I would give it a 5, but one problem, since latest software upgrade the picture is smaller, can’t use all the features ### 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. ### 4/5 — Good kids fun *2014-01-16, version 2.0.3* Our 3 and 4 year old love this . Checkout itzy spider too. ### 5/5 — A winner *2013-09-10, version 2.0* All my grandchildren ( youngest being 5 now) love this app great for in the car, even played to crying children in supermarket ### 5/5 — Awesome kids game! *2013-08-11, version 1.1.1* This game entertains kids of all ages! I've used it for friends kids ages 2-5 and even in line at Disneyland to entertain a flustered looking couple's 3 yr old daughter who was tired of waiting- she instantly calmed down, and her 7 yr old sister even joined in on the fun! It's amazing how quickly it draws them in! ### 5/5 — One of my son's favorites *2013-07-20, version 1.1.1* My son is one and a half and he loves this app!! He has just recently gotten good at interacting with it himself instead of just watching. I love the funny and creative things that happen on each page. The bull dozer is our favorite. ### 5/5 — Fun as well as Funny *2013-07-08, version 1.1.1* My Grand daughter loves the music. We sing along. I love the funny additions. Like the spaceship sucking up the cows. Makes it enjoyable for the children and the adults playing with them. ### 4/5 — Great App for Toddler *2013-04-28, version 1.1.1* My 2 year old loves this. The graphics are great, the voices are perfect. I would only suggest making the transition pages swipeable. ### 5/5 — Thanks duck duck moose! *2013-04-17* Good quality app that children of all ages can enjoy. I now have bought many duck duck moose apps as they are well worth the money ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-04-13, version 1.1* My son loves this app! By the way, if the sound doesn't work it is because the sound switch on your phone is off. ### 3/5 — Have to purchase twice? *2013-02-20, version 1.1* Totally unimpressed that you have to purchase twice for the iPhone and iPad. Other than that, my children love these apps. Would give 5 stars if you'd allow to download on both iPhones/iPads for one price. We have almost every single app this company makes on the iPad. I recently purchased two for the iPhone. ### 5/5 — Old macdonald *2013-02-18, version 1.1* Awesome for little kids. Interactive and fun!! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-01-31, version 1.1* My 20 month old son loves it! ### 4/5 — Great fun *2013-01-27, version 1.1* Easy to use and fun to play ### 5/5 — Fun app *2013-01-15, version 1.1* This is a really fun and entertaining app. I like playing along with my son to see the extras on each page, like the cow being abducted by aliens. There are 12 pages, so lots of things for my little one to do! ### 5/5 — Nice ! *2013-01-13, version 1.1* My daughter like it ### 5/5 — Great app! No trouble with sound *2012-12-21, version 1.1* My 2 yr old loves this app! It has--thankfully--made waiting for many dr appts and long waits at restaurants much easier to bear. We have had no trouble with the sound and I have it on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Old Mcdonald *2012-12-15, version 1.1* Both of my kids have loved this- it whiles away a bit of time if you get stuck somewhere! ### 3/5 — Sound?? *2012-12-07, version 1.1* The sound just stopped working on this app and there's no way to turn it back on! Glad to see there are others with this issue and it's not just my phone! Otherwise it's an awesome app. My daughter loves it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2012-11-02, version 1.1* Rubbish. Doesn't work beyond the first page. Don't buy ### 1/5 — Crashes when I push the arrow *2012-07-31, version 1.1* Can't play the game. It crashes every time I press the arrow to get into the game. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2011-04-02, version 1.0.4* Don't buy. Too expensive and doesn't do anything but have an annoying song !! ### 1/5 — Bought w/o password *2011-01-11* My son bought this app without me signing in my password. Not happy. ### 2/5 — App *2013-07-19, version 1.1.1* Way Overpriced compared to similar educational apps.. My almost 2 year old was bored after 1 scroll through of pushing random items on the page. ### 2/5 — Can't get sound to work *2012-08-14, version 1.1* Can only get sound effects not the song like I can on iPad. ### 2/5 — Feel cheated *2012-08-03, version 1.1* It's says that there are 35 activities but it's just an audio book. Very Disappointed with this app, it's so not worth £1.49. Don't get this app, it's a waste of money xxxx ### 2/5 — Very disappointed *2011-07-04, version 1.0.6* Bought this app because my 2yr old loves the "wheels on the bus" app but this is not as half as good. I expected lots of animals but instead there are tractors, bulldozers and space-ships??? Music is annoying too. ### 2/5 — Maybe better for under 4 *2011-04-14* Age said 1-3,4-7 but my 5 and 7 yr olds found it too babyish. It's repetitive and boring after a while. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2010-12-14* My 13 month old LOVES her Duck Duck Moose apps, but this one is very difficult for her to use because the music selection "button" is right where she puts her right hand! So every time she goes to tap something, she ends up hitting the purple music button and is brought to a different screen that is NOT entertaining in the least. She doesn't understand why this keeps happening and gets very frustrated. Duck Duck Moose, can you just move the location of that button to the top left hand corner of the screen? If so, I would change my star rating from a 2 to a 5! It just isn't something that we can use right now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Old MacDonald had a Farm Book *2026-07-17* A game you play with different kinds of farm animals and make sounds at em ### 5/5 — Added more 12 verses *2025-12-24* Version 2.2.4 ### 5/5 — Added Gibberish *2025-11-12* Version 2.2.4 ### 5/5 — Fun fun fun fun fun fun!!! *2022-03-05* These games are so good make more games like this ### 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 ### 5/5 — My daughter loves this app *2017-02-06* So cute and fun for children ### 5/5 — Love this app *2013-12-30* We were introduced to this app by my 2 year olds speech therapist. It's a wonderful app full of all kinds of things for her to learn. It's great except I wish it had a separate menu for changing the language. My daughter often touches the language button while playing, since it's on the regular interactive screen, and then can't figure out how to get back to the game. If the language were placed on the main screen or in a settings menu where little fingers couldn't accidentally touch it, it would be perfect. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2013-10-08, version 2.0.3* Not only do I use this app for distraction during painful procedures, I often play it with my one year daughter when she is bored, grizzly, teething or just because it has things it it that would even amuse an adult! Please make more as after playing it 30 times at work I get a big irritated so I have all the others as well! An essential purchase for all paediatricians and mothers! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
