Make sure phone is off silent to work sound. Two backgrounds to move the puffin rock characters around and two songs to listen to. ### 2/5 — Sounds goes off. Can’t get back. *2022-11-20* It worked a few times and then the sound stopped working. Can we please fix this issue. ### 4/5 — Take off silent *2022-06-05* It works really well just make sure your phone or iPad isn’t on silent. ### 3/5 — my daughter loves the app *2020-10-02* we love the app but we get frustrated that sometimes the sound does not work when you open the app. it's a sometimes app and the only app i've payed for ever ### 1/5 — No Sound *2020-07-24* There’s no sound. I was hoping this would be music clips from the show. ### 1/5 — No music *2020-06-27* No music / sound on a music based game. ### 1/5 — No Sound! *2020-05-01* I have an iPhone X and there is no sound. My son loves puffin rock but this app is useless without the sound! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-03-10* I thought this would be a lovely music game for my son who loves puffin rock ... it’s crap you love the charters around the screen and they make little 2 second noises that’s it’s nothing else to the game at all really disappointed ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-11-28, version 1.0.5* I also have no sound. Would love an update that includes sound! 🤐 ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-11-18, version 1.0.5* App has no sound. This is problematic to say the least for a music app ### 1/5 — No Sound *2019-10-04* Please fix bug ... we need sound... we paid for this ap.... we love Puffin Rock ! ### 3/5 — Works in iOS 13 on iPhone XR *2019-10-03* This works on iOS 13 on my iPhone XR just fine, and is an amusing little thing. However, it’s exceptionally limited in that it only has two scenes to select from. From a UX perspective it could also use a little work as it takes about ten seconds to switch between the two different scenes, which is a little excessive. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2019-06-04, version 1.0.5* This is a very confusing app - there’s no menu you are dropped into the first scene without any instructions. You click on four things and nothing really happens except hysterical laughing from the characters. No opening titles or tv theme. Second game has four clams that make pretty much the same sound. The TV show is amazing this app seems rushed. ### 1/5 — No idea what this app is *2019-05-06* I just wasted £1.99 on this thinking it would play the music / be a fun thing to play in front of my baby to entertain her as she loves the show so much. There’s no menu / no instructions / literally it does nothing and not even any music ? ### 1/5 — No Sound *2018-11-02, version 1.0.5* This was a waste of money, please fix this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No sound *2026-03-04* Music has no sound ### 1/5 — Cute but doesn’t work *2025-12-13* No sound while playing.. becomes pointless ### 1/5 — No sound *2025-05-28* There is no music playing for some reason ### 1/5 — Don’t buy! *2022-09-21* It doesn’t have any sound. ### 1/5 — No sound! *2021-09-03* No sound ### 1/5 — Sound issues *2021-06-20, version 1.0.5* I should’ve read other reviews before downloading, but my daughter loves the show and I got ahead of myself. The sound on the app only works now and then. Most of the time when I open it, there’s no sound at all — not ideal for an app that’s only real purpose is making music… ### 1/5 — No sound! *2020-12-23* Disappointed in the developers of this app for not fixing any problems with it...such as the complete lack of sound...for an app that’s all about making music. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-10-29* Wasted $2.99, no sound. Looks like it would be cute to play but sadly cannot hear anything. ### 1/5 — No sound :( *2020-08-22, version 1.0.5* Was super excited about this app because my daughter loves the show. But there is no sound ### 1/5 — No sound! *2020-08-10* There’s no sound at all on the entire app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Calming Game/Background Music *2025-09-19* Sounds does work - please turn on the sound on your phone and take it off of the silent mode, Great interactions with the characters in the game. ### 5/5 — Simple but brilliant app for Puffin Rock lovers *2020-09-14* I’m baffled by the negative reviews for this app. It’s a simple app in terms of features, yes, but it’s still very well designed and perfect for 2-4 year olds that love Puffin Rock and have a strong aptitude for music. The app’s product description accurately describes it - within each of the two scenes, you can create a myriad of sound combinations by moving the 5 characters (as well as tapping on 4 mushrooms or 4 shells) to create a custom version of the song. When I first downloaded it for my 3.5 year old, we walked through it together, object by object, and noticed how each tiny change affected the overall sound. It is so neat and truly captures the unique sounds and individual personalities of the show. My daughter loves it and I have lots of fun with it as well. [Important side note: many reviewers complained about this app having no sound. Turn your volume switch on your iPhone on! This is the setting that determines on/off sound for this app.] ### 5/5 — Simple app, works well *2020-08-24* Took my 4 year old and me not very long to work out you move the characters about to change the music. You can change some other objects to change the beats. Its that simple. Everything looks true to the tv show and characters are well animated and original voices (laughter) used. In all, we enjoyed this app. ### 5/5 — Beautifull animation! *2020-02-12, version 1.0.5* Visually stunning, simple but entertaining app, fully working. ### 5/5 — Works for me! Kids love it... *2019-12-20* Downloaded after watching on Netflix. There are only two musicical environments, but all the animations and audio is authentic to the style of the show. Great app for any kids who are a fan of the show. No updates for a couple years - hope there’s a chance with the series streaming online. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2018-04-24, version 1.0.5* What a beautiful, simple little app for little minds. My daughter loves composing her favourite mixes of the lovely Puffin Rock music. Just a wonderful idea, would love some more settings/themes but overall a lovely way to introduce kids to music and composition! Bravo! ### 5/5 — Sound works and graphics are great *2017-08-19, version 1.0.4* I think this app is super cute. My daughter is very young, so the ease of moving the characters around is really entertaining enough for her. The sound works just fine. We love the Puffin Rock music. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-09-13* Really great app - would definitely reccomend! ### 5/5 — Very entertaining *2016-08-24* This app is great for the kids; it keeps them entertained for longer than most things! We were able to share the music to Facebook easily - their friend love the music they've created as much as we do. ### 5/5 — Wowzers *2016-08-24* Had so much fun making music with Oona and Baba! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
