### 2/5 — We used to love this app

*2026-05-14, version 2.4*

This was my daughter’s favorite app when she was a baby. We spent lots and lots of time looking at it. Today (she’s 4.5 years old now) we opened it for the first time in a long time for nostalgia purposes and found that they changed everything. The animations are different, the sounds are different, it isn’t how it’s always been. I wish there was the option to see the original versions. We were very disappointed today. We probably won’t ever open this app again. Sad that this is gone now.
