### 3/5 — Not easy to navigate

*2026-08-27, version 7.3.2*

Love PBS content, but you can’t search for or browse shows easily so when my child specifically asks to watch something, I can’t just put it on. Please fix this.

### 5/5 — Good but one thing

*2026-08-15, version 7.3.1*

One of the videos on the Ruff Ruffman videos was not being like this, there was an error playing photos and you.

### 3/5 — Word world is for babies

*2026-08-15, version 7.3.1*

I like the app in all but when it comes to word world, I think it’s for 2 year olds to watch or babies.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-11, version 7.3.1*

Terrible decision made by you guys

### 1/5 — Nightmare Fuel

*2026-08-02, version 7.3.1*

Everyone, I hate dinosaur train! At the very end of the intro, Laura the Gigantosaurus lunges forward and eats the camera. To make it worse, it produces an ear deafening sound that is 110 dB and it sounds like a mix of a baby elephant in distress, a tiger, a lion and an alligator (maybe a squealing pig or a whinnying horse but distorted). Why teach kids education if it uses scary sounds and visuals? What the people are recording the sounds for are very wrong.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-31, version 7.3.1*

Just because we’re kids doesn’t mean we’re babies and the developers act like they don’t know that. Don’t download if you’re 7+. There is some better stuff out there.

### 1/5 — X

### 1/5 — Fix Your App

*2026-07-06, version 7.3.1*

Yo, app devs, the screen will go black during an episode, and needs to be restarted every time this happens. Fix it, what do they pay you for?

### 1/5 — I don’t know my name is Rahaf

*2026-07-06, version 7.3.1*

I don’t like PS kids I like the game not to be sent by no way to one

### 1/5 — No updates

*2026-07-01, version 7.2.0*

None of the shows were updating. Same shows for two months now

### 1/5 — This app is for babies and not for babies at the same time

*2026-06-23, version 7.2.0*

This app is for 1 day olds and absolutely sucks in general. How could anybody like this stupid app!!?? I LOATHE baby shows.

And that’s all that this app is. Just pure baby and toddler stuff. And the shows on this app have absolutely no sense of humor. And every GOOD show has a sense of humor.

I do not recommend this app, even to toddlers. All the positive reviews are faked. Trust me. DON’T GET THIS APP. This is an adult app disguised as a kids app.

### 5/5 — Update Requests

*2026-08-22, version 7.3.1*

We Love your game so MUCH but we were Wondering on the Game Sidewalk Sushi If you could add Another Level! So after the Food stand, food truck and building you could add a bigger building to get after With TWO FLOORS and you could hire your own Workers! With more Prizes and Rewards! Because there are lots more Shushi recipes to add! Mainly because it gets boring after you finish the game and I have been waiting for an update on that GAME! LOVE YOUR GAME!
