You might find one episode and what seems like 50 compilations of all the nick jr channel shows in little mini videos. It really gets on my nerves. When my toddler clicks on Bubble Guppies, that is what she wants to see, not, essentially commercials or ads for other shows with her Bubble Guppies mixed in. Sooo annoying. You can do better Nick Jr. Otherwise, the app works with no technical issues. ### 3/5 — Umm, *2021-04-16, version 2.4.5* Hi, so, I literally just got the app, and it’s totally acting weird. Every game I try on here works incorrectly, it has flaws. On the coloring book, I finally got to the colors, the coloring place was just black. I tried stickers, wouldn’t load. I try music maker, no sound. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so I ask you, the developers, to please figure it out. My game isn’t gonna work unless you fix it. Please fix it. It’s ok, if not, I have plenty of games, please just try. I thank your game, even if you don’t fix it. Thanks for reading, bye! **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Please tell us more about your issue by sending an email to appsupport@nickjr.com ### 2/5 — I’m mad at it :/ *2020-09-06, version 2.4.5* So, I used to play Nick Jr. And now I download it and it says I have to log into Noggin to play more games and watch videos! And I’m not logging in for that. Why can’t you just play games like it used to? I’m really upset I played Shimmer and shone racing on the flying carpets, It’s my favorite I’m very mad! Please do something because I really love the game! And I hate that you did that it would be better if you just put all the games and videos. Unless I can’t find it but I’m pretty sure they moved it to Noggin because I checked several times and I still haven’t found a game like that! Just I love the game why do you need a account? Just put the thing back to normal because I’m giving it less rating it makes me very upset, I don’t know if it’s the same to others but I’m mad and I wish they just put all the games cuz people don’t wanna create a account and do all that stuff, I hate it now ### 3/5 — Not quite what I thought at first *2020-04-26, version 2.4.5* This app is great, but two things are are making it a lot less fun. 1: BRING BACK THE SHOWS!!!! ( wow wow wubzey, lalaloopsy, ni hio kailan, yo gabba gabba and other shows other people are requesting.) It's a pain in the neck to see them go. 2: enough tv provider, it’s starting to become a problem, and it’s annoying to see people constantly recommend this over and over till the earth explodes. So, if ur reading this, pls fix these problems, other wise I’d like this way better than noggin. Overall, amazing app. I’d recommend this to 30 people. Cool games, cute animation, and much more. thxs for reading ### 2/5 — Constantly Have To Sign In *2019-12-29, version 2.4.4* This app, more than any other app I use, requires me to sign in frequently. I can pretty much count on having to sign in/re-activate with my tv provider any time my kid wants to watch something. It’s incredibly annoying and inconvenient when so many other apps don’t just “forget” my provider and activation. I’ve also never seen such a piecemeal selection of full episodes to choose from. Get three random episodes from a season 5 and then three random episodes from season 2. Also quite a few false hopes get raised when there is an icon for a show, my kid gets excited to watch it, and when you click on the tile it is just a couple of 30 second clips and no full episodes. Nobody wants those clips; people want full episodes. ### 3/5 — Read And Reply To This Nick Jr. *2019-06-09, version 2.4.3* I Downloaded the app and I was kinda all right with it, the app had Go Diego Go (That barely Airs Reruns) So it is a nice semi-obscure pick, Then when I checked Blue’s Clues, it had the clips of the show but when I checked the games area, I do not see anything for Blue’s Clues, I remember the show had games on the Nick Jr. website. For what I have seen of the reviews other people gave it, I saw some reviews of people complaining that Comcast Xfinity is not one of the options of the cable providers you have on your app. And also... If you had Go Diego Go on the app, Why you do not have Blue’s Room or Yo Gabba Gabba, Those shows no longer air reruns, Especially Go Diego Go. ### 3/5 — Just okay *2019-05-07, version 2.4.3* My daughter loves this app, but as a parent, I find it frustrating that 1) I have to have a certain tv provider to make the app work properly. 2) I hate the continuously running barrage of random clips and videos that never end. It’s such a waste of time to sort through them all to find the full episodes. Lastly, my daughter was disappointed that she can’t watch full episodes of shows that are no longer running such as Mutt and Stuff and Dora. Why even have them on there as options if all you are going to offer are meaningless clips? ### 3/5 — Not impressed *2019-02-01, version 2.4.3* I was very sad that I could not watch my favorite childhood shows without signing with a TV provider that I do not have. The fact that unless you sign in you can’t watch full episodes of great shows is not making me happy. I love The Backyardigans, Team Umizoomi, Bubble Guppies, Dora the explorer, Yo Gabba Gabba, Max and Ruby, and the show I’ve been watching since I was at least 3, Blues clues. The design was a bit outgoing but still quite fun and little kids would have great time watching educational shows. I would recommend if you have a TV provider. ### 2/5 — Needs to be fixed *2018-08-25* Overall the app is just okay. I do like the fact that my son can watch whatever whenever but the app has too many glitches. It tells me my iPad is low on storage all the time (it’s not I just got it) and it also will tell me a video is not available right after I just watched one. Then it’ll tell me I need to sign in again and when I go to do so, the app freezes. I have to close it all the way out and hope when I go back in it works again. I like this app and love the shows for my son but I will delete if it keeps acting funny. