### 1/5 — No updates!

*2025-02-02*

Looks like this app hasn’t been updated in 2 years. My daughter just got this for Christmas this last year so and I am surprised they advertise this app in the boxes when it hasn’t been updated at all. The only thing I am able to use are the shopping lists, which is handy but you can just take the recipe card with you to the store making this app useless.
Love the boxes and recipes!!
Hate the app, no point to downloading it and won’t add to the experience.

### 2/5 — Old information

*2024-01-27*

Got the app for a Daniel Tiger baking kit bought in 2023. The app is so old and does not work with this kit at all. Disappointing for a child that just loves to watch this program. Deleted the app because there is no need for it.

### 1/5 — Horrible App!

*2023-12-27*

We bought the Daniel Tiger baking kit and I thought we could view one video that had all the recipe steps. NOPE! You have to point the camera at each recipe step and then an interactive video pops up but you have to keep the camera centered just right. In addition, there were times I pointed the camera at a step and it would play the video for the wrong step. I don’t know why they couldn’t have pre-recorded videos for each step or one video with all the steps. The interactive video feature for the recipes does not work and is too complicated for even an adult to use.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2023-05-03*

Downloaded this because we lost the recipe for the kit we were gifted and can’t find the instructions anywhere on their website. The “cook along” on the app is only for their most recent monthly subscription box. And half the features, including “bonus recipes” are “coming soon.”

### 1/5 — Rip off. Don't recommend

*2022-12-25*

This app does nothing. Please read the fine print, if you are unsatisfied they give no guarantee or refunds. If you pay for 6 months and they send you a silly yogurt bark and simple pancake recipe, you have just flushed your money. These are the most basic recipes you can google or have probably already made. It was a total waste of a Christmas present and such a letdown and can't change it. These are a joke, a knockoff, a copycat version of other quality kid cooking subscriptions. Would not recommend it!

### 5/5 — We’re hooked

*2022-07-31*

This innovative app keeps my kids entertained and educated! We’re so excited to be part of the Kidstir fam!!!!!
