### 1/5 — Wouldn’t Download.

*2024-05-30, version 1.2.3*

Don’t Download.

### 1/5 — Is this some kind of joke?

*2024-04-21*

I got this a few days back and tried calling a number on it to see if it had any phone-like capabilities. Spoiler alert: there weren't any.

Tried to call a number, got a baby laughing, some malformed crayons, insecure rabbits, and the occasional scary clowns. I tried going to the help page for this, but the URL is not live.

If you want a makeshift phone application, there are other things out there. So don't get this malignant piece of software.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-08-15, version 1.2.3*

This app would be amazing but there is absolutely no sound! I’ve deleted and reinstalled this app, turned my phone on and off again and checked all the settings and still am unable to get sound for it. Given there’s a part where you can play music I’m not sure if this is a glitch or what? And I’m not sure what to do to rectify it.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-01-19, version 1.2.3*

Baby loves it but there’s no sound. What gives?

### 1/5 — Volume Issues

*2022-01-17, version 1.2.3*

Really want to love this app but sometimes the volume doesn’t work, or just stops working in the middle of play… makes for a very frustrating experience. App removed.

### 1/5 — Started off Fine but....

*2020-11-03, version 1.2.3*

I’ve had this on my iPad for a while and it was great. However when I tried downloading it on my phone, the sound wouldn’t work at all. And now the sound refuses to work on my iPad. I’ve tried restarting my phone and the iPad. Redownloading the app. Nothing works. The sound is just busted. Idk if they need to do a new update or something, but this app is pretty much useless now

### 1/5 — Problemas

*2018-10-18, version 1.2.3*

Tiene problemas con el volumen y le falta soporte en español

### 1/5 — Sin audio

*2018-08-28, version 1.2.3*

No se escucha nada. La app está totalmente muda.

### 1/5 — Languages

*2018-06-17, version 1.2.3*

I down loaded this app love the English language as my children speak it ! But I was looking to switch the app language to Spanish as I do on my television to give them that option to learn another language and on this application that wasn’t an option !! Disappointed besides that it’s wonderful for the children to learn with !

### 2/5 — Sound

*2026-03-26, version 1.2.3*
