### 4/5 — Sound

*2013-07-09*

A little sound would be an improvement! It has sound on the tv show, otherwise a good app!

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2013-06-08*

After the new update this app is now working as it should!
My toddler has delayed speech and this is quite a handy app to use to try and build his vocabulary without overwhelming him with flash cards and by using things around him that he can recognise.

### 1/5 — Robbed

*2014-04-14*

What an absolute load rubbish! Whoever came up with this is laughing all the way to the bank. Are there no regulations to stop apps which are so obviously a total rip off?! Should be an option for no star rating!

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2014-03-22*

Just been robbed of 69p my 18month old son was looking forward to playing along with mr tumbles , do not buy its a waste of money you basically press on the colour and it reveals a pic or you can up load your own ?! What a waste of time and money!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2014-01-17*

The description clearly states you can add your own photos but when I do this the screen goes blank!?! Come on guys get this fixed can't believe my 3 year old is expected to look for your 3 special things only! Very poor but the potential to be one of the best apps if kids can look for things in their own home (as you claim they can)

### 1/5 — Not too impressed!!!

*2013-09-13*

My littles ones love tumble tap but this has no sound and is not worth paying for - its seems quite pointless really - I wouldn't waste your money unless they drastically improve it!!! Very disappointing!!

### 1/5 — Terribly basic app

*2013-09-08*

Quite disappointed with this one. It's just three dots that have three poor default images behind them that you can replace with your own. Wow, must have taken some real development this one, but hey, if mugs like me buy it I guess they win in the end!

### 1/5 — Needs sound and ability to save more images

*2013-06-25*

Please put sound to this app. Could you also make it possible to save more images as 3 is far too limited when you have to keep setting new ones.

### 2/5 — Does what is says on the tin.

*2017-05-17*

The app does what it says. Very glad I only paid 99p but in my opinion still not worth it.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2017-01-16*

This app could be so much better !! My little boy loves mr tumble and I wanted to use the app to put my own picture of his brother behind the dots
This is easy to do , however the app won't allow you to centre the picture in the dot so you often get the picture you didn't want!!!! A very easy fix and would make this a much better app !!!

### 3/5 — Needs some music

*2013-07-25*

Great idea to imitate the Tumble Tapp. ChAnging the photos regularly keeps little ones interested or you can use it as part of a family adventure. But there is no music, just the photo reveal and it needs some kind of fanfare to make each reveal more special and closer to the real thing it imitates.

### 4/5 — My 3 year old loves it.

*2016-01-29*

Doesn't have loads of functions but you can add your own photos and for 79p it's great.  My boy loves playing Mr Tumble so he is absolutely thrilled with this.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2014-02-01*

What a brilliant tool to play with the little ones.  Taking photos of your own and then getting them to find them will keep them entertained easily.

### 5/5 — Just like a tumble tap

*2013-10-29*

This works perfectly and does exactly what the description says it will. My son loves Mr Tumble and this will be great when he's a little older for fun at home and especially for making trips out a bit more fun by looking for three special things. 

If you are looking for a tumble tap, this is the app for you. 

Finally, my 4 year old nephew thought it was absolutely amazing that I had a tumble tap. No story / music required. Just our imagination!!

### 5/5 — It's mysterious for my daugther

*2013-06-27*

I can have such fun with my daughter with this app, we have used it several times. Your children will have seen this on the tv, and now they can use it themselves!

### 5/5 — Mr

*2013-06-10*

First time we've bought a Mike Irving app... Our little boy loves guessing what's behind each colour and the ability to put pics of his favourite toys etc behind makes this app useable over and over again..

### 5/5 — Thumbs up!!

*2013-06-10*

The children are loving it, finding things around the house. 
Nice and simple, perfect for my little ones!

### 5/5 — Great application

*2013-06-09*

My son loves watching Justin (so do we! ) this made his day whe,n we found it, only thing missing from when you press the circles it should play a sound of some sort even a voice clip of Justin saying well done!  

Fingers crossed the developer reads these reviews and future versions have this option.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-06-08*

I bought this app as my daughter is obsessed with mr tumble and thought it was a great thing to get for her. It has defiantly lived up to mine and her expectations and more. I would defiantly recommended this to everyone.

### 4/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2014-05-09*

Previous angry reviewers clearly did not read the description properly. I bought this app before the name change and it was very clear in the description, what it was. There is no official 'Tumble Tap' app as used in Something Special on CBeebies, but this is pretty close.

 I agree that a reveal sound of some description would be good, and the ability to resize photos or choose the crop would be handy, since portrait photos are often unusable because heads are missing! 

Other than that, this is a great app. All you need is a toddler and an adult with just a little imagination...

### 4/5 — Tumble tap

*2013-08-06*

My kids love this but I really wish it had sounds with it.
