Besides, the only free thing you get is the animal quiz and the rest of the games make you pay after one level. ### 4/5 — No more sound? *2020-05-10, version 3.1.0* We LOVE this app but recently we have lost the sound on it? I’m guessing a recent update has something to do with it? Please fix soon! Thanks! ### 2/5 — Old Macdonald *2018-06-16, version 2.9* We don’t understand which is different? What are we supposed to be observing? ### 2/5 — Purchase *2017-09-05, version 2.7* Can only do one thing before being asked to purchase full version! ### 2/5 — Terrible *2015-12-28, version 2.6* Too many pop ups! My son got too frustrated while playing! ### 4/5 — Aussie *2014-04-14, version 2.3* Great app my grandson loves the real sounds ### 4/5 — Grat *2014-03-22, version 2.3* But I have to buy it all to play all games ### 3/5 — Mum is Kim *2014-01-14, version 2.3* My granddaughter loves the song and getting the animals to make noise. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2013-12-28, version 2.3* This app would be great if there weren't so many advertisements. Very frustrating! ### 3/5 — Decent, but irratating you cant just leave your kids with it. *2013-11-27, version 2.3* The app itself is decent, it has a piano for kids, a few songs to sing along with, and things kids will enjoy doing. However what is annoying about the app is you cant just put your phone on airplane mode and leave your kids with it, because there is too many buttons on the screen they will push that takes your straight out of the app to go online and buy updates for the app. Irratating. I hate kids apps that do this. I just want to be able to leave the kids with the iphone, and enjoy the app, but in order to do that the developers expect us to pay nearly 20 bucks for the complete version? Yeah right, not happening Kids Game Club. ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-10-31, version 2.3* My 15 month old daughter loves this app and it has helped her to learn animal names and noises. It could be more interactive though, as she gets frustrated when only two things on the screen react when touched. I would give it 3 because of this but she loves it regardless, so it's a 4 star!! ### 2/5 — Bummers *2013-10-11, version 2.1* Bought full version. Worked first day. Second day no ads but keeps asking me to purchase full version. I can't because I already bought it. ### 3/5 — For young ones *2013-09-22, version 2.1* My kids are too old at 4 and 5 so buy for younger ones! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Old Macdonald had a farm *2026-07-04, version 3.1.0* 1 star because it told us to pay for the full version it’s $3.99 ### 1/5 — Bad app *2024-03-23, version 3.1.0* I thought you get the entire song for free but it turns out, you only get one verse of the song for free and they make you pay to get the rest. Besides, the only free thing you get is the animal quiz and the rest of the games make you pay after one level. Parents, please skip this app. I would recommend the free app by Duck Duck Moose or the paid app by LoeschWare which contain no ads or in-app purchases. ### 1/5 — Not your fault *2023-05-28, version 3.1.0* I am older and this app is just kinda boring, but my parents won’t get rid of it, not your fault just too easy ### 1/5 — Review *2017-12-05, version 2.9* This game requires you to purchase almost everything which I very annoying ### 1/5 — Worst kids app ever *2017-09-04, version 2.7* Seriously the worst app I have ever downloaded. Beware. Tricks kids to buy. Con artist! ### 1/5 — Not worth my time *2015-11-09, version 2.6* I downloaded this to see if it would play all the way through and it didn't. I Got through the cow verse and than app prompted to buy the full version and if you exited it to took you back to the home screen. ### 1/5 — Mad mom *2015-01-22, version 2.4* You don't get to play much & it wants you to pay to go further. Upset child😞. ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2014-11-09, version 2.3* Stop the in app purchases every other time my 2 year old plays this app! I like the app, but give parents a break!! ### 1/5 — Old macdonald had a farm-all in one *2014-01-26, version 2.3* iPad does'nt have sound despite following the unhelpful information.