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This used to be a million dollar app *2023-09-23* Before I used to be on this app for hours even when I was to old for it ( lol I’m almost in middle school) but after I redownload the app I noticed that they took away all the game and all the good shows like ni hao Kai lan rainbow rangers sunny day and Abby Hatcher why and I said I had to sign into noggin to play more games no way I am signing in so why can’t you just bring back the games and shows it just makes me mad they got rid of all the good shows and all the fun for no reason I miss my favorite games like making gingerbread houses or exploring a spooky and fun mansion I even enjoyed it more then noggin so if you want this app to regain more popularity bring back all the good shows and games!😡 **Developer response:** We would like to help!

However, after re-downloading this app, I noticed that all the great shows were taken out as well as like every game and that makes me mad. Why did you have to do this? As many others would agree this plus you took out all the really good shows to if I didn’t mention it already. on the topic of, on your television channel, you also took off really good shows (fresh beat band, wow wow wubzy, Olivia, etc) but that’s a different story. Please bring back all the good stuff. Some of the shows I can’t even find Paramount plus Which I bless by the way, but again different story. Also, why did you have to make a separate app and force people to pay their savings or checks or whatever just so children can be happy? What’s annoying is that there are people who can’t afford this who used to be happy with just a single free app so that kids THEIR kids can play cool games. Make your kids happy again by bringing back the good stuff. Thank you for your time. -a person **Developer response:** Because of rights, syndication, contracts, and other boring stuff, certain shows or episodes may not be available. Sorry about that! We'll always have plenty of other new shows for you to watch. ### 1/5 — Wish i could give is 0 stars. *2022-07-22, version 108.0* What a disaster this update is. I have a 3 year old on the autism spectrum. She loved the nick jr app so much. She was able to navigate it on her own and she loved all the short videos and song. Over the last year more and more content was removed but I knew it was because they wanted you to pay for noggin which I have and I do pay for. However noggin isn’t user friendly for my daughter and the new update renders the app totally useless for her. She has been so upset about it. Please bring back the old format even if you don’t add more content. Or make the noggin app more user friendly. ### 1/5 — Have to Pay Now *2020-10-05, version 2.4.5* We have AT&T TV with Nick Jr included in our subscription, however, Nick is wanting you to add an additional Nick Jr. subscription for $2/month to be able to continue to watch full episodes on the app. So not only do you have to pay through your provider for a normal channel, but you have to pay again to be able to access full episodes. It makes no sense. My child started watching Blaze about 2 months ago and he loves it. We are super bummed that it won’t allow him to watch full episodes using our AT&T login nor my parents’ direct TV login. We’re moving away from Nick all together now and won’t be including it on our future TV subscriptions just based on principal alone. Shady & greedy company. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Please tell us more about your issue by sending an email to appsupport@nickjr.com ### 1/5 — No Longer User Friendly *2018-10-06* We have used this app for a while. On iPad and Roku. They were both updated and are no longer user friendly. It’s not easy to find just episodes of your favorite shows any more - most of what shows are small clips of the shows and that’s all, only rarely does an entire episode turn on unless you jump through hoops to make sure you have only selected episodes every show you change too. And that is only on Roku. I saw no option to fix that on iPad. Even my kids say they have “ruined” Nick Jr and it’s not on as often at our house. ### 1/5 — New Version Needs Major Help *2018-09-14, version 2.4.3* Previous interface was light years better. Developers Please take a look at this interface perhaps testing with a small child looking over your shoulders to get the true experience of what parents go through trying to use it. First of all— Remove auto play soon as the app is opened between episodes is fine but when first opened it needs to go back to the main screen NOT automatically playing anything. That is not helpful and completely confusing especially if you stopped mid episode. Also The app showing so much at once is an overwhelming experience