But it still has to download, don’t download it for today! ### 4/5 — No rewards *2021-01-24* The game was awesome. The only problem is that when you get all of the medals you don’t get ANY prizes. Sooo yeah. ### 2/5 — Not impressed *2020-04-17* I paid for this app for my little boy and it froze shortly after I downloaded it and hasn’t worked properly since. Really disappointed as I expected more ### 3/5 — iPad version doesn’t properly work *2018-02-28* Great game, my 4 year old loves it but has to play on the iPhone as his favourite game ‘Whoosh they were gone’ freezes on the initial star screen with iPad and won’t work so the game has to be rebooted. ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-11-15, version 1.0.3* Don't waste your money. App just shows a black screen. ### 1/5 — App does NOT work. *2015-10-30* Screen goes black after the splash screen, nothing else happens after that. Did a hard reset and still doesn't work. Will have to get a refund on this one. ### 3/5 — C.. Patton *2015-09-17* Very unhappy to have paid for an app that does less than many free apps.....love the story, enjoy the app BUT seriously overpriced. It should be free.... ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2015-09-10* App worked fine for a couple of days & then stopped working. Screen opens & then goes black. Games are disappointing. ### 1/5 — Broken app blank screen *2015-05-07, version 1.0.3* Since upgrading to iOS 8.3 app doesn't load only see a blank screen. Please fix my daughter is upset she can't play it! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2015-05-04, version 1.0.3* Was a great game. But now all we get is a black screen. Please sort ### 1/5 — Does not open *2015-03-28* Was sooooo looking forward to playing this with my little one...but when you try to open the game on the iPad it does not work. I get a black screen ! ### 1/5 — App doesn't load *2015-03-25* Doesn't open beyond black screen. No specific link to actual support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Schwarzer Bildschirm *2019-08-04* Startet schon seit Wochen nicht mehr. Es erscheint nur noch ein schwarzer Bildschirm. Rausgeschmissenes Geld. ### 1/5 — Can’t even get to load *2018-10-01* Won’t even load on my iPhone. Cannot get app support. A complete waste of money. ### 1/5 — Since iOS 11 upgrade won’t work *2017-09-23* The game has worked perfectly for 1 year. Today it kept on saying it needed the update so I installed it. Now it’s just a black screen. I see I’m not the only person that this has happened to. BAFTA nominated you would expect it to be first class. VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I will be now deleting it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-03-27* I found this a lot of money to pay for an app that only worked for a couple of months. My iPad is fully updated so the problem is not on my end. Please fix it, it has been weeks if not months since this app worked!!! ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr *2016-11-21* Nach dem Starten schwarzer Bildschirm:-( ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-11-04* Apple should remove ### 1/5 — Worked once now won't load *2016-10-14* Black screen when open on iPad mini. Even worse than Gruffalo games app by same company - at least that makes the loading / company screen before freezing! ### 1/5 — No longer works on iPad. Do not buy this game. *2016-07-09* No updates for a long time and so no fix ### 1/5 — Miss *2016-04-08, version 1.0.3* Very poor. Doesn't work since update!!! ### 1/5 — Black screen *2016-03-19* I get the black screen. Why? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Waifs *2022-12-31* I love your game and it is my Favorite ### 5/5 — I love room on the broom *2022-05-31* Really amazed (entertaining) ### 5/5 — Beautiful and fun *2022-02-11* My 7 year old enjoyed the different activities in the game. The pictures and sounds are really pleasant and not annoying. A fun and cute app to enjoy after reading the book. ### 5/5 — Hat meine Kleinen sehr gut gefallen (7 Jahre) *2021-01-02* .... ### 5/5 — Meine Kinder lieben es! *2017-07-22* Perfekt für unterwegs. ### 5/5 — Great Support, Great App *2016-11-04* The app wouldn't open on my iPad (just a blank screen). I sent an email to tech support who responded very very quickly with the fix. Basically, you need to delete the app, reboot your iPad then reload the app. You also need at least 1gb free space on your iPad. FANTASTIC support and FANTASTIC app. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2015-02-28, version 1.0.3* Great fun ### 5/5 — Fun to play with my grandkids! *2015-02-16* My 3,4, and 6 yr old grandkids like to play these games-- especially the Dragon Eats Fries and the Iggity Ziggity Zaggety Zoom with stars that you can arrange and change colors and then watch the witch on her broom zoom through the pattern of stars you've placed in the sky. Giggles galore! They also love earning bronze, silver and gold medals. We take turns with the searching games. We loved both the book and the video before finding these games. ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-12-30, version 1.0.3* Our 15 month old loves this game! ### 5/5 — What happened? *2014-12-29* My kids and I absolutely loved this app until it stopped working a few weeks ago, what gives? Hopefully there is an update on the way to fix the glitch. The app opens and then goes black. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
