When this game updated, I didn’t know that you had pay for more letters, until my kid came up to me asking, “Mommy, what happened?” Then it showed that I ha TO BUY more letters. I loved this game at first, but now I’m not a big fan. ### 2/5 — 1.59Gb's !!!! *2016-04-01* This app is 3 times bigger than any other app I have. Even MS Word is only 433Mb. Surely some of the audio & graphics could have been optimised. If you are like me with only a few hundred Mb's available at any time on a 32Gb iPad, you may need to think twice about the resource requirements before purchasing. The app isn't all that great for the size. ### 4/5 — Fun for a while *2016-03-27* Good idea but rather boring after a while & ridiculous file size, over 1.5gb for a rather basic app. ### 5/5 — Cool App *2016-02-12, version 1.9.2* Lots of cool things to do in this app. Our kids love the squishing and the characters the most. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-02-11, version 1.9.1* App played and worked great on our retina iPad. Love the spring scene updates! ### 2/5 — Over 1.5GB is ridiculous for a children's app *2016-02-10* The developers need to find another method of getting content into the app without requiring users to download it all at once. Other than large games with high levels of graphic detail, there is almost no reason that any app should be 1.5GB in size. It just eats up people's space on their devices. ### 1/5 — Too big *2016-02-10, version 1.9.2* The size of this app alone makes it a bad experience. Why does an app have to be 1.59GB in size? I understand that children want everything all the time, but user experience is everything and that falls short. ### 2/5 — 1.5 gigs *2016-02-06, version 1.9.1* The letter tracing does not work as well as Writing Wizard by L'Escapadou, and it is almost as big as Barefoot World Atlas. Not worth it even for free, both in educational value and in space taken up. ### 4/5 — Why so big? *2016-02-04, version 1.9.1* I like that the app is free today, but what could possibly make an app like this 1.59GB? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads led my child to a browser *2025-11-16* Ads led my kid straight to Reddit. Thankfully I was nearby and noticed it, but seriously? Kids apps should have ads for other kids apps, NOT a portal straight to the open internet! Deleted this app right away. Tracing and sound didn’t work half the time anyway. ### 1/5 — Poor user experience *2024-12-03* I bought this app for my son because he love Play-Doh and ABC’s all of a sudden it’s full of ads on the bottom of the screen. He unsure how to avoid them and it has made for an unpleasant experience. Wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Beware of the ad’s even after purchasing *2024-10-07* My baby girl loves this app and we bought it thinking it wood remove the ad’s, but the ad’s stayed. Other than the ad’s she enjoys it but the ad’s are confusing to her and interrupt her play because it’s distracting. ### 1/5 — It stops working. *2024-03-30* You need to sort this game as my son likes it and has a meltdown cause it stops working half way through when you are trying to write the alphabet letters with the play dough. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-12-06, version 2.2* Paid to unlock game but game is still locked. Paid for nothing. Complete rip off. ### 1/5 — Date Problem *2022-09-25, version 2.2* The app is great and all, but to get more letters, it says to enter the birth year. I put it in and when I click enter, in doesn’t work. Could you please fix this. ### 1/5 — Don’t play anything from this creator *2022-06-27, version 2.2* The creator itself is an entire scam, this is 1 out of 2, or maybe just another, that’s free. And that’s only the good part about this game; it causes an extreme skyrocket in storage usage! 1.67 GB, if that was worth it, then I might as well have been the person to “prove” that wormholes exist! And that’s STILL a theory after almost 50 years! ### 1/5 — How do you pay to access all letters?? *2020-06-18, version 2.2* I can’t figure out on my iPad how to pay for the app so my daughter can access all the letters... The website for the app creator doesn’t seem to work either. Too bad because we enjoy this activity. It should be way more straightforward if you want my money! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-20, version 2.2* I downloaded but doesn’t work. Please let me know when you fix it ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!! *2016-07-13* APP DOES NOT LOAD!! BOUGHT FOR SONS IPAD AND WOULD NOT DOWNLOAD. TRIED TO DOWNLOAD ON MY IPAD AND SAME ISSUE. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I Love This New Version of “PLAY-DOH Create ABCs”! *2025-11-30* The letters and colours are great! ### 5/5 — PLAY DOH PROCURAR E DESBRAVAR *2025-10-15* Ririri ### 5/5 — A timeless classic *2025-04-23* Our classrooms use this and its always a hit. ### 5/5 — Fun handwriting and creative app *2024-05-27* Fun app filled with handwriting activities matching games, and some fun creative activities also. Love play doh and love this app! ### 5/5 — Useful and fun! *2024-05-27* A great app to teach kids the correct stroke order. The poems for each letter are very cute too. ### 5/5 — Unlocked those letters *2023-10-20, version 2.3* I need some one to unlocked upper and lowercase ### 5/5 — Hey *2020-12-08* Hey you can FaceTime right ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-09-19* This app is perfect for me. I love everything about it. The only problem is, when you choose the letter you want to make or match, the U is red when it's supposed to be white. And can we have lowercase letters in the Create and Share, to? ### 5/5 — PlayDoh at its BEST!!! *2016-02-14, version 1.9.2* We love this app! All the benefits of Playdoh without the mess! My daughter spends hours tracing her letters and making playdoh pictures in the create and share area. The cute rhymes for each letter and the matching game is a nice added touch. ### 5/5 — Love Play-Doh! *2016-02-12, version 1.9.2* This is a really great app to take on the go. It has so much to do and our kids love the different activities and writing elements. The fun little play doh guys are also pretty funny. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
