### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2013-05-31*

Wonderful app!!

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2013-04-08*

My 16-month old has loved this app for months!  I love that it grows with him by changing the interactivity level, etc. well worth the money, as is the jungle/safari one!!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-02-23*

Clear, simple visuals with great appeal. Lovely audio too. Just the perfect amount of interaction for young minds. My grandson loves this app. It's a great addition to PeekaZoo. Definitely worth the money.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2012-11-29*

I bought this to entertain my friend's 16 month old and it did not disappoint. Something he really liked was when I mirrored the app on my Apple TV and made the animals move when he would touch the tv screen. Highly recommend this beautifully designed app!

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS!

*2012-11-19*

My daughter loves all your games, please make more!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-10-07*

My 21 month old loves this. He is in love with ocean animals, I just wish there were more animals.

### 5/5 — Great peek-a-book app!

*2012-09-21*

### 1/5 — That's it!?

*2014-02-09*

My two year old was done with the paid version in 5 minutes.  Seriously? What a rip off.

### 2/5 — Buggy like all tbd products

*2015-12-10*

Amateur programmers that don't test their products before taking your money.  For example after touching the screen the whale descends from top to bottom with half its body missing on the left.  Then after it finishes descending the body appears.  And Pelican and Stingrays doesn't repeat how to say them when you touch the word (disappointing for a child learning words).  Similarly Sea Lions seems to repeat the word if you press after the printed word and Seahorses only repeats if you press 'Sea' but not anywhere else in the word.  All stuff that programmers that care about their work could have easily found and fixed.

### 3/5 — Mixed feelings

*2016-09-21*

There are some glaring bugs in this app, particularly, there is a whale that's just cut in half... The app is a fun idea, but it is very limited and once you've gone through all the animals once, that's about it. There is no mixing things up or exploring/interacting with the animals in a different way. You touch the screen and the animals appear exactly the same way every time. I guess it is interesting to toddlers, but I imagine even they might get bored with it. I expected something a bit more for the cost.

### 3/5 — For $2.99 there needs to be more animals

*2014-10-06*

For $2.99 there needs to be more animals. This app could be GREAT, but my toddlers go thru it fast. (Oh, and the "touch it" animation could be more interactive.) 3 Stars.

### 3/5 — Cute but..

*2014-05-18*

This app is pretty boring for a toddler who likes interactive apps, not much to do besides hit the forward or back button.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2014-04-29*

very basic. probably more suited to under 3years

### 3/5 — Peek a zoo

*2012-09-27*

I just downloaded this app and although its cute, we couldn't even access the zoo option, it keeps reverting back to the fish screen. And then it freezes on that screen and only way to exit or go back is to completely exit app by hitting button. Must be a bug in it, my grandson is very disappointed..

### 4/5 — hübsch für die Kleinen, aber...

*2020-05-25*

Inhalt: 15 grafisch ansprechend dargestellte Meerestiere. Die Interaktion hält sich in Grenzen.
Die Menüsprache ist von vornherein deutsch, jedoch muss man in den Einstellungen noch einmal deutsch als Sprache auswählen, damit die Tiernamen deutsch ausgesprochen werden.
Sehr nervig: falsche Bildschirmorientierung auf dem iPad, alles steht auf dem Kopf. Je nachdem, welches Case man am iPad angebracht hat, ist eine sinnvolle Nutzung der App dadurch kaum möglich :(

### 4/5 — Great underwater animal app for kids!

*2013-07-15*

My 14 month old loves this app and is mesmerized by the animals. I just wish the tour of the zoo could be on random so we don't see the animals in the same order every time.  We often end the tour before its over so we rarely see the animals at the end.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-05-26*

My little one loves all of the apps by the developer. These have wonderful graphics and catchy music! Your kid will have so much fun!!

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2014-06-07*

My 2 year old loves this app!

### 5/5 — Great for toddlers

*2014-04-12*

We bought this app after using the "egg head" app from this creator. Great transitional app- featuring some of the same animals so our 23 month old son recognizes them but they include the animal body not just the head! This app is super cute and interactive- which is helping our son with using his fingers on the touch screen. Sounds are great, colors are great. Love love these apps.

### 5/5 — Love the multi lingual options!!

*2014-04-12*

Was just looking for more French and Spanish speaking apps for my son!!

### 5/5 — Super cute!

*2014-04-04*

My 2 year old loves this one.

### 5/5 — Very Enjoyable

*2014-03-30*

All 4 of my grand kids , 2-8, really enjoy this app.They love the color and animation of the sea creatures.  It is a springboard for the older kids to help find out facts about each sea creature !

### 5/5 — Great app w language options

*2014-02-23*

My baby loves all of the peek a zoo apps and I love that I can set to Spanish!!! Thanks

### 5/5 — We love this

*2013-11-15, version 1.4*

This is one of my son's favorite apps! We love to play  it before (and after) we go to our local aquarium. Very cute.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-11-10*

My son absolutely loves this series of apps.  Highly recommend them.  The details are great, and they're visually very appealing.

### 5/5 — Shark?

*2013-06-27*

I am a teacher and love this app!  What about adding shark and starfish?
