5 — Disney Pride?? *2026-03-23, version 2.1.14* Evil ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even let me put on a song that I know *2026-03-17, version 2.1.14* So I was like like I was bored and I wanted to like find some music so I was going. I was scrolling through stuff and then I found this on my memory and I said wow this brings back a lot of memories so I got it and then when I try to put on a song, it puts on a different song. I don’t even know none of the songs I was trying to put a Bluey song and it just put on like rock music this is unacceptable. You guys need to fix that. ### 1/5 — I’m back for more complaining *2026-02-04, version 2.1.14* I can’t play songs. ### 1/5 — Never again *2025-12-13, version 2.1.13* I wouldn’t recommend this app it glitches way to much I hate it when ever I’m out of the app it stops the song I can never go back to it to many bad words this sucks I wouldn’t recommend never download it again honestly this used to be a good app what happened? ### 1/5 — Meh🥱👎🏼 *2025-11-02, version 2.1.13* I mean it’s okay but you can not look up any sort of song,you can only listen to a playlist that was created ### 1/5 — Does this app work *2025-09-20, version 2.1.4* Nothing will play like what is going on ### 1/5 — WORST *2025-09-19, version 2.1.4* THIS APP DOESNT WORK FOR ME ANYMORE!!!!
