The camera was shaking and then function properly as well as the physics I mean as you can tell, something tells me that this game is poor me or something I don’t know like like like when I download it again I was hoping that would work. It didn’t like every time I tried to tap A random fruit would appear and besides in the original one when you tapped the caterpillar would come to you but anyways, whatever this bug is, could you please fix it? i’m tired of having these crashouts over the game, not functioning properly.🙄 **Developer response:** Yikes! We're here to fix your problem.

This app brought tears to my eyes that I felt the caterpillar was really in the room with me. I do agree there maybe should be a few more things to add to make it worth the price, but it was enough for me to share it with my grown kids and they all loved it. I really love how the caterpillar is initially apprehensions of the toy mouse and eventually tries to catch it. So adorable! **Developer response:** Wow! We can read messages like yours all day (and night!) We're so happy you're enjoying our app. This makes everyone's hard work here worthwhile. And now...we'll stop reading it and start working on something you'll love even more! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-04-17, version 5.0.0* This game is fun and I like how he can hang out with me and he is cute! ### 5/5 — Great job can you add more? *2021-02-01* The game is really good and it’s very calming with all the pretty colors and the music, and the loop is amazing. Maybe you could add more things to interact with the caterpillar, using games and maybe being able to pet it. Overall you could only add to this game to make it better. **Developer response:** Wow! You've made our day! We're so happy you're enjoying the app and are looking forward to more features. This makes everyone's hard work here worthwhile. And now...onto creating the next feature we hope you'll love! ### 3/5 — At Starting every time display setting is bad *2020-10-07* At every starting introducing the setting with display is bad. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the feedback. We'd like to look into it right away! Can you send us a quick email with some more details to support@touchpress.com? Our team will get back to you. Thanks. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2020-07-03, version 5.0.0* This app is so fun I can play it all day without being bored. I just want you to know that this app is the best app I’ve used in my life. You should have this app forever! ### 5/5 — Rdgrreghf *2020-07-02, version 5.0.0* Ddfhfyr ### 5/5 — Very nice and good *2020-06-08, version 5.0.0* Very good and nice ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-04-16, version 5.0.0* I love this app it’s sooo great how you can have a pet get it now! ### 5/5 — Bon jeu *2020-03-31* Un bon jeu ! On en voit très vite les limites mais faire marcher une chenille sur la tête de son chat :) ou noyer mon salon sur des dessins moches et encore tout envahir de bulles , tout ça ça mérite 5 étoiles ! ### 5/5 — Hi *2020-03-28, version 5.0.0* I like it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t even play *2025-11-15, version 5.0.0* When I first downloaded the game, I opened the app ,with three easy steps but after I started there was a shaking screen and motions telling me to move the phone but when I did the exact motion nothing happened,when I redownloaded the app it told me I was not in a well lighted space.so I continue to have a non purposed game in my home screen ### 1/5 — The app is the worst app ever! I liked the first one but the camera broke *2025-07-30, version 5.0.0* Like the game broke ### 1/5 — So angry *2025-05-15, version 5.0.0* When I was playing this game I just glitched out of the game the things were glitching too… I hate this!!! ### 1/5 — Update needed! *2023-06-30, version 5.0.0* Please update your app to support newest phones! ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2021-03-08, version 5.0.0* Augmented reality can’t make up for this no point app that’s literally mind numbingly boring. Kids will learn absolutely nothing from this app. But if you want them to space out and lose brain cells, while you do your own thing by all means waste your money on it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish. Glad I didn’t pay for it *2019-03-28, version 5.0.0* Doesn’t work at all. The developer’s implementation of AR is obviously broken. Large flat area (entire kitchen floor), most times nothing happens. Brightly lit room, tells you it is too dim. What does it need? A floodlit football pitch? Also not at all clear what you are supposed to do when the tablet pops up at the beginning for initialisation. This is in comparison to many other AR apps I have tried which work absolutely fine and are nowhere near as fussy. I have an iPad Pro 11. ### 1/5 — This game scared my daughter *2019-03-23, version 5.0.0* This game is not good for children, it scares my daughter she can’t sleep for a whole week. ### 1/5 — Deceiving money grab, not kids friendly *2019-03-22* After installing the free app and opening it, first thing is a pop up that says play. Click it, and it launches you back to the app store to the same/similar app, but with $1.99 listing. What? Back to the app, and you’ll find lots of hidden ads/ways for the app to get you back to the app store to buy other apps from the developer. What trick is this? Very deceiving and definitely not for kids. **Developer response:** Sorry you're not happy with our app. To be clear, there is no pop-up saying play when you open the app. Are you sure you're referring to the correct app? Regarding the other apps you are seeing, you have simply come across "More from StoryToys" within the help section. This shows a small selection of some of our other apps that are similar and therefore might be of interest, much in the same way that children's books will show images of the author's other books on the in side of the front or back covers. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2018-12-24, version 4.0.0* I tried restarting my new iPhone and updating to most current software: it simply won’t even open. ### 1/5 — Total crap! Give back my money! *2018-12-22, version 4.0.0* It always says there’s not enough light, even I put it directly under the sun. Can I ask for a refund? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-12-14, version 5.0.0* I love it so much ### 5/5 — Oh my god l can’t *2025-04-29, version 5.0.0* Why is that caterpillar so freaking cute I love how it follows me around and it’s nice and healthy ### 5/5 — Copyright ©️Storytoys Limited, 2001-2007 *2025-03-27, version 5.0.0* AR is a great version ### 5/5 — I love my very hungry caterpillar *2025-03-01* Do not judge me I am 10 years old I still use this app **Developer response:** Thanks so much!

Way to go! ### 5/5 — El juego se vuelve muy loco *2024-07-30* El juego se vuelve muy loco, porque cuando veo la ciudad de la oruga glotona estaba flotando hacia arriba, así que cuando lo moví funcionaba, pero el problema es que cuando oruga es que no entiendo por qué se estaba flotando todo **Developer response:** Hi there! Sorry you're having difficulty with the app. Could you please email us at support@storytoys.com explaining the problem and we'll do our best to help you resolve it. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Nostálgico *2024-06-17* Mano, a vibe nostálgica é inexplicáve!!!!! Mesmo que eu nasci em 2016 e a vibe é de 2018, infelizmente eu n vivi na época, mas mesmo assim é nostálgico. Parabéns para os criadores **Developer response:** Wow! We can read messages like yours all day (and night!) We're so happy you're enjoying our app. This makes everyone's hard work here worthwhile.
