### 4/5 — It’s good but....

*2020-06-08, version 1.8*

I need you to make an update to make kids to build what ever they want if you give me the update I will give you five stares thank you!

### 4/5 — Very simple

*2016-03-12, version 1.5*

Very simple controls. Bright colors and lots of sound effects.

### 2/5 — His least favorite saigo mini game

*2015-11-14, version 1.2*

They've gone through a few attempts to make this game better, but it's still just boring. My son will usually open it long enough to watch the video preview for a different game and maybe tinker around for a few seconds but this game needs a total overhaul

### 3/5 — Not what I expected

*2015-08-03, version 1.2*

This is a great app but it was not what I expected!

### 4/5 — Not the best game but

*2015-06-16, version 1.2*

It's honestly not as good as the other sago mini games, but we still like it. I'd say the top age for this app is 3, maybe 4 if they LOOOOVE tools. It's very, very simple and repetitive, but still cute and relaxing.

Unlike some other sago games, with this game, toddlers can mash nearly anywhere on the screen and still accomplish the goal.

### 4/5 — Like the idea....

*2015-05-16, version 1.2*

I like the idea of the app. Very happy about the update. Still feel like it's missing something. My son (2 years old) does all the work with making the pieces but doesn't actually get to put it together (kinda like a puzzle) or interact with it when it's complete (he keeps tapping on the character to try and get it to do something). He doesn't play with this game as long as the other sago mini games.

### 3/5 — Decent but repetitive

*2015-05-08, version 1.1*

My two year plays it for short periods of time.  He likes tools so he enjoys using the saw, drill, hammer, wrench and other tools.

### 3/5 — Disappointment

*2015-05-03, version 1.1*

Sorry to say, but this app fails to meet the standards of other Sago apps. It lacks the fun and creativity that we expect.

### 2/5 — This is Sago Mini?

*2015-04-24, version 1.1*

I have all the Sago Mini apps for my young grandchild, but this one just doesn't cut it. Like some others, I feel let down by this app. The kids need more control over their activities. This one's a little too monotonous. There are some cute ideas in it though, just not as versatile as some of the other Sago apps.

### 2/5 — I'm missing something too...

*2015-04-23, version 1.1*

I'm not sure why everyone else has such great reviews. My 2 year old was bored very quickly and there is really not a lot to do. Waste of money. I do like most of the other sago apps but this one just doesn't do it for us. I must be missing something too...

### 2/5 — Cute game but it's boring and not educational.

*2015-04-23, version 1.1*

The game is adorable with kittens and puppies other than being aesthetically pleasing to my 2-year old it's not very educational. As other parents have said, tasks are repetitive and drag an for far longer than my children's interest for them.

### 2/5 — Boring

*2015-04-22, version 1.1*

It's cute but all the games are same! Not much different. Even my 2 years old get bore after few game. Not worth this money.

### 1/5 — I must be missing something.

*2015-04-21, version 1.1*

I purchased this game for my three year old grandson after reading all the good reviews.  I'm thinking they must be fake.  He was totally bored with it after 10 minutes.  All you can do is virtually hammer a few nails, drill a few holes, twirl a wrench, and blow up tires.....again and again and again.  I can't believe I spent $2.99 on this. Someone please tell me what I am missing about this app.

### 1/5 — Projects don't work

*2017-05-08, version 1.7*

Great idea and the tools are so fun to tinker with it but half the app doesn't work. Can't get the projects to start.

**Developer response:** Hi there. Thanks so much for letting us know about this – we've logged this as a potential issue and will pass it on to our developers right away. Could you send us a message at support@sagomini.com and let us know when you're getting the bug, and what device you're using? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-09-17, version 1.6*

I thought it was weird that my 4 year old couldn't figure out this game as we have and love almost all the other sago mini games, but when he handed his iPad to me out of frustration I couldn't even figure it out. So you click on each tool and go through a boring repetitive series of sawing, hammering, sewing, etc. and then you find one of the characters standing in the yard with a tool and some building materials and no matter which way you swipe or tap the screen, NOTHING HAPPENS. is this a glitch? I want my money back. Make some more adventure games. Those are awesome. This one is a bust.

### 1/5 — Want a refund

*2016-01-29, version 1.5*

My granddaughter is 3 and played the whole app before the money came out of my account.

### 1/5 — Really Sago?

*2015-05-16, version 1.1*

Waste of money crap game.

### 1/5 — Ddd

*2015-04-30, version 1.1*

We own n love all the apps but this one is horifyingly boring as others said... My 3 yr old gave it aprox two mins of her time.. Big disappointment..but all the others r wonderful...wish I hAd my $ back on this one

### 1/5 — Sago Mini Tool Box

*2015-04-29, version 1.1*

Very Boring. Sorry I ordered it.

### 1/5 — Terribly Boring

*2015-04-28, version 1.1*

I don't understand a lot of the reviews. I think someone is getting paid to leave good reviews because this is a terrible application. Just awful! I read a lot of these reviews and they are like, "my so and so loves your games and they are so wonderful, blah, blah, blah..." Hardly anything about the actual app. I don't believe that a lot of these are actual reviews. I read about this app on USAToday and figured, since I hadn't bought my Granddaughter a game recently, I'll splurge and get this one. Less than ten minutes is all I got for the $2.99. She was so bored she actually asked if she had to play it. TERRIBLE! Drill a hole, hammer a nail, saw a log, over and over and over again... It drove me crazy watching the poor kid mess with it. You people should be ashamed turning out such crap! Every "game" is just about the same now, junk! Well, last bit of money you get from me! I won't ever buy another one of your apps again and folks, you shouldn't buy this junk either!

### 1/5 — Wish I read the reviews...

*2015-04-28, version 1.1*

My toddler has liked other Sago Mini apps but this one didn't cut it. Not much to keep his interest. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — did like the game

*2015-04-24, version 1.1*

stupid game and waste of money , teaches kids how to use iPhone with their little fingers rather than something useful …wish I could return it it should be free

### 1/5 — Lame

*2015-04-23, version 1.1*

Very repetitive. My kid hates the wrench part, so she shoves it into my hands to do whenever it comes up because you can't get out of it. She wants more saw.

### 5/5 — Great app! 👍👍👍👍

*2020-09-01, version 1.8*

Teaches kids how 2 build. Buy now!

### 5/5 — I love this!

*2020-06-06, version 1.8*

Ignore the review that said sago apps are junk. They are the best! I had this when I was younger, now I have world, and I still love these. Get this for your kid!

### 5/5 — SagoMini

*2016-02-20, version 1.5*

I have all the SagoMini apps for my four grandchildren aged one to nine. The creators have managed to capture the imagination of both girls and boys. I watch as the children choose their favourite character and laugh along with the activities. As an ex teacher I highly recommend every app in the Sago bundle.

### 5/5 — Great for tinkering toddlers (and up!)

*2015-04-20, version 1.1*

I work with children and every child I've given this game to cannot stop playing it. It's easy enough for young toddlers but still fun for 5 or 6 year olds. Keep 'm coming, Sago Sago!

### 5/5 — Sago is great!

*2015-04-19, version 1.1*

My 3-year-old is always so excited when a new game comes out. She loves the music that comes with each of the tools. The characters make her giggle. Another great game!

### 5/5 — Cute!

*2015-04-19, version 1.1*

My daughter loves all the SagoMini games and she absolutely loves this "construction game" as she calls it.  Good graphics and simple game play.
