### 5/5 — Preschool Kids!

*2021-08-01*

I loved the old McDonald Had A Farm Book when I was 2-5 years old.

### 5/5 — Unlocked a memory

*2020-04-12*

Bruh this one was a THROWBACK like it made me remember this one time when I was just vibing on my bed and I lost a tooth lol. Anyways to all the parents reading this; if your kid says that they high key have suicidal thoughts a lot do something about it immediately. But like don’t go overboard and send them away to a mental institution or something but like just tell them it’s okay to have those thoughts and they are going to come back but you will help them, and get them a therapist. Yes a therapist. Talking to a parent versus a therapist is very different and your kid will be able to improve mentally better with a therapist then you. I know it’s hard to hear but it’s hard to talk to each other about stuff like that because of the dynamic relationship between a parent and a child. So anyways great game my dudes!

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-03-22*

Awesome

### 3/5 — Love DUCK DUCK apps.... but please move the music button

*2018-07-02*

Dear developers,

My toddler loves your apps. We have several. However, the music button in the Old MacDonald app needs to be moved. You currently have it located in the lower right corner which is an intuitive location. So, instead of pressing the arrow to move to the next page, she keeps pressing the music icon. This lower right corner is where the arrow is located in the Wheels On The Bus app. It’s just confusing. I think you should move the music button to the starting page and have it only show up there bc a user is probably not going to want to change the music settings very often.

### 5/5 — My daughter loves this app

*2017-02-06*

So cute and fun for children
