## What is LUVBUG?

Welcome to the fastest growing emotional learning app, helping kids better understand & regulate their own emotions. This award-winning app, brings kids & parents together to learn about BIG feelings. Designed by learning scientists, LuvBug improves emotional health in children, helping to fortify against mental health issues, while boosting academic success. LuvBug is highly focused on being PROACTIVE; giving kids tools to work through thoughts and feelings, before becoming hard-wired in response to stress or anxiety.  

With over a 1,000 activities, games, videos and themes; our immersive digital world uses self-esteem as the primary springboard towards exploration, creativity, and self-awareness. 

Comprised of 25 Levels, each level includes new video topics with age specific questions during videos and gameplay. All questions are designed to invite familiarity, create distinctions and scaffold earlier lessons, using ‘spiral curriculum’ as the gold standard for learning. 

Parents are notified each time their child advances to a new level rank. Celebrating their accomplishment, creates an opening for sharing and underpins the importance of co-engagement.

There are nine ‘age-based’ levels of difficulty that can be easily adjusted in the dashboard settings (if the default level is too simplistic or advanced). As children grow and learn, the complexity of the questions increases. For children who are not strong readers, have hearing challenges or are new to a certain language, all questions and answers are both written and read aloud. 

LuvBug’s focus on co-engagement opens up communication pathway with parents at an early age, which becomes invaluable to kids as they learn and grow.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t load

*2025-08-30, version 10.2*

The app doesn’t seem to load in the first place. Very disappointed. I have cancelled our subscription. Other than that, we used to enjoy the contents of the app.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2024-11-23, version 10.1*

This app has a lot of potential but needs so much work. It’s like the developers didn’t test it before launching it:

- the feeling questions seem helpful at first but then you realize they use the same roughly 12 questions on repeat. My kid got annoyed eventually with the repeated questions. Some of those questions are bizarre and miss the point. Like “what can we tell from body language? A. A stomach ache b. A bad reputation c. Happiness. The correct answer is happiness but like wouldn’t it also technically be a stomach ache? Another example: during the “generosity” learning the question asks you “what doe’s it mean to help a friend with home work” the answer is ‘being kind’ but they had just used that as an example of generosity with your time. So shouldn’t the answer reflect the learning? And the answer be generosity? 

- glitches: the rendering is sometimes blurry. The questions interject at strange times then the video skips backward. Etc

- games: the video at the beginning explains the emotion in a kid friendly way which is great but the game seems totally unrelated to that emotion. They are just random games that don’t seem to have any educational value. And don’t get me started on the controls. They are terrible and very inaccurate causing tons of errors making it difficult for the kid the be successful in the game. My kidreally disliked most of the games because of this. 

- Videos: some of these videos are great. They speak slow, clearly and in kid friendly language and teach great lessons about emotions and how we can control our feeling and responses to feelings. A few videos miss the markat times though. Like for example when one character takes another characters spot, they stand up for themselves and ask for their spot back but the friend refuses to give it to them despite it being the place they say at the break all day. A third friend interjects and says “let’s not fight, I have another towel” and the person whose spot was taken has to move. Then they agree to not argue over little things she “hug it out”. Not totally wrong but I think this kind of misses the point that the friend shouldn’t have stolen the spot and should have been the one to move to the new spot. Kind teaches that you can take things from people and get your way. 

There is a serious need for a good emotional intelligence app for kids and I wish I could help this company fix this app because it has the potential to fill that gap. But I won’t be buying this app after the 3 day trial in its current state.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work. Scam

*2024-07-12, version 9.11*

App does not work and I have been charged twice totally $300 for a ‘free’ trial. No response after multiple contact attempts either

### 5/5 — That’s a yes from Mom!

*2024-04-09, version 9.1*

Finally, something I can trust for my son.  As a teacher and Mother to a young boy, I am hyper focused on quality screen time and learning.  LuvBug is fun, engaging and instills life lessons in children. I don’t worry when my son grabs his tablet and clicks LuvBug.   A must download for any parent or guardian!

### 5/5 — Great Stuff

*2024-02-27, version 8.3*

Not a lot to say, my son and daughter started asking really insightful questions after about week 2. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — The game sucks and the learning is super sketchy

*2023-10-05, version 5.4*

I would not let my kids play this at all

### 5/5 — I’m meant to be Level6

*2023-06-30, version 4.7*

Why am I party animal?I can’t unlock new stuff.I don’t understand.But everything besides that,good game!😀

### 4/5 — Not for every child

*2023-04-27, version 3.7*

Super cute game but just know it’s not for every child and even though it has higher age groups and all genders, some might not like it. My child hated it.  ((I signed up with I swear a 7 day trial but I’m only out $9.99 so not the biggest deal ever.)) My son age 7 gave it a try for 4 days and he begged me to let him stop. The lessons were not keeping his attention he found them too easy even bumping him to the higher section and he thought the games were redundant especially with all the extravaganzas that HAD to be done before a game could be moved on from.

### 5/5 — Valuable Skills in a Beautiful App

*2022-10-22, version 2.1*

Disclaimer: I received free access to LuvBug for review. Regardless this is my honest opinion. 

LuvBug Learning is a fun game that my kids ask to play just about every day. The parental controls make it very easy to make sure they have a good experience and I love that there are no ads or in app purchases. The quality of the graphics is stunning. The app was easy for my kids to use and they had no problem hitting the ground running. They explain the concepts to your kids and ask questions to check for understanding. It’s really strengthening my kids’ social emotional skills!

### 5/5 — Digital Armour

*2022-10-12, version 2.1*

This app responds to the growing needs of our students whose mental health has been deeply impacted by the pandemic. It also provides a tremendous sense of comfort to teachers and parents who can breathe easy knowing that their children are engaged and developing their social skills on an ad-free, safe and monitored platform. The fun is as unparalleled as its vibrant graphics! Well done.
