My little girl was struggling to poo on the potty and after watching this she was much happier talking about poo, and two days later she managed her very first poo on the potty! Really recommend this to others who might be struggling on their potty training journey. We downloaded it on the iPad as the app didn’t work properly on my phone as it was too small a screen. ### 3/5 — Amazing tool - apple version needs updating *2023-03-11* The story is amazing and I’ve had brilliant results with my kids. However the apple version has always been somewhat glitchy, now it’s not really working well at all. ### 3/5 — Words are off screen and log doesn’t work *2023-02-21* As other reviews have stated, it’s a good story and is helping my son to understand a little more. The thing that lets the app down is that the words go off the screen each side and the log is not accessible as you enter the number answer to the sum but then there is no way to confirm or press enter. Hopefully this will get rectified with an update. ### 4/5 — Lovely message although app glitch *2023-01-02* Really lovely video and thank you to the developers for making it. The app doesn’t quite run right though with the text off the screen and as the other review says, you type the numerical answer to the sim but can’t access the log - I wonder if there’s a button that’s also off the page to move to the log…? It feels like the page is zoomed in throughout the app, but there’s no way to zoom out. ### 3/5 — Great story but doesn’t fit screen properly *2022-10-05* I am using an iPhone and half the writing is cutting off, you can’t turn it to be landscape either so you can’t read it properly and some of the pictures aren’t showing ### 2/5 — Cute but didn’t work for us *2022-05-16* We’ve been using this app for almost a year now and our toddler still refuses to poo on the toilet. She enjoys the story and pressing the buttons but unfortunately it did not work for us. ### 3/5 — Story good but no interaction or access to blog *2022-04-26* My daughter enjoys the story and although is yet to poo on the toilet she is much more interested in trying to so I think that will come soon. So app is doing its job but there’s a glitch in the app. I tried to access the log (there’s a pun in there somewhere, ha!) and I typed the numerical access answer to get in but it doesn’t take you to the next page/give you access. I thought maybe you could log when the children succeed in a sticker chart kind of way but still not sure what the log does and there’s no way to report this directly as all options lead you to the NHS website with no link specific to feedback for this app. Otherwise I can’t comment further on the app success with my daughter but will update this review if it helps her. ### 4/5 — NEEDS AN UPDATE *2022-04-25* Good app with a great message behind it but on an iPhone half the words are cut off the screen! You can’t see half the story and you can’t press enter on the ‘log’. Still works great as you can hear it all but being able to see all the words would make it much bettaa. ### 3/5 — Latest update issues *2022-03-10* This has been great support for toilet training but the recent update has made the text and pictures too big for my screen (iPhone 12 mini on latest iOS) ### 3/5 — No sound *2021-12-21* No sound ### 2/5 — Continued sound issues *2021-10-28, version 2.1.0* Old reviews note that sound won’t play on the phone but will play on the tablet. ### 3/5 — Sooooo what is this *2021-09-21* I was being funny by searching poopoo but I did not notice that I will find this um 3 star ### 4/5 — If no sound check silent mode *2021-07-13, version 2.1.0* For those saying you don’t have sound, neither did I until I turned off my phone’s silent mode. Then, the story began to play. Y’all should check that. Coming from an adult perspective, the story is whack, the sound effects are over the top, and the storytelling audio could’ve been easily improved with a simple mic. But from the kid’s perspective, it’s freaking hilarious and that’s what matters. My favorite part is when he talks about the poo needing to burp and I can sometimes be smelly. A clever and funny way to break the tension of fighting with your kid about going poo poo on the potty ### 2/5 — No sound *2021-04-10* Definitely should be sound as a friend told me about the app- but no sound now ### 2/5 — No sounds *2021-03-28* If the sound worked, would be soooooo much better. ### 3/5 — App stopped working *2021-02-24* It was great the first time I used it but now the sound won’t work and I can’t access the diary. It’s such a shame as my son loved the story the first time we listened to it but got frustrated that there was no sound the second time we opened the app. I’ve tried deleting and downloading again but same issues. It’s not clear when you follow the link how to contact them for help either. Huge shame :( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too