for small children and a recipe for attention deficit disorder the way it shows so much content and peepers random interstitials between episodes. Please have a professional in kids programming take a look at this the interface is unfocused and overwhelming for small children. Just compare it against the previous version which was 100 percent more user and small kid friendly. ### 1/5 — Not Part Of Cable Subscription? *2018-04-15, version 2.4.3* 1 Star only because there is at least some functionality. Navigation of the app is atrocious. Episode names, movie titles, all absent. You have to rely on some generic picture to select what to watch. We watched a Thomas movie last week, which is currently unavailable this week. Not even in the app. What? We’re forced thanks to Mattel’s greed to watch Thomas The Tank Engine not on PBS but on Nickelodeon. Er, Nick Jr. We do have it as part of a cable subscription, but the app simply won’t let us log in. It says it’s not part of our subscription, and to contact our provider. Uh... what? It certainly is. - So, we can’t watch anything locked. Which is much of it. Poor app. Mediocre at best. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it but Bring back the classic show’s *2023-10-05* I love this channel and app but one thing we all want is the classic show’s to come back on air or get a reboot, make a separate channel of Nick jr with all the classic show’s only like team umizoomi, Dora the explorer, ni hao Kai-lan and more, I miss those classic show’s, either bring them back, work on the reboot for the classic show’s, or make a separate channel with classic show’s only, and don’t you even do dumb thinking saying “because of right’s and other boring stuff we can’t do that sorry about that lollll”, don’t you say that and MAKE A REBOOT, DO A SEPARATE CHANNEL OR BRING BACK THE CLASSIC SHOW’S ON AIR RIGHT NOW! DON’T JUST SIT THERE AND SAY BECAUSE OF BORING STUFF WE CAN’T DO THAT SORRY ABOUT THAT! DO IT NOW! I LOVE THE CLASSIC SHOWSSSSSSSSSSS ### 5/5 — Love the app *2023-03-25* First of all the app is amazing but they're no fun games on it anymore it's all stupid boring match it games I wish u could bring it back honestly going to prob delete it because it's not fun anymore but on the good side I like that u added the times of the shows that r going to be on pls bring the fun games back because I will delete it not joking I will actually it ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-03-25* Love the app and the best game I can do with it thanks for it thanks love love the game love you game I hope it is a good app for me and to do it again I don’t want anything else going on in the app I love the game and it is so much better app than anything else you have ever seen in the app thanks to the game and you have a good app and you have a good game to play and it thanks to the app I just don’t know what else I want but it is a good game ### 5/5 — Thank you for the update!!!! *2017-09-18, version 2.3.4* After the developer contacted me and I spent $100 to purchase every season of wallykazam. Ya do what ya gotta to keep a 18 month old happy..... and it means wally can now travel without needing to be connected to the internet. So that's an awesome plus.

My daughter is only 3 and some shows feel just too mature for her. I constantly consider deleting the app or switching to one with more age appropriate options because she gets frustrated if I try to steer her away from the more mature shows. Nick jr please add a time limit option and please give parents the option to hide certain shows on the app. ### 4/5 — Great but update episodes *2021-04-10, version 2.4.5* Hi I am 8 years old it’s 10:40pm Friday April 9, 2021 I was looking for baby Sharks big show new on Fridays but right now the new episode isn’t on there o man I forgot to record it on tv just update more episodes by. Bad games the don’t move to much. For niggon $7.99 month no way never pay $7.99 a month boo apple 17+ no not true and no drug use sexual content no mild horror boo apple boo ### 3/5 — Bring back games *2023-06-26* Hey Nick jr, I loved playing all of your games when I was little. Shimmer and shine games, paw patrol games, you name it! (I’m in middle school) I recently wanted to bring back some memories from my childhood and download this again to play all the fun games. Still, has really great shows, but the games I re-downloaded this for are not here! I used to play the shimmer and shine gem race, and the gingerbread house decorating. I did read some other reviews that you have responded to. Please bring these games back, and can you give me a better understanding of why you had to delete all the fun games? Thank you for your time -Delilah ### 3/5 — Complete disappointment *2022-07-14, version 108.0* I have had Nick Jr on my phone for my grandchildren for several years and they love playing the games, just got a little bored with the limited selection. We tried to get into the games just recently and they were totally devastated to find only videos, they are 4 & 5. I have xfinity thru comcast so I can’t get the games without subscribing but I don’t even see where you can do that. With such an extensive list of providers, would there be any way to add some other choices? Frazzled Mawmaw **Developer response:** The wait is over! Xfinity login is now available for our apps and websites. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
