The farm animals socialize, take care of each other and solve problems in a tranquil and calm setting. Play frisbee, have a picnic on the farm or visit a magical school through scenarios that your child can relate back to real life. There’s hours of play, quizzes, colorings, reading, puzzles and a whole lot of humor that keep the learning fun and interactive. Kids can easily relate to the scenarios thanks to the different personalities that the animal friends exemplify. In Peppy Pals, it’s “different is cool” and all emotions are allowed. The 16 relatable stories are accompanied with questions to discuss and quizzes that spark meaningful conversations between kids and adults.

Update the app and make it compatible with Family Sharing. I have cancelled my subscription. ### 5/5 — Child hood comes back *2023-08-26, version 2.030* I love this app this was my childhood it used to be my favorite the characters animation chiefs kiss.I was playing Kahoot and I saw I Peppy Pals quiz I was confused on what Peppy pals was so I’ll clicked on it and I freaked out. “I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS GAME FOR YEARS I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS CALLED I MISSED THE MUSIC AND THE STORYS!” One problem I already did everything can you add more stories they really entertain me for some reason even though I’m 13 😂 ### 1/5 — my son loved but it crashes CONSTANTLY *2022-01-29, version 2.025* My 3 yo, who is autistic, LOVED this app but it crashes constantly, resulting in tears and frustration. what a shame! ### 3/5 — Would be 5 stars except for the waiting “game” *2020-02-20, version 1.17* My 2 year old loves this game. But PLEASE get rid of the waiting game!!! WHAT is WITH the waiting “game” in between games where Reggie is chasing his tail on a screen with a white background and the other animals pop up! It’s boring, and literally goes on so long (sometimes 2-3 minutes) he loses interest and we switch to another game like Pinkfong.

These kids are 2 years old! ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-12-08, version 1.14* So fun ### 5/5 — it is perfect for my baby cosin he would love it *2019-11-21, version 1.13* Abubaker did not come he’s in USA I’m in California so he’s coming to April my mom said that he not coming so I’m waiting ### 5/5 — I love this game :) *2019-08-15, version 1.08* It actually make my heart warm!