big for screen *2024-07-11* The pictures extend beyond the screen. Also tried using the log (pun intended?) and there was no way to hit enter after answering the simple math question. ### 1/5 — Unusable! *2023-08-16* Text doesn't even fit the screen! Using an iPhone 12 so shouldn't be a problem on my end. Needs major fixing. ### 1/5 — What *2023-07-26* This game is the worst and stupidest poo game I have ever seen in fact it’s so bad I want to let out the whole poo land onto that phone after witnessing this horrible crazy disgusting and weirdly inappropriate pictures please delete or I will do it for you now send this poo to the loo bc this game is nasty and deserves to go to poo land if I see this game one more time I will flush myself down the toilet even if I end up seeing poop land this is disgusting ### 1/5 — 0/10 GAME😡 *2023-07-10* WHEM MY 6 YEAR OLD SON READ THIS TOLIET HE POOPED ON HIS IPAD😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — I THOUGHT THIS GAME WAS A MINI GAME OF FLUSHING A POO DOWN A TOILET *2023-03-18* I AM OUTRAGED😡😡😡😡 THAT THIS GAME HAS THE AUDACITY 😡😡TO MAKE ME THINK ITS A FUN LIL MINI GAME IT IS TERRIBLE😡 AND NOW EACH TIME I GO TO THE TOILET I THINK OF MY poo wanting to go back home😭😢🥺😢😢🥺😢😢🥺🥺😭😭🥺 ### 1/5 — No sound *2022-07-07* There’s no sound. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2021-07-10* This game is totally misleading too people with Poo phobia it’s just so weird like they are making fun out of Poland and naming. it “Pooland” at that start when I started playing it I sniffed something and I smelt something rather whiffy my grandfather has a poo phobia and this is not helping and now my grandfather has Poo dimensia and now my grandfather has exploded because of all the poo stuck in his body RIP grandfather ### 1/5 — No sound. *2021-05-10* No sound and no troubleshooting info ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2021-01-13* The sound worked the first time and now doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-06-02* I have a very interested 3.5 yr old but there is No sound on this app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So funny! *2024-07-26* This story is so funny and poo's voice is sooo funny😂 why does poo hide in his bum when i was baby siting little cute friends of mine we where doing silly stuff and i got this app and we laughed so hard😂😂😂😂 ### 5/5 — Real help *2023-02-07, version 2.1.1* This was an amazing app that really helped us, it’s sad to see the number of poor scores because people don’t know how to work technology. Sound works perfectly on phone and app as long as you take it off mute mode 🙄🙄🙄 ### 5/5 — Viewing problem iPhone 13 *2022-12-29* This is a wonderful story but it doesn’t fit on the screen properly and most of the words and pictures are cut off. Is there a fix for this? ### 5/5 — Poo Land is an inspirational and emotional rollercoaster *2022-11-01* I believe the poo land deserves an award, it made me cry, it made my haha and I felt that the characters are lovable and interesting, please give the holy text a read,you won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2022-07-02* I (I mean my children) LOVE this game. Perfect bed stories or us (uhh uhhh I mean them haha) ### 5/5 — Simple and Easy *2021-09-16, version 2.1.0* This app has really helped my 2.5 year old son have a visual aid and what the steps are! The story is so easy and simple for him to understand. He loves to hear the different sounds and understand his own cues because of Ollie. He will even say “mommy I pooped like Ollie”. ### 5/5 — Make a second one *2020-11-07* I really enjoy this, i’m 12, no, i’m not autistic, i’m just a stupid retard, but make a second one please. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Life changing 🤩 *2020-10-23* I’m a 47 years old man and I have finally been graced with the knowledge of how to poo. Never before did I know of the wonders of Pooland and that I have brown organisms living inside of me. Although that does bring me unimaginable fear, I now feel prepared! Thank you kindly, Regards, Kev ### 5/5 — Help your kid crap, download this app! *2020-05-08* It worked for us! Our child did not want to poop on the toilet. After watching this app for many times over a week, suddenly, a poop appeared in the toilet. And now he’s so proud! ### 5/5 — Wasn’t expecting that *2020-04-20* My 4 year old has been toilet trained for over a year but has still been using “poo nappies” (/diapers) the WHOLE TIME. A friend mentioned this app. Showed it to the kid, doubtful. He watched it twice in a row, told me I could dump his poo from his nappy in the toilet. Told him smushed poo doesn’t work. Later he announced he was going to poo in the toilet! Has been doing so for a few days now! Promises he’s not going back to poo nappies. Gobsmacked! 5 stars! 💩💩💩💩💩 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
