Cute, simple app

My 16 month old son really likes this app. It's simple and very easy to use. I like that it has different sound settings that only I can change (it's saved under the iPhone's Settings app) but I do wish that it would update the setting while running the app and not force me to quit then restart.

To those who want a lock feature for this app... Apple will not allow developers to change the functions of any of the iPhone's main buttons, so developers cannot "lock" an app. So I usually hold it while my son plays. Besides, I spent a lot of money on this thing, I'm not going to let him break my iPhone!

Great app, needs a lock

I agree with previous review. This would be perfect if I could passcode lock the sceen so my little one couldn't leave the app wirhout my knowing. Great sounds and mine love the rattle and animal sounds. Thanks, this is the first and only app I have paid for.

Great!

My one year old loves playing with this app! It's simple and fun. Does exactly as promised. Perfect! Thank you!

Love the idea, but...

...there needs to be a way to lock the iPhone home button at the bottom. I have a 19 month old who loves playing with my phone, dispite how many toys ones I find. He figured right away how to get to the apps. Also add lights and graphics, not just sounds.

Cute for what it does

All babies seem to end up with a zillion various "noisemakers in the shape of a phone". This app provides that. I think a huge opportunity is missed, though, by not making it a little more accessible to older kids. Why not put in some recorded voices and attach them to real number sequences? I'd love to tell my daughter that cinderella's phone number is 123 or something like that. There's easily enough resources in an iPhone to attach multiple random sounds / voices to every combination of buttons to provide endless entertainment for older kids as well, not just buttonmashing babies. I bought in the hopes that the programmer is planning some additions such as these.
