It would also be extremely helpful to sort by watched/unwatched, group by game, etc. ### 3/5 — Bring back Maya the bee on sensical *2026-03-29, version 1.3.3* It’s removed ### 3/5 — idk what to write but hear me out on my review *2025-12-11, version 1.3.2* the ads are the same its mcdonald ads seriously please add different ads ### 3/5 — Good but no Chromecast *2025-10-24, version 1.3.2* Please add chromecast support in addition to Airplay! It’s much safer and healthier to stream content to a TV in a communal space than to give a child a handheld device. ### 3/5 — App won’t open *2025-09-26, version 1.3.2* It is a great app love it for my kids but now app won’t open on our phones or iPad ### 4/5 — Why I rate it a 4 *2025-06-07* I love the videos…but when I was trying to watch slick slime Sam I couldn’t see the videos and all 6 sessions were the same thing because it is my favorite thing to watch on sensical so I would like you to fix that. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review — we're really glad you love watching Sensical and that Slick Slime Sam is a favorite! We just double-checked, and all available seasons of Slick Slime Sam should be showing up and ready to watch. If you’re still seeing duplicates or having trouble accessing episodes, try closing and reopening the app or updating to the latest version. And feel free to reach out to us at support@sensical.tv so we can help directly. Thanks again for watching! ### 4/5 — Read decolpers positive beg you *2024-10-06* So I just want to say good job three quick thing can you make a search bar can you add all the leah ashes and can you add Leah Ashley another one leah ashe channel that it I only really care about the Leah ashe part **Developer response:** We are so happy you are enjoying Sensical! Adding search is on our product roadmap - we are exploring how best to design to accommodate our preschool users who don't yet read/write all the way to our savviest older users - like yourself! In the meantime, a temporary workaround, - go to the "explore" tab (accessed by clicking on the treasure chest) - you will find an alphabetical listing of our shows (plus a list of topics!) - click on Leah Ashe and you can access all of her awesome videos! We appreciate your feedback. Thank you. ### 3/5 — No casting *2024-05-22, version 1.2.8* I would love it but there’s no option to cast to a TV ### 2/5 — This app WAS great *2024-02-11* Whatever update just took place please undo it or fix the bugs. My kids love this app we used it every night and stream the live channel from our smart TV regularly but now they are unable to get the shows the enjoy. Thomas is no longer listed and I can’t get anything to steam now since the app updated. Help!!!!!

Best, Sensical Support ### 5/5 — Needs more shows *2024-01-02, version 1.2.1* Please add more shows! ### 4/5 — Please offer an ad-free subscription *2023-10-29* I very much enjoy the concept of Sensical and it has proved to be quite educational for my child. He loves the different videos that are available. One thing I enjoyed about the service for the longest time was that it didn’t have any third-party advertisements. Any ad breaks there were only served to promote other shows that were available on the Sensical service. I had no problem with that. Recently I’ve noticed there are now advertisements for Barbie products and Toyota vehicles (aka third-party advertisements). I would very much like a paid option for Sensical to remove this type of content. **Developer response:** Hi Brandon, we’re thrilled to hear that you and your child enjoy using Sensical. We have some good news! We just launched a subscription-based version of Sensical through Amazon Prime Video Channels that is ad-free! You can subscribe through Amazon, by searching "Sensical" or try a 7-day free trial to start. ### 2/5 — Pls fix *2023-07-09, version 1.1.7* I open up the app I choose what age and once it gets to the white screen it kicks me out of the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Whyyyy *2026-07-27, version 1.3.5* Why did you remove hyper from Sensical it makes me so mad. Makes me wanna scream. Why would you ever do this? Please please please please add him back. ### 1/5 — Hard to log into and create account and can’t work *2026-01-06, version 1.3.2* I can’t login on this app I am sad ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-01-25, version 1.3.1* Max Steel, was in fact, not on here. ### 1/5 — Preston more like Preston *2025-01-12, version 1.3.1* Sensical has no Preston playz ### 1/5 — Hidden videos behind education episodes *2024-04-23, version 1.2.6* People talking about being queer while my 6 year old watched a video on the USA Capitals. How does that even happen? I loved this app but now they’re hiding stuff like this behind educational videos. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — There needs to be an option to remove ads. *2023-05-25, version 1.1.5* Give me an option to disable adds. All it does is infuriate my child. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on 6S 13.1.2 *2022-07-30, version 1.0.14* Just sits with a spinner at the bottom when it gets to the green screen with logo. ### 2/5 — Worst app ever *2025-06-11, version 1.3.2* Sensical is great but nothing works even live tv. But video's are working but if i want more videos of the same channel it does not work I hope you can fix it soon. ### 2/5 — Unable to block shows *2025-03-21* I thought this app would be great until I discovered that every single show that I blocked, because I didn’t want my child having access to them, would reappear on the Home Screen after the app was excited. I’ve tried numerous times blocking these shows from the parent tab on my laptop and I’d see these shows in the “blocked content” tab. But as soon as I close the browser window and reopen it, the blocked shows are gone from the blocked list. Very frustrating and no one from the Sensical team has replied to my email requests for help. ### 2/5 — Profiles will not load *2024-02-21* I have never heard of Sensical, but am trying to be more proactive on shielding my kids from certain shows/movies/content. I stumbled upon this yesterday and immediately downloaded the app. My kids aren’t home, so I was trying to get the lay of the land and check out what is available on each of their profiles, BUT every time I click through n the icon for their profile, I get kicked off.
