### 3/5 — Great but

*2020-08-26, version 2.2.5*

Can’t get to next scene of 
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2016-10-24, version 2.1*

Have *LOVED* this app for years but it recently updated and now it won't open at all. Very disappointed!

### 3/5 — Too short

*2013-05-05, version 1.1.1*

We need more!

### 5/5 — Great learning app

*2013-04-19, version 1.1.1*

Superb animation, sound and full of surprises! Super app for our toddler girls.

### 5/5 — Granddaughters love this app

*2013-04-14, version 1.1*

This app is a favorite of my granddaughters!   They can be interactive with this at  a very young age, 10 month to 4 years. Really love it.

### 5/5 — DDM Itsy Bitsy Spider

*2013-04-08, version 1.1*

Great! This app gets us through hairdresser appointments, long car journeys; anytime we have to wait anywhere.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!!

*2013-03-01, version 1.1*

My daughter is 16 months old and loves this! We have the wheels on the bus and old McDonald too. This is her favorite! She loves to collect all the eggs and drop them in the spider web. Yes the app is only a few pages but there is a lot you can do!!! Definitely worth the 1.99!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-02-08, version 1.1*

My kids love it

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2013-02-06, version 1.1*

I couldn't imagine why this app would be 2$ if it was just the itsy Bitsy spider song. It is a lot more! My son (2) is going to really enjoy this and he can learn a lot for years to come! It even has an interactive counting part and a part where you can put hats on the spider. He loves apps that are super-interactive like this. The developers really understand what kids like and need in an app.

### 5/5 — The Crooplets Love It!

*2013-02-02, version 1.1*

My daughter's year old triplets LOVE this app!

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2013-01-05, version 1.1*

My 21 month old loves this app, as well as several more of the Duck Duck Moose apps. The only thing that could make this better is if there were more than two screens to play with!

### 4/5 — Snk

*2012-12-13, version 1.1*

My two girls love this app so much for them to do while listening to one of there favourite nursery rhymes

### 5/5 — More more more!

*2012-11-16, version 1.1*

Absolutely worth the price. My 13 months old daughter loves it!! We have all your apps! 
please make more! at least the black sheep for iPad!!!

### 3/5 — Only ok

*2012-11-14, version 1.1*

It would be OK as a free app, but for a paid app I was expecting a book, not 1 1/2 screens. Just not much too it.

### 1/5 — It’s dumb

*2020-02-21, version 2.2.2*

ITS DUMB I CANT PLAY ANYTHING BECAUSE MY SISTER PLAYS THIS DUMB APP!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Was awesome, now doesn’t work

*2019-09-29, version 2.2.1*

Since update to IOS 13 wont go past opening screen. Hope they can fix as boy loves this.

### 1/5 — Creepy deep voiced man singing

*2014-06-02, version 2.0.3*

The singing ruins what would otherwise be an average app.  It has only 1 song and it is sung by a very deep voiced male and it just sounds wrong.  It is intended for a 12 month old.  The app would be entertaining to a 1 year old child but it has no educational value that is apparent.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2014-03-28, version 2.0.3*

Bought for grandson 18 month and expected more from a paid app. Only a dozen or so actions on two screens, think even he would get bored after a few plays. Must try harder.

### 1/5 — Often needs to be restarted

*2013-05-02, version 1.1.1*

Program often doesnt work and needs to be restarted before i can turn the pages.

### 1/5 — disappointed

*2013-02-12, version 1.1*

THis ap is only 2 pages and NOTHING like wheels on the bus and old mc donald VERY VERY disapointed in paying 2.00 for this app for 2 pages! its very confusing to for my daughter would be a better app for free!

### 1/5 — Read before you purchase

*2012-11-13, version 1.1*

I don't understand why this app gets such rave reviews. My 16 month old son gets bored with it in 2 minutes, it only has two screens, the singing is weird, and there isn't that much going on. Their other apps are much more interesting and engaging. Don't waste your money like i did.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2012-11-05, version 1.1*

Done everything to try to get sound to work. 
Children still like to play it but would of preferred to have sound :(

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2012-05-21, version 1.0.4*

I bought this app because my son likes the Wheels on the Bus app by the same people but this one is no way near as good. No logic to it, there's no back button and fewer settings.

### 1/5 — Don't like it

*2012-03-24, version 1.0.4*

I agree with everyone else. It is boring and repeats the creepy song over and over. What u see is what u get. Its not worth paying for.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-05-02, version 2.2.5*

This is a goo learning app children love  . My  18 month old uses it while we are shopping . It keeps her content while I get my groceries 😊. She loves the squirrel getting the peanuts . She is counting along with him . The Chile leans cause and effect as they touch different parts of the screen . Thx ☺️

### 5/5 — Like a kids app should be

*2014-06-11, version 2.0.3*

No in app purchases. Nag screens can be disabled in iOS 7 settings. Duck Duck Moose understands these things are ESSENTIAL in a child app.  Same for developers Toca Boca and Sago Sago.  I refuse to purchase any children's apps from unscrupulous greedy and/or incompetent "children's" app developers who do not stick to these principles.  

My 17 month old loves this app.  She  is Familiar with the song. She is very adept at iPad in General. 

Well done.  Will be checking out the rest of Duck Duck Moose collection.

### 5/5 — Brilliant game

*2013-12-21, version 2.0.3*

Very interactive game on many levels, very much enjoyed by my 3 and 4.5 year old kids. Music is very good and lots to discover. Recommended highly

### 5/5 — Two thumbs up

*2013-11-18, version 2.0.3*

My 2 year old loves this app. It's been her favorite since I bought it. The noises get a little annoying after awhile, but what kids toy doesn't?

### 5/5 — My baby loves this app

*2013-06-16, version 1.1.1*

I am a teacher and I love finding educational games for my baby. This has to be one of my faves!

### 5/5 — A winner!

*2013-06-01, version 1.1.1*

My 19 month old loves it!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-05-30, version 1.1.1*

My daughter is disabled and plays this app in occupational therapy and at home,she loves it!

### 5/5 — Jolly & engaging

*2013-05-26, version 1.1.1*

Keeps the attention of our little one. :o)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-05-03, version 1.1.1*

### 5/5 — A Must Have App

*2013-04-20, version 1.1.1*

This is a lovely version of an old favourite. Beautiful graphics and lots of activity. My grandchildren want it over and over.

I would love to see more nursery rhymes presented like this one.
