(Example: the button that turns Carl’s natural color between red and black) ### 4/5 — Bizarre blast from the past *2026-08-02, version 10.3* I bought this app… 15 years ago? 16 years ago? Mostly to annoy then girlfriend. It was a silly app meant to entertain kids not 20 somethings. Anyhow, it’s back… a little glitchy. I always wonder if the original developers are around or if this was bought up as some hopes of hoovering up data. I randomly installed it to just show a friend and it’s still receiving updates. I can’t imagine simple apps like this sell anymore but hey, cool that it’s still here, ### 3/5 — glitchy *2026-07-10, version 9.6* he’s so glitchy now pls fix this I love this stupid little red guy ### 2/5 — Character bugs *2026-05-30, version 9.6* Too many images of Carl are playing in the background. Hes getting struck by lightning constantly without me touching a thing. An image of lightning stands behind him. Should be easy to fix this :| ### 4/5 — I'ts broken now *2026-05-17, version 9.6* Literally broken, it does not function properly anymore. ### 5/5 — Talking Carl is the best! Please update. *2026-04-06, version 9.6* I have enjoyed Talking Carl in so many settings - with my own kids, helping other parents distract a crying child on the bus, etc. It is a perfect app. I’ve had it on my phone since I saw it at the Museum of Modern Art in New York - it’s a classic, an icon. Please update Talking Carl and don’t abandon his fans. ### 3/5 — App Abandoned? *2026-03-29, version 9.6* 4 years since an update and barely works with iOS 26 and newer iPhones. He’s been on my phones and iPads for 14 years. Byebye! ### 3/5 — Not the same *2026-03-28, version 9.6* Back in like 2000's it was so perfect no glitches or anything but now. You can barely play it with how many bugs and glitches it has but it's still fun and brings back so many memories ### 4/5 — Nice app but it keeps freezing and lag on my new phone *2026-03-21, version 9.6* But at least it works fine on my old phone ### 5/5 — my voice is higher than your voice *2026-01-23, version 9.6* MY VOICE IS HIGHER THAN YOUR VOICE ### 3/5 — Not bad *2025-12-18, version 9.6* It’s cool, but I hated how carl would sometimes call me a nitwit when I switched to his evil side. ### 3/5 — The app kept freezing. Please fix. 😐 *2025-11-07, version 9.6* Okay, so it’s been forever since I’ve been in this app, and I decided to go on this app, and I noticed that it kept freezing, like I thought it was gonna crash or something! ☹️ Like, is this a bug or something, maybe a glitch? 🧐 What even is happening? 😫 But anyways, I know I said I wanted a 100% complete fix on this app recently, and that is what I want. 🫥 And when you do so, make sure you get Talking Carl to respond to me again, because I think he wasn’t even doing that recently. 😶 So yeah. 🙁 ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2025-10-27, version 9.6* Laggy needs update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-07-31* The game is completly unusable in iOS 26 ### 1/5 — Not compatible with IPhone 15 Pro Max and up *2026-07-16* This is one of the best family-friendly apps, and children really enjoy using it. Unfortunately, it is no longer compatible with newer iPhones. Some buttons are also positioned incorrectly, and the animations have a noticeable shadowing effect that affects the overall experience. I hope the developers will update the app soon so families can continue enjoying it. ### 1/5 — Ts broken 🫩 *2026-07-09, version 9.6* Yikes ### 1/5 — FIX HIM *2026-03-29, version 9.6* HES GLITCHING THROUGH THE FLOOR AND SUMMONING RANDOM BUTTONS ### 1/5 — The glitch *2026-01-24* What happened wrong with my Talking Carl?

No wonder why I deleted it in the first place. ### 1/5 — It’s glitching now *2025-04-26, version 9.6* I love this game has a kid and I bought it just for nostalgia reasons but it seems like it has some glitches in the game and it’s not working properly has it used to. please fix it! ### 1/5 — I’m dumb *2025-03-11, version 9.6* Game?!?!?!!
