### 4/5 — A very late review

*2022-02-13, version 2.0*

I actually had this app when it first came out and I made some good friends on here. I will say, after looking at a lot of recent things it seems as though this app got pretty unsafe. Hopefully in the future they’ll fix said problems. For now I’ll just enjoy the nostalgia of having been on the platform all those years ago.

### 4/5 — Screenshots?!?!

*2020-04-30, version 2.0*

Hey R2, 
I would like to express my concern about screenshots on TBW.
I just wanna say; what's up with people screenshoting my page/bears. I don't like that they can do that. And there is literally nothing that I can do about it but reply OK to the notification.
PROBLEM: Okay, so, I just got a notification that someone screenshoted my page. I went to look at they're page to see if they were going to copy my works. They didn't so far, but I'm a little paranoid about what they are doing with a screenshot of MY page.
SOLUTION: I think if someone screenshots you page, a notification should be sent out to you with they're reason why they screenshoted it and if instead of OK, yes or no. (depending on whether or not you allow them to.)
Also I just wanna say, looking at his/her posts is making me feel unsafe. And I know another user said the same thing to me about the same person. (The same user that screenshotted my page did the same to their's.) And looking at their page, the got in trouble and banned before. Like I said before, this is making me paranoid and anxious.
As always, Thank you for letting me express my concern. Also, I would REALLY appreciate if you can fix this so I don't have to worry about what they are doing with my stuff.

### 5/5 — Please update

*2020-04-08, version 2.0*

Hi my names Diana and I’m 10! I’ve been playing since I was 4. This may seem like a normal dress up game, but it’s not! If u go to the gallery, there’s a big community there! It’s like social media for kids! You can make edits of your teddy, make friends, role play, post your edits and much more! But the only downside is that IT DIESNT WORK FOR NEW IPADS! when I had my iPad, the accessories and clothes worked fine, but then when I got my new iPad, barely any clothes or accessories work! Please update! Ily! -iianqelic (I deleted my old acc) 🥺🤍

### 1/5 — Hey lady your app is broken

*2020-01-26, version 2.0*

literally both of your apps ( likable and tbw) are broken 😳 you can’t even login to either app at the moment. You get an error message. You haven’t updated these apps in years. They are falling apart rapidly ( especially likable, considering how it’s so neglected. At this point I would just remove lik off the AppStore considering there’s never more than 3-4 people online at a time.)

### 5/5 — GREAT APP 💖

*2019-12-15, version 2.0*

This app is not really a popular app! That's is why you're lucky too find it. It's really fun. My friend doesn't like it because she is a beginner. It is not fun at first but in the next months u will love it 😍! Everyone is so nice 👍 even the creator of this game. lots of cute and fun updates! Sometimes there is drama but it depends on what type of person u are! I recommend u should join rp's. make lots of friends. Make clubs, episodes and edits! And the best part is u don't have too make bears! Follow the steps and this will be a great game 😝👍💖 But R2 suspends u for no reason And also this game is rated 12+ but it’s really like supposed to be 8+! But this game is good so 5 stars

### 5/5 — Best app ever!

*2019-11-25, version 2.0*

Hello!! 💖💕🌸 I just wanted to say how much I looovvee the community!🌸🌼💫 I have noticed that the app has been a lil run down sence 2016, but it’s still wonderful!💕🌼❤️ It would be so sad to see it go! 😭🥺 this app is my childhood, my sort of instagram🌙💕Everyday i come home from school and post a new drawing or edit for my friends to see!💕😊🌙🌸 Thank you Rachel, and R2 staff for completing my childhood🌙💕🍯🌼
Hannah-💚 On tbw🌸🌙💖

### 3/5 — kinda dead.. :(

*2019-11-09, version 2.0*

i’ve been playing since 2015; and the community was kind, and living. now? it’s dead, and filled with drama. people bashed me for no reason. it may seem all “🍓 Love this app! xx! Everyone’s so sweet!”, but that’s just for them. not everyone’s sugar sweet candy.. and the community just loves to stir up drama. otherwise, there’s some kind people. i’d suggest this app for younger kids who can’t get instagram, since it has filters & it blocks rude comments.

### 5/5 — Best Kids Game Ever!

*2019-11-03, version 2.0*

I’ve had this app for about 5 years now, and I’m still in love with it! You can make Teddy Bears with customizable features, but you can also make other animals as well such as Turtles, R2 Girls, Bunnies, Cats, and etc. But there is more than just making things because you can actually post it on a gallery where there’s a whole community on there. It’s kid friendly, amazing HD features onto it, and you can make many friends and expand your creativity to the limits! I will honestly say that you will love this app when you download it! Who cares about its star ratings and actually experience yourself because many people have had many experiences on it and I don’t think you will regret downloading it. Thank you for reading this!

Nobody is mean on this app, everyone is so kind! 💓 They’ll say “Nice!” “LOVE IT!” “Cool post!” They’ll care! 💞 This app is so amazing! Getting gems isn’t so expensive ☁️ it’s only under 10 bucks and you can get A LOT! R2 even gifts everyone on the app! She’s so kind! And we think we need to save the teddy community! 5 years ago, we had over a million players, now we barley have any! Please help by, getting the app, making post, commenting nice things, and spreading the word on social media! 💞 Please get the app! It’s like insta for 12+ year olds! 💞

☁️ ~ From Reddish, your amazing buddy! ☁️

### 1/5 — Rachel Please Read <4

*2019-10-11, version 2.0*

Ive been playing this game for about 3 years now, and when I first got it, there was so many people, and I did things like edit photos, make gacha things, and make bears! Now, three years later, there is litterally 10 people playing. I mean it’s nice having it to yourselves, but it’s boring because you can’t really gain anymore followers. I currently have 60 followers, and more then half have left the app. And everyone currently playing has followed me soo.. Rachel could you try to update the game?
