It’s frustrating
The graphics in this one are vastly different than the others and seem “rushed” just to get the app out. Too much going on and only half the animals shows are good representation. Also some of the animals are very small. For winter, why oh why would you put a frog? Also, why choose a weasel but not a wolf or a bear in any of the seasons? Common forest animal that every child thinks of. I’ve had peekaboo barn for ten years now and just discovered the other apps. Peekaboo barn was simple. The continuous barn background wasn’t a distraction and easy to make out the animals pictured. I was hoping the same would be for the forest one, even if it showed different seasons. I hope the makers of the app take the time revamp this one. It could be so much better.

Where is support? Where is Peekaboo Farm Day?
This is not an app a toddler would appreciate. My son found it boring and scary. Peekaboo barn is best. Wish this app was cuter and more entertaining. Also, the voices aren’t very well done.
You’d think that with people complaining about this for 7+ years that they would have redesigned this app to be more like Peekaboo Barn or Wild, but it seems they’ve decided to ride the coattails of the other two and depend on parents to buy this app because they like the others even though it’s terrible. Not nearly as eye catching or interesting as the other two. They tried to make it super artistic but it’s just not geared towards children. Very frustrated that I spent money on this because it was a waste.

I love using this app in speech therapy. The kids love it and it almost feels open-world, like you can just explore. Each scene has several animal friends to find, which you see with the rustling of leaves or a tail behind a stump. You can ask what questions, label animals, imitate the sounds your hear, and more! I highly recommend this app!

My one-year-old loves Peekaboo Barn, so I bought the package to get four other Peekaboo apps. He does not like any of the other Peekaboo apps like he does Peekaboo Barn. The other ones just aren’t as fun. I would not suggest getting the package.
Not worth the cost. Doesn't keep toddlers interested and not interactive for young children. Also music is not very child friendly. Pictures are nice but don't waste your money.
This app is not as easy to use, you don't get to choose where to go. The animals are too small to see well. i love Charlie Harper, but these animals do a disservice to his illustrations. No real interaction for child to feel engaged. Disappointed
My 20 month old loves Peek-a-Boo Barn but this one is so boring compared to that one. It's slow, dark, and you can barely see some of the animals. She gets frustrated with it.
I am in love with this app! The graphics and illustrations are beautiful with a distinct sophisticated style. I love the real jungle feel and overall calm atmosphere while you hunt for animals. I highly recommend this app
Small, not well animated, boring for toddlers. Get the other peek a boo apps instead.
My daughter (15 months) loves peekaboo barn but she is not a fan of this game. The animals are too small, the animations are not very sophisticated, and for some of the animals only the head is shown.
How luck that this was the first app I purchased for my lil man! Think I love it more than he does, so far, he's 7 months. I love that they used realistic sounds, the names of the animal is visual and spoken and the voices of children tops it off. Great app and I'll be looking for more like this.
Nothing like peekaboo barn. Stay away
The Charley Harper graphics are amazing and my two year old niece is obsessed with this app!
This is a beautifully done app. The art work is lovely, interesting things happen to move a child along the discovery and the ability to record your voice is very creative!
Only 4 scenes, not very interactive, lame music, sloooow paced. My 16 month old wasn't interested at all. Cute illustrations though.
I've bought the PeekaBoo Sesame Street, Refrigerator and Barn for my 10 month old (which he LOVES!). But this one requires very fine hand movements and very controlled eye/hand coordination so it's not appropriate for his age (But I think it would be boring for older children). The images don't have a wide range of colour and it announces just 3 out of 4 seasons with very bizarre music for children. Not a good addition to the PeekaBoo app series.

Beautiful pictures. Crappy app. Boring for toddlers.
