### 5/5 — Nostalgic + why you should download starfall

*2026-07-03, version 3.3.76*

I am currently in middle school and I loved this app when I was in elementary (ever since pre-k to kindergarten) and I loved this app so much! If you are reading this, here a few reasons why you should download it based off my experience! (fyi I don’t remember much since I haven’t played this game in a while so this is just how much I remember) 
1: it’s educational
2: the illustrations are kid-friendly
3: you can choose which grade you want to learn in!
4: it has many interactive games
5: teaches almost all the stuff you need (ex. Math, reading, art, spelling, history, holidays, etc..)
BUT here’s something to know, some stuff in starfall could require you to pay but luckily most of the stuff you would need are free!
Consider downloading starfall! It’s great!

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2026-06-30, version 3.3.76*

I downloaded this app and it was kinda babyish and I’m in first grade and the first grade stuff is kinda weird but it’s ok 👌.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAMEEEEEE

*2026-06-16, version 3.3.66*

I used to play this in pre k and I’m in 4th grade now I was looking for it and I finally found it

### 5/5 — Star fall is the best

*2026-06-13, version 3.3.66*

Starfall is the best game for little kids and for big kids and it’s so fun you should get it. There’s literally no ads.

### 5/5 — This is a good app

*2026-06-11, version 3.3.66*

I do this in school in 3rd grade this year

### 4/5 — not bad

*2026-06-09, version 3.3.66*

It’s not bad, but I thought everything was free because I have the app on my school computer and everything‘s on it grade 4 2/5 it’s good but I feel like hummingbird Park should be free

### 3/5 — A few issues……

*2026-06-08, version 3.3.66*

So when I go onto the stuff where you can create your characters, it always resets my character every time I go on it and also when I go on the what will I wear thingy it like always starts to glitch at the last part but the rest of the game is awesome I really like the puzzles.

### 5/5 — I CANT BELIEVE ITS UPDATED!!!!!!

*2026-05-31, version 3.3.66*

Ive been playing this game till pre-k! And I’ve always found it so entertaining! Not like all those other learning apps that try to make it fun when it’s actually making you feel stupid because they act like you’re younger than you are. But not with Starfall! Lol! I’m in seventh grade and I STILL love playing it! Even though I’ve passed the age range! So anyway! Keep up the good work Starfall!

### 5/5 — Why I need to get full content

### 4/5 — I’m enjoying Starfall, but not everything is free...

*2026-05-13, version 3.3.66*

I love Starfall and there’s videos and games you can watch and play. You can also watch the ABC song, which features a witch and a fairy at the beginning, and you can choose your grade. Grades 4-5 are a little different. Though make everything free, because you have to sign in to access all content.🙃

*2026-05-09, version 3.3.66*

My kids love it easy learning

### 5/5 — I loved this game!

*2026-05-09*

I grew up on playing this game and i loved it. So many great memories playing game.

### 2/5 — My child is very sad

*2026-04-30, version 3.3.66*

Kids should be able to learn without money

### 5/5 — More

*2026-04-29, version 3.3.66*

I love it ,but I want some more of this

### 5/5 — Amazing for homework!

*2026-04-15, version 3.3.54*

So last night I downloaded Starfall on my brother (3)’s tablet and my tablet and it is AMAZING. I just wish you could do more 5th and 4th grade games and I wish you can create characters in 5th and 4th grade. Other than that, I truly recommend this game for schools, parents, kids, anyone.

### 3/5 — It was OK

*2026-03-27, version 3.3.54*

Am I opinion why it was OK because it wasn’t the best because I feel like they didn’t really have like that much like stuff for the kids like there’s like way more like math stuff you could do but like I agree with that person who said fourth and fifth graders like they don’t have anything like they don’t have like as much as like the other grades below too, but like I still appreciate all the learning stuff in this, but I would say that they should add more math stuff to help the kids learn more. Thank you for reading this.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2026-07-26, version 3.3.76*

It goes out weekly and won’t let you log in or blocks the extra features you pay for with your subscription.  Get your stuff together star-fail

### 1/5 — I don’t like it

*2025-11-26, version 3.3.32*

It’s not that doesn’t help you learn it just games and I would just give it like one star because it doesn’t even help your kid learn they only have games and they do have math games but it’s only like playing games or not too much learning in that so I don’t recommend that because it isn’t too much but I recommend that it’s a scam

### 1/5 — Too babyish and doesn’t function properly.

*2025-10-26, version 3.3.32*

This app is over 20 years old and it is definitely showing signs of its age, plus there aren’t many activities that suit my little brother’s level (Gifted 2nd Grade) Not a good app.

### 1/5 — Stopped opening

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2025-10-16, version 3.3.28*

### 1/5 — This is a cringe app low-key

*2026-08-01, version 3.3.76*

This was my childhood app “Starfall” one of the only apps that I actually enjoyed as a 6-7 year old. I can’t believe that ts actually got an update✌️I’m officially in middle school and I’m finally too old for this, I mean I still wanna play on it, Besides u might wonder why im still using ts app 


STARFALL WAS JUST PEAK FOR CHILDHOOD.

### 5/5 — My Little Bro is ALBERT EINSTEIN!

*2026-07-14*

I’m an 11 year old older sister, and I have lots of educational stuff on my iPad that my brother can use, and right now Starfall is for the WIN! The gameplay set up is perfect for little ones and they can quickly learn the basics. I can especially say that I love how it’s completely free, (well it used to be..but it’s not ALL THAT limited, it still has the need-to-know things! (ABCs, 123s, and other educational stuff) has no ads or pop-ups, and that you to have TONS to do! From mastering the alphabet, counting and number songs, catchy rhymes, a variety seasonal games, and so much more fun activities! It includes ALL primary school grade levels, which are separated into sections. (Kindergarten and Pre-K, 1st and 3rd Grade, and 4th and 5th grade.) My little brother has already mastered so much from it, even from a download so recent, that’s how good it is! If you want a main app for your pre-K or primary schooler, this is the go-to, MUST download!

### 5/5 — Amazing, but just one question…

*2026-07-08, version 3.3.76*

This app is amazing. Best part? Alphaville. I know that I am 10, but I’m also interested in letters and what leads on to, well, Unicode. One question: In the “Y can be a Vowel”, right at the start, I saw a “@“ sign at the bottom in the crowd. Is that on purpose, or is it an accident you didn’t mean to make?
