### 5/5 — A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

*2018-07-25, version 2.0*

I love this app sooo much! It’s so fun and a little addicting! I play on this almost everyday, it’s so fun making contests, profile pics, art etc. One of my favorite things to do is making fun lil bear edits and posting it to show ppl all around the world! I also love making editing games/wars (I’m currently working on one rn). It’s cool to see people with so many amazing skills in drawing and editing. Finally, I love to interact with other ppl on this app, unless they are to mean other ppl, everyone is kind, funny and talented. I love this app so much!

-@iiKat…? 😋😘😂😃

**Developer response:** thanks for the kind words and support! we love you guys!

### 4/5 — me again..😁

*2018-07-03, version 2.0*

Hiya! It’s me again. Last year when I made this app there was not much drama and fighting on TBW. Not much people is online anymore and people are causing drama for no reason now. so yeah.

My old review from a year ago:

I love TBW! It's the best app ever! You can make teddies or post drawings, edits, icons, etc,. You can make friends and if people are mean or you don't like them you could hide or block them! I love how this game you could talk to whoever you want!
I suggest you download this app if you haven't!

### 5/5 — This game is apart of my everyday life 👌👌

*2018-06-22, version 2.0*

I’m .SALT_CHAN. Tbw and I meet a lot of people I never thought I would meet. They make me happy and I bet they would too! On tbw except everyone no matter who they are so download it and get creative!

### 5/5 — This is the best app ever!

*2018-03-29*

I LOVE THIS APP! You can post edits, bears, humans, and more! You can make a lot friends that supports you in different ways! Sometimes R2 gives you presents like money and gems to buy things for what you make! Just a little tip- Always remember that this game isn’t about likes or popularity, its about making friends!💕💖💘

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-03-26, version 2.0*

This is a really amazing platform. Everyone here is so sweet, and so supportive. I love sharing and creating my own ideas with others. Rachel is also very kind and connects with users of TBW. Over all, I would recommend to anyone. You can find really great people to chat and socialize with, which is probably my favorite part!

### 5/5 — I love it!!!!!!

*2018-03-26, version 2.0*

I love this app so much! I love it because you can make new friends, socialize, and be happy! Everyone on here is so nice. And Rachael is always active and ready to help anyone. It is also age appropriate due to the fact that you there are filters of what you can caption your teddy bear, and if you screenshot a bear, the owner of the bear is notified. To wrap it all up, I love this app so so so much, and I hope it never gets deleted♡

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!

*2018-03-21, version 2.0*

R2 is a good game for making friends, meeting new people, and expressing yourself! You can make bears, Turtles, foxes, R2 humas, edits, and more! In R2 I learned that its not all about popularity. I also made a lot of friends thats supports me in many different ways! Tysm for everything R2!💕💕

### 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.)

### 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?

### 1/5 — Please stop this.

*2018-06-20, version 2.0*

This app used to be fun when people would just post their decorated teddy bears and things like that. Now, though, it's like everyone has turned this app into a mini Facebook. Along with this comes-You guessed it- Drama. It used to be: "I love your bear! It's adorable!" But now it's "You stole this picture from someone else!" Or "Ew! That is gross. You're disgusting!" Also, the word "Hell" passes through the filter which results in bad uses for it, you know what I mean. I have recently deleted this app (For obvious reasons) Because I get tired of these stupid drama apps!

### 1/5 — Sucky Environment

*2018-04-08, version 2.0*

TBW has changed so much, Nobody posts bears anymore and are causing more drama by competing against each other for popularity. And are blocking words that isn’t even cussing, not to mention u can get banned for posting something about leaving when it COULD be important. And spamming isn’t aloud even though I wasn't. ALSO is becoming some games where u have to choose what to say, now comments have to be personalized? UNBELIEVABLE, I would say a good solution is to rid the app.

### 1/5 — Pain

*2018-02-10, version 2.0*

Okay so, just to show this game has no freedom, a long time ago my friend got her sketch stolen and over drawn by an 8 year old.  She started to tell them to put it down and it wasn’t a base, they didn’t even ask.  Then the 8 year old starts whining while others try to protect her when the kid stole artwork.  Then my friend got suspended.  TBW, you said you wanted to take away the screenshot notification before, did you over look the situation?  Although this game has some potential, I dislike how the system works.

### 2/5 — Unfair suspension

*2019-04-10, version 2.0*

So in the age rating it says you can swear and stuff, the app is for 12+(take note of that), but the reality is you can’t do anything that is 12 and up on the app. It’s basically built to be for 4 and up. They had to put 12 and up cause it’s social media. So might wanna think before downloading. Also now I can’t get notifications.

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — A Lovely Game!

*2018-07-25, version 2.0*

I absolutely adore TBW! The ability to talk to others in the gallery, from all the accessories for your teddy, this game is really amazing! I absolutely recommend you play it, because R2 puts so much hard work and effort into it. Drama starts sometimes, but I know it's not the games fault. The community is mostly full of really great people. I'd like to see more features added, but otherwise I think R2, your app is spot on!
hiiiyokosaiiionji, TBW.

### 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) 🥺🤍

### 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*

Hannah-💚 On tbw🌸🌙💖

### 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!

### 5/5 — Awesome game. You’ll LOVE IT

*2019-09-20, version 2.0*

Hi I’m Stacy and I’m in LOVE with TBW. It has changed my life forever. I have fallen in love with my teddy bear. Her name is big gitties. She has a bikini that shows A LOT. Aw so cute. I originally got this game for my my daughter but she didn’t like it so I tried it and I’m in love. My son and daughter left to live with my ex because he diforced me I when I started hissing. I don’t know why tho. I thought it would be hot to print my teddy out and put it on the wall so I callus lick it. And so she could watch me and my husband you know CONCEVE MY NEXT CHILD. but he thought it was werid. But that’s ok because now it me and my hot/sexy teddy. Aww teddy harder 🥰🤤. DOWNLOAD TODAY SOME PEOPLE SAY YOU GET PESSODEST BUT NO YOU GET MAD HORNY. I printed my teddy and had a doll made and now we are married. She and I have tons of you know loVE.

### 5/5 — i’m in love with one of the teddy bears i made

*2019-09-20, version 2.0*

i made a teddy bear on the app and i named her holly... she’s the LOML i would die for holly  bear-y she’s my queen and she’s bearing my children. we are very happy together, and this is my #1 favorite teddy bear dating app i recommend it to anyone who is looking for a teddy bear to love.

### 5/5 — Please add this one option 🐻 💓

*2019-04-13, version 2.0*

Hey, I love this game a lot and check it everyday. It’s super fun. I’ve found fun peeps and all that stuff. I just have an idea, could you please add a “like all posts” options when you go on someone’s account? Like, I promised that I would like everyone’s post and follow them. Now I realise that was a promise that’s hard to follow. So, why not add an option that allows you to like every post with one tap? Thanks a lot! Peace ✌️

### 5/5 — Luv it

*2019-02-24, version 2.0*

I love this app! I just wish that they could give gems on your birthday or when it has been 1 year since u have been on the app! R2 has done an amazing job! It is very child friendly and you can socialize and make many friends! I love this app

### 5/5 — Artemis🎉

*2019-01-01, version 2.0*

I truly do enjoy playing this game! It is such a great, welcoming community for all ages. But my notifications aren’t working? Not sure what that’s about, and I’m a little worried because I’m missing out on being notified by my fav game💗
