My (or my 6 yr old daughter's) favorite is still the ice cream game where she has to discern a pattern and apply it to the new problem. Very creative way to get kids engaged. Also like the email summaries. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2015-08-31* My son has a real problem focusing and remembering things but this app has really helped with that. He focuses so much more not just on the app but even away from it. He actually sits and plays with his toys in his room instead of throwing them everywhere and then running up and down the halls like a crazy person. Kikos has helped a lot and he loves it. He wakes up every morning and wants to play it. The games are helpful and fun and he can't wait to see what he gets in his fish tank as a reward. I also like the feature that let's you choose what you'd like to concentrate on-obviously I chose focus and memory, but there are others so that you can customize it to your child. ### 5/5 — Cannot wait to see more games *2015-08-16, version 2.0.021* Kids love it! ### 5/5 — My little brother loves it *2015-08-14, version 2.0.021* It's a good idea to train the brain to stay sharp. I use Lumosity everyday and I got this for my little brother. ### 5/5 — Scientific app *2015-08-14, version 2.0.021* We need more apps like this one. Scientific and engaging. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-08-14* I LOVE the concept! Have not seen anything like this on the market. Helps my kid with attention memory and other things. ### 5/5 — Crashes constantly *2015-08-07* Great app but crashes constantly ### 5/5 — Lots of potential...keeps kids playing *2015-05-03* My grand kids have been playing this game for a few weeks now. Nothing keeps their attention for long so glad they keep coming back to this game. I didn't know much about executive function but after reading a bit about it, i am happy to see someone is trying to help build kids build executive function. I would make a few suggestions: 1) the start is a little confusing. While it is nice to see what the science is, It is very confusing. Would have been nice to just get to the game 2) are there other things parents whorls do to build skills outside the app? 3) would be great to pick the activities rather than being forced to follow the path. Some activities are more fun than others We like it enough so please take this as feedback for improvement. ### 5/5 — Complete fan *2015-04-27* I am so impressed with this fabulous app! My 3 children use it daily. Not only is it fun for little ones, but older as well. My kids are 4, 7, and 9. They love it! I had one glitch with getting my app started. I emailed the company and they got back to me within 24hrs. Super nice, totally accommodating and helpful. I am a happy customer. ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2015-03-09* My 5 yr old loves this app and I love what it's doing for her. Executive functions, reasoning, memory games, matrices- they've got it all. Can't wait for more! ### 5/5 — Very engaging *2015-03-04, version 2.0.013* My 3 year old likes it. This has some cool ways to have them learn to focus. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-23, version 2.0.033* Instantly crashes on startup so cannot review. iPad os 17.5 ### 1/5 — Great app except no way to cancel!! *2019-10-27, version 2.0.033* My kids loved this app but have outgrown it and there seems to be no way to cancel my subscription. Have even emailed Kiko direct and no response! Not impressed!!!!! ### 1/5 — Crazy subscription service for games a child could program *2019-03-28* Subscription fee for this level of app is ridiculous. Someone slaps ‘Harvard’ in the description in the hopes that people will be willing to shell out big bucks. Better solutions out there for way less money. ### 1/5 — Keep asking for review; get a bad one *2018-09-04* It asked me for a review before I'd ever played the game. There for you get a 1 ### 1/5 — Greedy... *2015-01-29, version 2.0.008* So expensive a yr subscription... ### 3/5 — Better if.... *2019-11-04* My daughter loves this app. However I can’t get the family share to work and I want her to be able to use it in her iPad so she isn’t always on my phone. I try to login however it doesn’t let me. I try to reset the password and I never get the email to do it. Very frustrating. I’ll be happy to update my review when I can get gel on this issue. I did email support so hoping to get a response soon. Other than this issue it is a great app and does keep my ADHD child engaged and helps her focus. 😊 ### 3/5 — Intriguing app *2015-12-16, version 2.0.022* I stumbled across this app when looking for resources to support my four year old son's executive function development. I was intrigued by the apparent science behind the games and we tried it out. He enjoyed most of the games and quickly improved on some of them, clearly benefitting from the 'brain training'. Some games were a little too challenging though, and he became frustrated and disheartened at having to try and solve them repeatedly. There is also not a lot of information for parents within the game, so I was unable to help him with certain games which were not intuitive to me. ### 4/5 — My kids love it *2022-08-11* Difficult to set up, couldn’t bring over info from previous account, but they still love it. ### 4/5 — My daughter really likes it! *2015-07-24* I'm glad that my 3 yr old daughter enjoys this game but half the time when she gets to the end she doesn't get her prize because the game glitches & shuts off. I'm leery to purchase the game because of the glitches but because she enjoys it & I can see her progressing, I am considering it. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-03-23* Young kids have fun with this game also educating ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My kid loves the fish 🐠 *2024-03-11* It’s a really great learning experience and it develops the mind & skills. The only reason my daughter plays this game is the fish prize you put in the aquarium after completing the daily challenge. Parents can track how good the child is doing and how their getting better at things. This is a wonderful experience for my child and I hope it’s a good experience for yours as well. ### 5/5 — Mila *2022-03-19* Mila ### 5/5 — Does not work *2020-02-11* Downloaded app, clicked on it, didn’t work! Deleted app, reinstalled, clicked on it, didn’t work!! My daughter is sad! She uses this app at school, loves it! ### 5/5 — Good Afternoon *2018-08-10* Thank you ### 5/5 — Can't get him off it! *2016-11-30* My five year old loves this games, the rewards and the stars and giving you more than one chance if you get it wrong is so age appropriate. I love it because it is giving him skills that will help him reason and hopefully help with socials skills. Early days in the program. The graphics are cute too. ### 5/5 — Super fun, for any age!! *2016-09-17, version 2.0.026* I love this app. So much quality! I use it as a warm-up for my other more adult puzzle / thinking games. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2016-08-03, version 2.0.026* My daughter really likes the sushi game. This is her favorite learning app. She keeps asking for 'Kiko' ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-05-05, version 2.0.008* Awesome ### 5/5 — Kiko Toca *2016-04-02, version 2.0.025* My 3 year old loves Toca Boca apps and she asks for Kiko now. Good app. Would love to see how it develops her. The science looks interesting though I am no expert. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
