Fix ASAP ### 1/5 — Doesnt connect *2018-05-08, version 1.0.5* My software is up to date, and I tried re-downloading the app 3 xs and it would NEVERE connect. The kichenette is adorable. This app is not so good.. Let me know when yall get it worked out ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-01-07* My Samsung Galaxy Note 8 won’t connect so I had to use my older iPhone 6 Plus. It only worked for a few minutes before it lost connection. While it was connected I was incredibly disappointed in the app. I expected there to be sound that gave instructions to help my daughter learn associations with items... but all it did was give a checklist of what to do in writing on the screen. Step 1 put the pan on the stove Step 2 put it in the pan (it didn’t say eggs even though we were making eggs... it just said “it” Step 3 turn the stove on When we completed all 3 steps there was no celebration to reward her... just a sticker board to drag a sticker on, but it disappeared before she could use it because it lost connection. Also, the kitchen itself is poorly designed. The plates and other accessories won’t stay on the shelves. They are constantly falling down. And the screw holes for the tablet holder don’t line up properly. I wish we would have bought one of the nicer looking wood kitchens instead of this all plastic piece of garbage. The concept is great... but the execution is a joke. **Developer response:** Hi there and apologies for the delayed response.

Thank you! ### 3/5 — Tech doesn’t work properly.. *2017-12-30, version 1.0.5* Agree with above post. Bluetooth has trouble connecting every time. Sometimes not at all. Disappointing considering the price we paid... ### 1/5 — Doesn't even Deserve 1 star *2017-11-23* The app worked on 1 iPad mini, and now that that is on it's way it's way out, I have tried several other iPads and it will not connect via Bluetooth. Their troubleshooting section is like something out of The IT Crowd, and nothing seems to make it connect. Little Tykes needs to fix this mess! **Developer response:** Hi there and apologies for the delayed response. Could you please contact us directly at onlinedev@mgae.com so that we may better help troubleshoot and resolve this issue? Thank you! ### 2/5 — Fun toy and app for kids, but stopped working *2017-11-18, version 1.0.5* My son really enjoys playing with his kitchen and interacting with this app. However after 9months the sound has stopped working. Have tried reinstalling with no luck. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this kitchen *2025-11-29, version 1.0.5* The app does not work. I’ve tried two different phones and tablets, and it literally won’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-06-28* This app worked maybe 5 times and that was after several attempts to “connect to kitchen”. Now it will not connect at all. Software seems to not be supported any longer, which makes the kitchen that was only purchase 1 years ago, just an overpriced kitchen. First time disappointed in Little Tikes ### 1/5 — Horrible. No sound. *2021-11-26, version 1.0.5* I would give zero stars if possible. ### 1/5 — Complete garbage *2020-10-04, version 1.0.5* This app is completely garbage, I spent over $100 on this toy and it is so disappointing. I was so excited for my kids to use it but this app ruined it. This has made me loose faith in little tikes products. How sad! ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work. *2020-09-12, version 1.0.5* I cannot get this app to connect to blue tooth. I’ve tried every recommendation online. It does not connect to my device. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-05-22, version 1.0.5* Downloaded the app on two different devices. The animation works, but there’s no sound on either one. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-04-24, version 1.0.5* I’ve downloaded the app several times to no avail and the sound is all the way up on the iPad ### 1/5 — Be ashamed. *2020-03-22* You market these toys with what sounds to be a great idea. A kitchen set with Bluetooth to enhance the kids experience. However, your execution is AWFUL. The app doesn’t work, crashes, and is not responsive. Come up with all the excuses you want, this is a terrible job by what appears to be a terrible company. ### 1/5 — DO NOY BUY - App sound doesn't work *2020-01-01, version 1.0.5* Cannot get the app volume to work on any devices I have. Kitchen is cool but as an interactive toy, it's terrible. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2019-12-01* We downloaded the app. After buying the kitchen and found out that it does not recognized anything from the Smart Check Out. The Smart Check Out recognized everything from the kitchen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great! *2019-05-31, version 1.0.5* It works great I love it I wish it was downloadable on an older android like 4.3 ### 5/5 — Great fun *2018-12-28, version 1.0.5* Working very well. Great fun for everyone 😉 ### 5/5 — It works.. *2018-06-27* Mine was disconnecting after a seconds too until I put in fresh batteries. Bluetooth drains a lot of power... ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-08-01* My 4yo daughter loves this Kitchen. Note that we couldnt get it to connect to an iPad 2 but it was able to connect to our iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPhone 6. ### 5/5 — Turn Sound On *2016-12-30* I have an iPad and when I downloaded the app there was no sound. Slide up from the bottom of your iPad to bring up a quick settings screen. Click on the bell with the line through it to turn mute off! The sound will work. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for this helpful hint! ### 5/5 — My kids love it!! *2016-09-28* We've only had the kitchen for a day but already I can see my kids wanting ALL of their toys to have apps. So much fun! Not sure what I'm going to do--I want my iPad back! ### 4/5 — My son loves it *2018-01-06* I bought the Cook & Learn kitchen for my 3 year old boy & he absolutely loves this app. He refuses to play with the kitchen without it. I’m also pleasantly surprised that it’s teaching him new words & about cleaning up. The only request I have is to have a setting that turns the milieux off by default. The music is really annoying. For that reason, I’m giving it 4 stars. ### 4/5 — Great interactive play *2016-12-28* This app is great! For those that are having a "no sound" issue make sure your device is not on silent. ### 3/5 — It’s okay, it has a lot of potential. *2018-12-30* It connected to my iPhone XR one time and after that one time, my phone and other devices will not connect to the kitchen. Another thing is that when following the directions to a recipe, it often didn’t catch us doing the step and have us stuck on one thing. **Developer response:** Hi there, could you please contact us directly at onlinedev@mgae.com so that we may better help troubleshoot and resolve this issue? Thank you! ### 3/5 — Needs New Recipes! *2018-03-18, version 1.0.5* I love this app for my 2 sons and have had no troubles connecting since we started using our new iPad. However, it has been the same for 2 years and they are tired of the same recipe options...some updates or options to purchase new recipes and activities would be great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
