Very entertaining, nice sounds.. great all round! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2014-06-05, version 2.0.7* Very basic but very clever, my 10 month old loves it. The bubble and piano ones are the best, maybe think of something else instead of the hot air balloons. Better go, baby wants the phone! ### 5/5 — 5 mo old *2014-04-30, version 2.0.7* Loves it. Grabs for everyone's phone now. Her favorite, the bubble popping ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2014-01-03* Excelente app para bebês. Minha filha de 7 meses adorou. ### 4/5 — Great app, but... *2014-01-02* Just a warning, this app could be hazardous to the health of your iPad! My son got so excited popping bubbles and hearing the piano notes that he cracked my iPad screen – thanks, Craig Janis. Seriously though, he's loved this app since he learned how to use a pointy-finger eight months ago. Just make sure you turn of multi-tasking gestures and put it in flight mode, or they'll end up purchasing all sorts of things. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2014-01-01* I'm very impressed with this app. You really are in tune with what babies want to see and do, and what they are capable of doing with their little hands. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2013-12-29, version 2.0.7* Thanks for making this app. My little daughter loves it. ### 3/5 — 进入一个游戏后无法退出啊。 *2013-12-24* 热气球的 ### 5/5 — We love this app! *2013-12-19, version 2.0.7* It's perfect for my 13 month old but, honestly, my 6 and 4 year old girls love it too! ### 4/5 — Love it *2013-12-18, version 2.0.7* My granddaughters love this app. Keeps them occupied for a while. ( grandpa likes it to!) ### 5/5 — Not just for baby!!! *2013-12-18* We love this app! We were watching our friends' 1 yr old so I was looking for something fun and I found it. Not only did the baby love it but the 7yr olds wanted to play and they keep coming back to play. Thanx for a fun musical app! The kids say they are going to play the colorful piano. We love it. ### 5/5 — 好 *2013-12-17* 宝八个月的时候下载的，当时看到就很喜欢。但是还比较单调，不能引起更多的兴趣，学到更多的东西。 ### 5/5 — Love It!!! *2013-11-02, version 2.0.6* My son loves this game, but I can't figure out how to get one game to the next. ### 5/5 — Awesome:) *2013-10-22* My little sister love this app!! 5🌟 for sure! :D ### 4/5 — Shaking the phone *2013-09-27* I like this app BUT for being able to shake the phone to get to the apps home screen. Not suitable for babies and toddler bc of that reason. That's what babies do is pick stuff up and shake it around. So I always have to go back into the game for him bc he shakes it while pressing the screen. Please change that one thing! ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-09-18, version 2.0.6* My 8 mos old loves these games. He likes the noises of the bubble & star game. He's not coordinated enough for the hot air balloons yet. ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-08-31, version 2.0.4* My son loves this game, but I need to figure out how to turn off "shake to switch screen" lol. He taps too hard! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lame *2019-11-07* If it’s for babies why doesn’t it change every one in a while. Too hard to change between. ### 1/5 — Unoriginal and Uninspiring *2014-03-31, version 2.0.7* Wouldn't recommend. ### 1/5 — Not working still!!! *2012-12-15, version 2.0.2* App still not working on iOS 6 on 4s. Please fix ASAP. ### 1/5 — Sad *2012-12-04, version 2.0.1* Daughter had a blast before the update. Still doesn't work on iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.1 after the latest update... Will put in positive review again when fixed... ### 1/5 — App update not working *2012-12-02, version 2.0* My little guy had a great time with this app but since the update it won't work. I've reinstalled twice and its still not working. I'm disappointed. ### 1/5 — ipad上点触失灵 *2012-10-22* 在iphone上玩得好好的，在ipad上居然不能触发，点什么都没用。。。 ### 1/5 — HORRIVEL *2012-08-16* Que jogo horrivel namoram ,esse jogo é muito ruiiiiiim ### 1/5 — Magnification problem *2012-07-11* I have the same problem on the I pad. The screen is enraged so you only see a small portion. Doesn't work on I pad ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-06-20* Does not display correctly on iPad, when in app everything is magnified and nothing is visible ### 1/5 — Waste of time... *2012-06-02* The app starts to load and then everything just blows up 4x larger than normal size! I tried to click on the 'APP SUPPORT' button and that doesn't work either! Don't waste your time!!! I also think is funny how the only ones giving it good ratings seem to be related to the developer... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Classic games in a perfect way *2018-03-26* It’s so classic that even babies can play it but schoolers enjoy it too! Wish it wouldn’t have taken so long to update, but glad it did. My kids love this game and it’s not mind numbing. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! :) ### 5/5 — Made for the young (and the young at heart). *2018-03-25* I have had very limited time to use this on our almost 6 month old grandson, but already he is reaching for it. Meanwhile, our nine year old granddaughter loves to entertain herself with it. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! :) ### 5/5 — Needs Angry Face for Bad Babbies *2018-03-24* Great app. Turns babysitting into me just smoking outside while kids stare at my iPad. I just wish there was a timer adults could set that would make a grotesque Freddy Kruger like Face suddenly appear with a loud terrible scream. Not only would it be hysterical to watch the babies reactions but it’d definitely help with the bratty ones who fuss when it’s time for me to get my iPad back to play games. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, it made us chuckle. :) ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2016-11-21* No levels, no ads, just minutes (maybe even an hour) of free entertainment for your baby, toddler or young kid. Just what we wanted. Best baby app! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! :) ### 5/5 — Perfectly simple toddler app *2015-03-11, version 2.0.7* Touché. ### 5/5 — Great User Friendly App *2015-02-24* Great Baby App....my 1 year old has been playing w/this app since he was 5/6 months old. My 10 year old even enjoys the app as well... They play it together. Simple & easy to use 😊 ### 5/5 — My 18 month old loves this! *2014-08-10* Great app for keeping the little one entertained at the airport, on the plane, and anywhere else where keeping him occupied and amused is a parent's primary objective. ### 5/5 — Simple and pretty *2014-08-03* There are SO many apps that try too hard and fail -- treacly nothing attempting to upsell. This one gets it just right -- fun and straightforward. ### 5/5 — 这个给小宝宝玩真好。 *2014-08-03* 很不错 ### 5/5 — Great Simple App *2014-07-16* My 5 mo old loves this app. She can just touch the phone and something happens. Her face lights up every time she plays with the bubbles. Best part is no ads or popups that she can accidentally go into. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
