He gets incredibly frustrated at the buffering during streaming & we need these videos as they have been the one thing that has soothed him since he was a baby (he has multiple disabilities). If we could keep all our purchases downloaded permanently I would give it 5 stars! ### 2/5 — It's great when it works... about 25% of the time *2021-11-07* My son loves this app when it works. Highly glitchy and frustrating when it causes a meltdown. ### 1/5 — Frustrating & waste of time and money *2020-12-18, version 8.1* The videos are amazing on youtube, but on the app it’s horrible NO SOUND!! So what’s the point. We uninstalled and reinstalled 3x. Useless....So sad because my son loves it. ### 1/5 — No sound! *2020-06-01* No sound! ### 1/5 — No sound and crashes every time *2019-06-22, version 6.0* No sound on any videos even the ones you purchase and the app crashes my phone every time ### 1/5 — No sound! *2019-03-26, version 6.0* Uninstalled twice and still no sound.
