### 4/5 — Recently has started to crash

*2023-06-28, version 3.0.2*

I have been using recently for kiddos and it keeps crashing at the jungle animals. I haven’t had any issue before this started. The music is really fun!

### 2/5 — Crashing iOS 14

*2021-02-21, version 3.0.2*

App has started crashing on iOS14 iPad 7th Gen. Always happens on the fourth “location” on the first animal.

### 3/5 — Please include a Spanish language option!!

*2018-09-12, version 3.0.2*

Please include a Spanish language option!!

### 4/5 — Could improve the animal sounds

*2018-04-12*

My son loves the other peekaboo games and I feel like the others have better ‘sounds’. The animations are nice though. Had to re-download it despite initial download being with a strong connection because it always crashes at the Arctic or brush.

### 4/5 — French Option??

*2017-01-24*

We have peekaboo barn which has a French option. Would be really nice if this app also had a French option or at the very least a recording option for parents to record in their language.

### 3/5 — Hard to hear

*2016-09-30, version 3.0.2*

I wanted to like this app more since my kids all loved Peekaboo Barn. It has potential to be a lot better. The animal sounds are incredibly hard to hear, you don't get to choose which region to visit, and you only see a few animals before you move on to another continent.

### 2/5 — Once again, no sound.

*2016-09-08, version 3.0.0*

The other peekaboo aps have worked great but this one has nothing but problems. I frequently have to delete it and reinstall. Nice variety with the new addition but frustrated.

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2016-08-26, version 3.0.0*

My daughter loves the other peek a boo apps and I knew she would love this one too, but the sound doesn't work. I've messed with the settings and restarted my phone with no luck. Definitely a disappointment :(

### 2/5 — Sub par graphics

*2014-02-14, version 2.0.2*

All the other games in this series have better graphics. The grass is all pixelated. Oh well. At least my daughter really likes the animals

### 4/5 — Cute little app for short-term entertainment

*2013-06-24*

My son really liked this app before he turned 2 (but now he's on to apps that are a little more advanced.) Good to keep a little one entertained when standing in line or waiting at a restaurant. All of the peek-a-boo apps are basically the same, but with different scenes/animals. Would also highly recommend the Duck-Duck-Moose apps if your toddler is ready for more educational apps.

### 2/5 — PeekaBoo Wild

*2013-03-12, version 2.0.2*

Not impressed.  The chosen animals in the wild could have been more familiar animals that kids would become accustomed to.  My grandson love peekaboo barn and I would like to upgrade that one to see more animals come out of the barn.

### 1/5 — Fix logo

*2024-11-01, version 3.0.2*

I find these 🟦 things very interesting to look at Please delete them and let them move in the files Cause they added this in the peekaboo barn files developer response that’s stupid you commented on your Files

### 1/5 — Where is support? Where's Peekaboo Farm Day?

*2021-12-21, version 3.0.2*

Where is support? Where is Peekaboo Farm Day?

### 1/5 — App not working

*2021-02-24, version 3.0.2*

The app isn’t opening up. It is just staying on a white screen. I don’t see where I can contact someone regarding this matter.

### 1/5 — Horrible charicatures

*2017-01-07, version 3.0.2*

We used to love these apps.  My visually impaired son loved the animals. They were changed long ago to dumb caricatures that don't remotely resemble what they used to look like. Bugged out eyes and deformed bodies that are hard to make out in the busy background. Horrible design for kids with special needs. They never should have messed with the app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed in the animation changes

*2016-10-09, version 2.0.2*

I don't plan to update this app anymore.  We have all the peekaboo apps; Barn, wild, forest.  We loved the old animations from about five years ago.  But now they update each app and destroy the eyes.  Instead of having normal eyes with color, the animals now have eyes too big for their heads & dilated pupils.  :(   They all look like they are on drugs.

### 1/5 — No sound!!!

*2016-09-06, version 3.0.0*

Can you fix the sound please?

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-09-04, version 3.0.0*

I was excited about the update to this game, but it crashes after the zebra every time.

### 1/5 — NO SOUND

*2016-09-04, version 3.0.0*

We love Peekaboo Barn, but this one has NO SOUND!  I've tried everything.  Waste of $2

### 1/5 — Shut Down Problem

*2016-09-03, version 3.0.0*

Love the peek a boo barn. The peek a boo wild shuts down after looking at three animals - will upgrade to five stars once bug is fixed.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time you get to the Zebra.

*2016-09-02*

It has crashed every time we get to the Zebra just after the voice says Zebra.

### 5/5 — Family favorite

*2025-06-15*

My grandkids love this series for the simple and rewarding mechanics! This one was a fun little addition!

### 5/5 — Interactive, educational and fun

*2025-06-06*

This is a great interactive experience for the little ones. It helps them identify animals and the words too. When we read a book now, the children point out the words they saw in the game! Fantastic reinforcement.

### 5/5 — Please add a South America pack!

*2023-02-08, version 3.0.2*

1-Amazon rainforest
Sloth
Capuchin
Jaguar
Tapir
2-peru
Coati
Llama
Armadillo 
Chinchilla

### 5/5 — My daughter loves this

*2017-04-30, version 3.0.2*

I was hoping something like this would come out. She loves it and I like it too! Pretty graphics, fun variety. Highly recommend for toddlers.

### 5/5 — Update is adorable and fun

*2017-02-17, version 3.0.2*

My toddler plays this all the time and squealed with delight at the new update. Many more animals and places. Thanks & great job!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-01-29, version 3.0.2*

My 12 month old loves this game!!! He really likes how the shapes appear when he touches the screen!

### 5/5 — Sound works! Just don't turn phone ringer off.

*2016-09-11*

Originally I posted "Great pictures, locations and animals but NO sound?" After reading the update notes I tried the app again this time after turning my phone ringer on (from mute) and the sound works great!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2015-07-19*

My young baby girl loves this app and the farm version. Great visuals and easy for her to use.

### 5/5 — Great for babies!

*2014-08-11*

My 10 month old loves this game. We have this one and Peekaboo Barn; I'd recommend either one. 

Lots of animals to keep it exciting for little ones, and it's in a great format that will keep my little guy entertained when I need to get something done in a hurry. Definitely worth buying if you have a child under 2!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2012-11-30, version 2.0.2*

We have many if their apps and love them. I like that you can choose the kids voice or adult. The adult voice is a better model but my son likes the kids voice better.
