It bring an uncanny feeling when you talk to these creatures and sometimes the trivia questions are like this: What is the lightest element? Titanium Titanium Titanium Titanium Wich one should I pick? There’s no hydrogen. Not to mention the stories leave us unfulfilled, and I feel like the ai should not be the child’s brain so to say in writing these and then publishing them. It would be much better if the child actually wrote the stories themselves or if they can’t type they should just use audio. I feel like this app shouldn’t be so expensive to actually do the fun stuff that probably sucks as much as the other stuff. Developers please respond use like to hear what you want to say. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-12-14, version 2.6.7* Overall, seems stupid for kids ### 1/5 — Limited play *2025-09-19, version 2.6.3* I personally think that children shouldn’t have to pay to play a game that is supposed to be for kids. I only got to play for a limited time, and then it just popped up saying “ hey, if you pay for the game, you get a different version of the game, and you actually get to play!” That is why that I only gave this game one star. I honestly think that you should change and get rid of that detail of the game.pretty please? Otherwise, I am never downloading this again. NEVER.AGAIN. Do not recommend at all. And the worst part is that I can’t find another game that meets the expectations! ### 1/5 — This sucks *2025-08-27, version 2.6.3* WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? 😭🫩 ### 1/5 — Please make it free! *2025-04-01, version 2.4.7* I love this app! I am 12 and i got this for my little sister and she loves it but lol- i like it too! I like writing stories but i never am able to show them to anyone so i like that other kids can read my stories! But today when i tried to get into curie the subscription thing popped up without an X. Usually theres an X so that i can continue on without premium. Developers, its fine if you keep all your premium requirements there but me and my sister would love if you would just make it so we can play free without a bit of premium stuff. ### 1/5 — 🤬🤬🤬🤬 *2025-03-20* I HATE IT my dad dose not have a password I cannot play Respond BECAUSE I HATE YOU SO MUCH **Developer response:** Hi - Thanks for the feedback.

The next day it showed me a subscription usually there’s an X thing but there wasn’t please make your games. This is so annoying, but please fix it and make it free for everyone. Everyone should enjoy it if they see it on YouTube or something they should be able to get it for free. ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-08-23, version 3.2.0* 33️⃣ ### 3/5 — Fix this please *2025-11-03, version 2.6.4* The time limit is way too short like ten minutes that’s it some children only have friends at school WE NEED MORE TIME and also please if we delete a picture book you should get the picture book back to make ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — F *2026-08-08, version 3.1.0* Like this ### 5/5 — My daughter loved spark *2026-07-11, version 3.0.0* My daughter asked every single day if she could do this talk to this work and when it runs out, he asked, can you actually buy me the timer one it was OK for me he tells everything now she has her own phone and then she got it and ### 5/5 — Could it pls sign me in instantly?

And now she isn’t talking like she is, but her voice is just like dead. ### 5/5 — I wish for this happy new year update *2026-01-04, version 2.6.7* All I want for New Year’s I am a player of the game so I wish that the kids could Collab together to make stories because they could get used to each other and they could be like optional and they could create like stories together and have fun together because I bet that would be exciting, but they could also be a optional setting for the parents to turn that off if they wanted to ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-12-27, version 2.6.7* I’m a kid and I love the game but can you guys ad ai vids free ones? ### 5/5 — ILove curie *2025-10-12, version 2.6.3* 10 ### 5/5 — So amazing but in the beginning, they go mute and then turn on again *2025-08-02, version 2.6.2* Amazing but they absolutely don’t know what a brainrot is hilarious --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
