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. ### 3/5 — Baby games *2019-03-23* The videos / games are for babys ### 3/5 — Great app... But *2016-04-08* First complaint is the in app ads- zombies on a baby app??? Second complaint is that the app freezes a lot. But my 18 month old LOVES this app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed by ads *2014-09-17* I was very disappointed by the video ads that play in this app, especially since it's designed for children. What 3 year old is going to wait through an ad for gum or batteries? Plus once the ad finished playing the actual video would hang or not load at all. ### 1/5 — Nope. *2014-05-20* This app is garbage. Had a previous 'preview' version for over a year. It was limited and grating. I hated it, but my toddler loved it! Figured it was time to upgrade and see if they improved it. Nope. They added features, sure. But they also added advertisements! YOU DON'T PUT ADS IN CHILDREN'S APPS! What is wrong with you people?? Full-screen video ads - aimed at adults - play when you click EVERY exercise. Awful. ### 1/5 — Sparkabilities *2014-03-14, version 4.0* Not impressed. The app stops without any reason. ### 2/5 — too many adds *2013-12-06, version 3.3* You have to watch a long add before every song. I deleted it already. ### 3/5 — Love the app, hate the ads *2013-10-24* Ads are so irrelevant and now that I have to watch one every time before my son can see the content is very annoying. Also it freezes on the same ad over and over. Great concept and idea, not a great app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-10-22, version 3.2* I'm so, so, so disappointed this doesn't work. I happily spent $20 to purchase all levels of the app because I'm such a believer in play wisely. ### 4/5 — Good educational and entertaining app *2013-09-18, version 3.2* I bought level 3 for my 18 month old son because he loves dogs. Now I have bought all the levels and paid more than I should have since I bought them separately, I wish I would've just bought them all in in the beginning for 19.99. But he is 2 now and loves them all. He's learning to say his abc's because of this app, so I'm happy with it. ### 1/5 — This app doesn't work! *2013-08-30, version 3.1* One video works and the rest freeze right away. Also, children having to watch those ads??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — disappointed *2025-03-17* doesn’t work at all ### 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. My daughter loves the YouTube videos. This would of been awesome to have on the go ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-12-16, version 6.0* There is no sound just images, my son love the this his watch’s on YouTube but on my phone no sound ### 1/5 — Audio problem *2018-10-05* THE SOUND DOES NOT WORK!!! ### 1/5 — Love the app but what's with the ads? *2017-04-19, version 6.0* My child absolutely loves this app but it's now interjected with Gaming ads where people are shooting each other. Not appropriate! Going to have to delete the app unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Sound not working *2017-03-13* After a while the sound stopped working. We've tried it on many devices and it doesn't work. We've reported the problem but didn't hear from the company. This is very frustrating because without the sound, the app is useless. ### 1/5 — No sound *2016-03-19* The sound is not working on any videos ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sparkabilities is great! *2017-03-16* This app uses the latest learning tools. Love that it works with the ability of babies and tots to learn so much more than most people think they can. Thank you for realizing our young children's capabilities! ### 5/5 — My son loves this!! *2015-05-07* My 14 month has been enjoying this app since he was 9 months old and still gets audibly excited when it comes on. He can spend 20-30 minutes watching the videos over and over. It's the only app he really likes. My favorite thing about this app is that once a video starts, it doesn't matter how many times your baby touches the screen, it won't shut off. An adult has to press and hold in a specific spot to stop a video. This means my son can hold and touch the iPad while viewing. ### 5/5 — Genius! Best Toddler Learning material EVER! Entertaining to both child & PARENT!!! Go Figure!!! *2015-04-29* Genius! Best Toddler Learning material EVER! Entertaining to both child & PARENT!!! Go Figure!!! I am so appreciative of it being FREE most of all!!! And one add with a sexy Nick Lachey every 1 out of 10 videos. I love This woman and the creators!! THANK YOU!! ### 5/5 — Great tool!! *2015-03-12* First I bought sparkabilities babies 1 and 2. My child loved them. Then I tried different apps and computer programs but he wasn't interested at all. I bought totbox and he is so happy with it, he smiles and pays lots of attention. ### 5/5 — Several concepts *2013-10-30* The movies present colors, shapes, size, letters, fractions, directions...all without being overwhelming and in a non-teachy way. My son loves it and he's learning just by watching. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-09-21* Very engaging for my 20 month old. Teaches her many different things. I especially love the emotions section. Love this app! Wish I could get it without the commercials though ### 5/5 — Fun for both of us *2013-08-28, version 3.1* I love watching my baby react to this app. He laughs and tries to mimic the sounds. I love this app ### 5/5 — Great support *2013-08-26* I was in contact with the developers of this app several times for questions I had. They were so helpful & even offered to Skype with me to clarify my questions. Thanks so much to such a great team :) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-12-02, version 2.0* Awesome. Our daughter, who has visual impairment and neuro condition loves this, it is the first and only app we have seen her smile too, engage and squeal. So impressed ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2012-09-11, version 1.0* Thank you sparkabilities for this app! We all love it very much!
