My kids absolutely love it and I feel a lot better about screen time w this Brilliant Kid App. ### 5/5 — Easy + Educational *2021-11-02, version 10.12* This app is perfect for curious little minds who want to use their screen time for more than watching movies or YouTube videos! We loved the ease of transitioning between activities and and the content curated age appropriately! The animal content and classic nursery rhyme songs were the biggest hit! - Sarah, mom of a 4 year old boy ### 5/5 — Extensive learning materials *2021-08-05, version 10.12* We are pretty strict on electronics in our household, and this is one of the only apps I feel is actually educational and beneficial. Our two year old loves the interactive animals and noises, the shapes, the religious songs, and the educational videos! It’s well organized and easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — A great learning tool! *2021-06-28, version 10.12* My 17 month old absolutely loves this app! This app is my favourite educational app for toddlers and kids. It is fun and easy to use and even my 8 and 10 year olds love it! You won’t be disappointed! -Sharna Stone ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-06-18, version 10.12* Great app with great content! ### 5/5 — My 2 year old daughter loves it. *2021-06-15, version 10.12* We have been using the app for the last 2 weeks and she now has the hang of it! She requests playing the games/learning about colours and dancing while listening to the music. It’s a great educational app for young children. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love it *2021-06-07, version 10.12* My kids love this app so much. They can spend hours just looking at the videos. My toddler is learning so much these days from the app. Great job!!! ### 5/5 — Kids love it! *2021-06-06, version 10.12* Educational and fun for my 6 year old and 20 month old who also loves the games! ### 5/5 — Educational app *2021-06-04, version 10.12* My daughter absolutely loves this app, she loves singing along to the songs and listening to all the story’s and she especially loves listening to the animal names and sounds , I think the app is very educational and definitely keeps the Little ones occupied 👏 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-06-01, version 10.12* My daughter loves this app, she is home educated and we spend a lot of time travelling, which is a ideal time for self guided learning. The app is easy too use and she loves the bright colours. She enjoys listening to story’s before bed, and her favourite song “Wheels on the bus” It’s also excellent value for what’s included, 100% recommend it for children whether it’s educational or independent learning ### 5/5 — Wow this is amazing! *2021-05-12, version 10.12* As a mum to three boys, finding an app that will help them whilst also keeping learning fun can be difficult! I highly recommend this app! Easy to use, simple to navigate! ### 5/5 — Easy to Navigate and Lots of Resources! *2021-05-11, version 10.12* I really do like this app and how easy it is to use. My toddler can also navigate through by herself. We bought premium and I believe it was well worth it for the price. I’m keen on teaching my little one French so it was great to find resources in Chinese, Spanish and French! (For me too!) We love the books and the bedtime music is beautiful. Overall, a very colourful, bright and clear app with lots to keep my little one entertained. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2021-04-28, version 10.12* Love this fab app.My son had such fun playing these educational games! Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — My daughter loves it! *2021-04-11, version 10.12* I never review anything, but this app definitely deserves a high one! With so many different things to choose! The burger game is our absolute favourite. This is a definite 10/10 ### 5/5 — An all round amazing app *2021-03-28, version 10.12* This app has kept my son thoroughly entertained, whilst also educating him and helping him learn new sounds and words. It has so many features, and it’s a very well thought out app. He’s a big fan of the animal section, he loves listening to the sound each animal makes and he tries to imitate them. Highly recommend this app if you want to entertain and teach your little one at the same time! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2021-03-16, version 10.12* We downloaded this a couple of days ago and within seconds of downloading it my one year old was in fits of giggles at the animal sounds. I didn’t think she would engage with it for long as her concentration span isn’t always the best but I was so wrong! She absolutely loves it! She also enjoyed the nursery rhymes and I think it’s fab that you can put a playlist together of their fave things so they can watch them back to back. Love that the app also teaches other languages! My 9 year old son really enjoyed the games too! And all round fab app for little ones! ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2021-03-13, version 10.12* My toddler (almost 2) really enjoyed this app. He loved the videos, learning about animal and food names. He also loves the songs! As a parent I love that it has options to have sign with the songs :) highly recommend ### 5/5 — Brill app *2021-03-07, version 10.12* This app is brilliant. My son loved being able to swipe and tap the different animals in the app and loved hearing the noises they made. With this ranging from around 1 upwards I can’t wait to see him grow and learn with it. Great app for kids of all ages. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Propaganda *2022-11-01, version 11.1* The “two moms” short story is leftist propaganda. No thanks ### 1/5 — Nothing Good To Say *2021-05-30, version 10.12* This seems to be a very low quality app given the competition. I was encouraged to get this app from people online but it doesn’t work like they say it does. No sound and graphics and menu very low in quality. Don’t waste your time or money into they improve the lack of audio, interface and content ### 1/5 — Spanish needed *2015-09-17, version 2.6* Wish they had a Spanish version ### 1/5 — Didn't work for me *2015-02-04, version 1.3* I could never get this app to work. After attempting to download a song/movie, I would get an error message saying "download failed try again later." This happened about 20 times so I just gave up and deleted the app. ### 1/5 — No sound *2015-01-31, version 1.3* Fix it ### 3/5 — Can not get app to work!!!! *2016-03-01, version 3.0* App has no sounds and the need to purchase in app is very high. Now at $19.99 and there is no sound. App Store should look into this app. ### 4/5 — Good *2017-05-05, version 3.21* Good ### 4/5 — Pretty good - some improvements needed *2015-11-04, version 2.8* I downloaded this App because my 3 year old is a huge fan of the Beatbuds and my 1 year old loves to bounce to them. I don't mind paying the 99c per video download (and I hope the artists participate) but let me at least throw it on my AppleTV for the kids or give me a private YouTube link for the video or something. If I'm too limited in how I can use this content and restricted solely to the BB App's interface, I don't think I will keep coming back. If you want me to keep coming back, make this App my SOURCE, not my sole player. ### 4/5 — Good Educational App *2015-07-09, version 2.0* This seems like a good educational app for toddler and preschool age children. My kids are a bit too old for it now. Much of the content in this app is not free. You get 3 free videos. The rest are $0.99 each. ### 4/5 — Kayce *2014-10-23, version 1.2* Little one loves it. Great job!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great resource of entertainment *2022-03-23, version 11.1* In this fast paced world where everything is on our phones, I find this app to be very user friendly and a great resource for the kids to learn, play and entertain themselves at the same time. ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2022-03-17, version 11.1* My girls love the brilliant app so much. We listen to bed time stories on it, sing along songs and play games on it too. Would definitely recommend. From Mummysblog ### 5/5 — Such an amazing app *2022-02-28, version 11.1* You can see how much work was put into this app! So well done! Love all the content and sections. My daughter loves the animal videos and the ABC song. The subscription is worth it if you have a kid that loves content. ### 5/5 — A wonderful resource! *2022-02-04, version 11.0* We have been using the premium version of this app for around a year now and absolutely love it. My girls have really struggled with certain elements associated with the pandemic, including mask wearing and have achieved so much comfort by reading the stories in this app that teach children about why we are wearing them. Both my girls love the songs and games too. There really is so much offered by this app and we highly recommend it. It’s definitely worth the small monthly fee for premium! ### 5/5 — We love it *2022-02-04, version 11.0* We love this app! My 4yo & 2yo spend hours playing on it. They love the song section especially! Such a great way for kids to learn all while having fun ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2022-02-04, version 11.0* I used this app with my 2 year old and he loved it!

There is games, music, stories and spellings, as well as, interactive learning videos on colours, shapes, numbers and the alphabet and different languages and so much more! Not only that there are science videos on there too to help children learn science. I love this app and can really see that my little one is taking it all in and learning! ### 5/5 — Great up for kids learning *2022-02-03, version 11.0* My daughter loves this app. It’s great for 5-20 minutes of fun whilst I know learning and developing her skills ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-12-30, version 11.0* Such a cute app!
