### 4/5 — Get it

*2018-12-04*

It is fun I guess

### 4/5 — There's a learning curve but it's fine

*2017-09-17*

The game has a lot of "filler" games with no real point or specific learning games. They do all teach basic technology interface, recognition, and memorization skills. 

The kiddo likes it 😜

### 5/5 — Used for both kids

*2017-06-25*

My oldest son played with it for four years. My 7month old loves it and he will more than likely play with it for a few years.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!

*2017-04-26, version 6.1*

My grandson goes to this app often.  He is 20 months old and is able to go to all the games easily.  Thanks for keeping him entertained.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-04-01*

This is an awesome App. The only thing I would like to see changed is the ability to respond to multiple touches ....if baby is holding the phone by the edge and his finger touches the screen all other functions stop working....really? Come on developers...

### 5/5 — Saluditos

*2016-12-25, version 6.1*

Muchas gracias me encanta la apelación es mucha ayuda para mí nietecito

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-12-06, version 6.1*

The app is wonderful, works great!

### 5/5 — Worked like a charm!

*2016-10-04*

I introduced this game to my 2 yr old granddaughter when she was getting antsy in a restaurant. It occupied her enough to allow for 30 minutes of uninterrupted adult conversation. The adults were distracted by how interested the baby was!  Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2016-09-17, version 5.9*

This app is so very good, having four young grandchildren it gets plenty of use. They love it.  Lots to keep them occupied and educational too.

### 4/5 — Overall a good app

*2016-05-18*

My little one enjoys poking around with this whenever we give it to her. Most of the mini games and activities included are educational in some way, which is the only reason we're really ok letting her play with it at this point.

There are some things we don't like, namely the touch responsiveness overall. It's too difficult to press an on screen button because of a finger on the screen somewhere else. That's usually more of a problem on the phone version, but having multitouch would be a huge improvement!

The "more apps" button. She loves that octopus, so tapping it two times to open the list is the first thing she does! 

Another thing we're not a big fan of is some of the pronunciation in the new songs section. Saying "da" instead of "the" bugs us. 

Otherwise thanks for the creative app!

### 5/5 — This app is a lifesaver at times!

*2016-03-27, version 5.8*

Gotta love the person who gave one star... to tell us that this app is not for four-year-old. No kidding! Yes this app is for a toddler ages one through three! This app is great for times when you're waiting in your toddler is getting anCy! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2016-03-24, version 5.8*

Grandkids love this app. So much to learn!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2016-03-01, version 5.8*

My boys (ages 2&4) insist on playing on this app every single day. Definitely worth the $3.99

### 5/5 — D

*2015-12-30, version 5.7*

Amazing!!

### 4/5 — What happened to the fruit slicing game?😠

*2015-09-05, version 5.7*

My baby nephew loves this game. Especially the fruit slicing game. I purchased the full version just so he can play that game within accidentally hitting the ads. But I open the app and the game is gone. WHAT??!! Ugh. Not cool at all!

### 3/5 — Not the same as free version

*2015-09-01, version 5.7*

Not the same as the free version, missing our favourite game, the fruit chopping game. Please add it into the pack. The extra games you get for paying are quite boring for my 20month old son.

### 3/5 — Kid etiquette

*2015-07-18, version 5.7*

Great distraction app that keeps the child busy for a while but what type of sense does it make to keep having this rate me box pop up while they're playing the app? Then have the nerve to make you tap an octopus four times to actually complete the rating. -_-

### 4/5 — Good App

*2015-07-08, version 5.7*

2 year old loves this app.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it!

*2018-11-12*

Used to love this app but now it’s glitchy and we cannot get the sound to work. Also, if your child accidentally deletes it, you have to rebuy the app. Definitely better apps out there.

### 1/5 — Sound

*2018-07-09*

Spent the $3.99 and followed all  the directions to get sound to work.... still no sound. Disappointed

### 1/5 — Kids Games Club by Tab tale

*2014-05-21, version 5.7*

Most boring app for my 3 yr old grandson, he passed this level a long time ago.

### 1/5 — Too many links to the App Store

*2013-11-15, version 5.7*

This used to be perfect for my child.

Now she ends up in the App Store every 2 minutes. This is a paid app that is now more trouble that it's worth

### 1/5 — HIGHLY UPSET

*2013-10-31*

I am being charged 3.99 twice just for the app? I don't understand why? I paid for the full version. It only says it's 3.99 and yet I got double charged for all the extra apps? I never saw anywhere that I would be charged so much for an app for my 1 year old daughter. I am requesting a refund. Already talked to Apple app support but I am also email this app and I have yet to see a response from them.

### 1/5 — Always ads

*2013-06-16, version 5.1*

Even if you pay, they show ads of their other games at the beginning. Very annoying!

### 1/5 — Not for ages 4+

*2013-01-23, version 4.1*

This app is more geared toward a 1+.  Great app for the RIGHT audience

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2013-01-21, version 4.1*

Can't get my sound to work anymore. How is my 19month old supposed to stay entertained with no sound. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-10-19, version 4.1*

Can I please have a refund. I do not like this app and my 3 year old is bored.!.

### 2/5 — Médio

*2012-11-17*

Comprei para o meu filho de 5anos achando que tinha som mas o jogo é mudo...alguém sabe dizer se é assim msm ou se o meu veio com defeito?e onde reclamar?

### 5/5 — I absolutely love it.

*2021-12-31, version 6.8.0*

I have been in attempt to distract myself from boredom, to distract my self from this empty and pointless world. This game has single handedly cured my depression. I’m genuinely not even pulling your leg. I quite literally walked into my therapists office and she looked at me and said, “phone for play is the medicine for you!” I recently bought the full version and I am absolutely blown away from the amazing graphics, interesting and interactive games and overall layout. This game is absolutely amazing. If you are suffering from things I was once suffering from, please, play this game. You will NOT regret it. 
- Yours Truly, Damien.
