### 2/5 — Inappropriate

*2020-06-20, version 2.7.2*

Ewww

### 2/5 — Read to me feature - slow

*2018-05-08*

The read to me feature is quite slow to keep my toddler’s attention.

### 3/5 — Cute story but that's it

*2015-07-03*

This is a very cute little book but I would not have paid for if I'd known it was just a story there's nothing to go with it too encouraging using the potty. I checked out the same book from the library for free

### 3/5 — Stupid

*2014-01-08, version 2.5*

Really dumb

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-05-11*

This is a great companion if your child is already familiar with the book. Yes, the graphics are simple, but I don't think a potty training child needs sophisticated animation. They need to understand the basics of using the potty.  This is set up as an interactive book that is easy for a young child to use.

### 5/5 — Just as cute as the movie!

*2013-05-01, version 1.09*

Cheap, easy and fun training tool!  My older girls used the video, this is sweetly read.  Love it!

### 5/5 — A little hole for making poo poo.

*2012-11-27, version 1.09*

Well I just really like the graphic portion on anuses.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-10-19, version 1.09*

Everytime my daughter watches this she wants to use the potty. Success!

### 5/5 — simply the best

*2012-05-25, version 1.09*

this is the classic GIRL Prudence version brought to appLife! Delightful.

### 5/5 — Potty time

*2012-05-03, version 1.08.1*

Excellent tool!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2012-03-19*

Not fond of the song at all, but I love the book. I have been having trouble with keeping my little girl on the potty long enough to use it and this book does the job!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2012-02-19, version 1.08.1*

I love this

### 5/5 — Love it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I don't recommend this book!

*2018-04-19, version 2.7.2*

The book was ridiculous. I will not show my daughter this book ever. I read it for myself and was very disappointed in the vocabulary for the vagina "pee pee" and anus "hole". Really, is that what I want my daughter to learn?

### 1/5 — 😳 terribly written

*2017-04-12*

This story uses the word wee wee for vagina.  It's not a good storyline either.  Complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-10-21, version 2.3*

Terrible song and low manly voice.  Not good for kids.  Not interactive.  Save your money.

### 1/5 — It's a bum deal!

*2013-09-10*

This is a terrible book/app ... The potty doesn't look anything like a real potty ( my daughter calls it a cup when she sees it...it looks like a victorian chamber pot) and the story deals mainly with what the potty isn't.... Don't waste your money. It's so bad I am deleting it.

### 1/5 — A chamber pot?

*2013-04-14, version 1.09*

Disappointed with this book. Think I'll stick to my own explanations.

### 1/5 — Wish I hadn't bought this.

*2012-11-13, version 1.09*

I did not like this as a book for my daughter and will probably never show it to her. Horrible anatomy descriptions! "a pee pee for wee wee" "a hole for poo poo" really??

### 1/5 — not worth it - uk

*2012-03-18, version 1.08.1*

Yes, this app has beautiful pictures and the story is nice but it ends there.

The story is American  (not mentioned in app blurb) therefore it refers to diapers throughout and on the 'read to me' mode the accent is so strong it's not worth using.  The whole point for this book is to acknowledge the familiar (nappy) and introduce the unfamiliar. 

As for the potty song - this a random set of words loosely linked to diapers and potty it is not catchy or energetic. 

The price indicates a very high quality app - needs much more work for the uk market .

### 1/5 — Are you kidding me!

*2011-12-31, version 1.08.1*

Potty song is the worst.....has no rhythm and is very slooooow.  I want my daughter to use the potty, not sleep on it.

The book is....well....at best uninspired and at worst it is a secret version of the doomsday prophecy.

### 1/5 — Boring

*2011-07-01, version 1.08.1*

A boring and slow book.  Don't waste your money like I did.

### 1/5 — Waste of $

*2011-06-03*

There must be better videos out there!  The toilet looks like a picture for pouring water and they use the words wee-wee instead of pee-pee.  For us I think it may be more confusing instead of helpful.  I think the song may be too long as well.  Sorry, I don't have anything good to say.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2020-12-08*

Help my little girl potty train herself before the age of 2. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Once Upon a Potty for her

*2020-11-25*

Great reading of a very encouraging and helpful classic! Good format that allows children to help “turn the pages.”

### 5/5 — Apple

*2020-03-16, version 2.7.2*

Very good

### 5/5 — Just right

*2018-11-13, version 2.7.2*

Very usefull

### 5/5 — Great for potty trainers!

*2017-12-14*

Engaging and easy to follow along for potty training children. Clear message and images.

### 5/5 — More!

*2014-08-17, version 2.5*

More Prudence, said our little one. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Awesome Book

*2014-05-25, version 2.5*

My daughter has had a routine in using the potty for weeks but never went in it.  I didn't think any book or story would help. I decided to just give this a try and we went over it this morning and by evening she peed her first time in the potty! I was looking for something that would help make it click for her. She knew what the potty was and knew what to do but I had to show her what pee pee and poo poo was.  No stickers, no naked time..just this app and bam she gets it

### 5/5 — Great potty app

*2014-03-18*

The reason I'm giving 5 stars is becaud my daughter like it so much, that in few she started using the potty with no problems at all; and trust me we were trying for couple of weeks

### 5/5 — Love this story

*2013-08-06, version 1.09*

We used the boy version for our son two years ago and now are happy to use the girl version for our daughter. She loves it!

### 5/5 — Best $$$ ever spent on an app

*2013-06-10, version 1.09*

Love everything about this app!!!!
