Blah blah blah

I HATE THIS THING

American English only

Be aware, the only spoken English option is American English. I wanted British English for my children, & I would not have bought this app had I known.

Says 4+ more like 12 months

Not worth buying my sons 3 and a big hungry caterpillars fan he lost interest after about 3 minutes got to the quiz at the end and he wasn’t interested at all by then I carried on to see what type of questions there where and all questions he could have answered a year ago does not help with speech at all

Not UK English

This is not helpful for children learning how to pronounce new vocabulary in U.K English.

Don’t waste your time

No recomendable

Hola, lo siento, nos gustaría investigarlo de inmediato. ¿Puede enviarnos un correo electrónico rápido con más detalles a support@touchpress.com? Nuestro equipo se pondrá en contacto contigo. Gracias.

Sound doesn’t work

Sound doesn't work in the app

Response from developer

Hello. Sorry to hear you are having trouble with our app. Normally problems with sound are due to the fact that the mute switch on the device is engaged. This can be a little confusing because not all apps obey the mute button, but ours do, so while you will be able to hear other apps, you would not be able to hear ours. All you have to do is toggle the mute switch which is located on the side of your tablet or smartphone. Once you toggle it you will hear sound again. If there is no mute button please slide up the menu from the bottom of the iPad screen to find the mute button icon. If you still cannot hear sound, please try the following: Go to Settings > General. Under "Use Side Switch To" please ensure that the "Mute" option is selected, and not the "Lock Rotation" button. Then ensure that the Lock / Unlock setting is switched on (to unlock). You might have to restart your device afterwards. If this doesn't work email support@touchpress.com with the model of your device and we will look into it further for you. We hope this resolves your issue, if you’re satisfied it has, would you consider revising your review?

No sound!

Just wasted $$ on this. Awesome.

I don't like the lights on

I don't want reflection

Awesome App!

These apps are great. My child loves them and they do a wonderful job of helping her to calm down when she’s over stimulated.

Ms

No sound and no way to contact the developer for a refund! Do not purchase!

No Sound at all

Complete rip off. Keeps telling me my phone is in silent mode but all other apps have sound. How convenient for them that there is no way to contact the company through the app.

No sound on iPad 3

No sound at all on iPad 3 and tells me that mute is on but other apps work fine. Also have an iPad Air 2 that works fine, but the older one is supposed to be for the toddler to use. Refund, please!

No Bueno

Boring animations, boring story. There's better apps out there. Wish I could have my money back 😏

Waste

Absolutely no sound. Every other app works just fine and has sound but this one that just keeps telling me to turn off silent mode.

No sound

What happened to the sound? My daughter recognises this app from nursery but the sound doesn't work despite it telling me we are on silent mode (which we are not as everything else works with sound). Can't figure it out. Waste of time. Shame really.
