Tell me now or else but overall it’s a great game and it doesn’t cost too much so please get it I really recommend this app to everyone and anyone ### 3/5 — The app is good but a little inappropriate *2020-07-02, version 1.0.8* So this app is for little kids. And when I put the blue rapper guy in the front section of the stage, i heard him say the n word a word that sounded very similar to the n word. I suggest that you change that because little children who hear him say that might repeat it and that would be very bad. ### 5/5 — As you can see *2019-10-03, version 1.0.8* Some times the girl with tall strings with colorful raindrops sometimes crashes and in solo mode with that character fix that game please. ### 5/5 — Great but... *2019-09-06, version 1.0.8* I found a bug. If you use the accordion drop thingy super fast back and forth, the drops stay and the game goes craZy! ### 2/5 — Does not fit my iPhone X screen!!! *2019-04-05, version 1.0.8* I had bought this game when I had my iPhone 6 and liked it. So I got it again when I bought my iPhone X. The game is fun but it takes up half of the screen and there is no way to make it full screen so that’s why I’m rating 2 stars. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2019-03-25, version 1.0.8* This game is REALLY worth downloading! (For me.) But the people who are complaining about no-sound bugs wrote their reviews a year ago. The toca people fixed the sound problem, so now the game is great. I play it for HOURS at a time! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-11-25, version 1.0.8* Or not.... grandma, get the fishing line. Dudes got it out for me! Seven years ago and it’ll never happen again. Blah blah blah tush, tell it to the judge, rocket genius. Never mind forever, also, also. If you think about it, doo doo deep boop bop beep beep beep beep boop boop beep bump BAM. Just like the injured frogs. Theirs this thing. C -me ### 5/5 — So classsssY to classssIC *2018-10-15, version 1.0.8* I played this when I was little! My sister was born the same year you started! I LOVE YOUR GAME,your characters are so classy! Like this game is classic! ### 2/5 — Needs Update *2018-06-30, version 1.0.7* The game has not been updated in a long time and there are performance issues that need addressing. Characters cannot be moved around and when they do, they are replaced by black boxes. The game also crashes upon loading very often. Please fix soon. ### 5/5 — Great! *2018-06-03, version 1.0.7* All of you people ( most of you ) say the star thing is the only thing that works. However, for me everything is great! The sounds are catchy and you can mix and match to create a great beat!! Keep it up!! ### 2/5 — Please fix *2018-05-20, version 1.0.7* I was playing my game and then it started to glitch the whole thing turned black and when I got another character out he could stand anywhere BUT The platform where they’re supposed to be if you don’t fix this I might cry I might Please please please please please please please please please fix ### 3/5 — I can’t even play *2018-05-06, version 1.0.7* I grew up with this game as child, but I have downloaded twice and when I open it and the face come up, it give me a black screen and send me back to my home screen, PS how do I fix this ### 4/5 — Great game but needs updates *2018-04-14, version 1.0.7* This such a wonderful game and I love it but every time I play it it will kick me out I’ve tried to delete it then download it again but it won’t work pls fix ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I used to like it before.. *2021-12-02, version 1.0.8* Okay so, when I first played this game I thought it was an absolute dream! ♡︎♡︎ but then after a few years past, I thought to download it again for some nostalgia, it still felt the same, yes, a dream! But then when I deleted it and re downloaded it, I could’ve sworn I heard the creepiest sound ever, it was like glitching, only the star one could work, I tried to do the people that did the songs but then I heard just glitches, I was so freaked out..and the green creepy teethy thingy majig was never used by me, nor the old lady because when I first used the green one, THE APPEARANCE SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME!! and then the old lady one did the same, do you know how you have to touch her clothes she’s wearing in order to make her sing? Well it kinda gave me the creeps and made be kinda uncomfortable due to her choir while touching the clothes, but the one that made me really uncomfortable was the top one on the old lady, because her uh..boobies were there and her just going “Aaaah~” to that made me feel uncomfortable, you can play this game if you want but the one that also creeped me out was the blue beatboxing thing, the sound it made absolutely scared me! I recommend you supervise your children, but if they don’t need it then they don’t! overall it’s still a pretty nice game. Bye! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2020-06-12, version 1.0.8* I can’t even play the app! >:( All it does is play the intro over and over so I deleted the app. So I decided to get another toca boca app and it did the EXACT same thing! I’m really disappointed and I would like you to get rid of this bug. Thank you have have a nice day ### 1/5 — The App won’t go past the opening title *2018-04-07, version 1.0.7* My kids are so sad! Every day they want to play Toca Band, they press to open the app, they hear a half a second of the intro and then it goes blank. I’ve deleted it, re-downloaded it, the same thing. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Uhhh... please fix? *2017-03-03, version 1.0.6* Hey so, I am one of those weird people who plays little kids games for entertainment. Well, this game is one of my favorites, but the sounds aren't working anymore. By that I mean the sound is just a loud never ending streak of ugliness. Awful. The only thing that works in the game is the star thing, but without being able to actually combine character's sounds to make music, there isn't much of a point to the game anymore. Please fix, I'm sure all the younger kids who play this game would very much enjoy that too. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Very bad. Full of glitches. *2016-12-05, version 1.0.6* I used to love this game unit I re downloaded it and it was terrible. You could put characters on places where you couldn't before, terrible sound, only sound on the star spot worked. Overall you need to fix this problem.☺️😒☹️ ### 1/5 — Used to be awesome but now no sound *2016-09-27, version 1.0.6* This app used to be so great, but all of a sudden there is no sound. The only way to fix the issue is to take my phone off mute. First off I want my phone to stay on mute and secondly how do you expect me to tell a 1.5 year old that "honey, wherever you play this specific app you need to take the phone off mute". All the other apps work and have sounds whether the phone is on mute or not. Common guys, fix this silly issue. Please. All the apps I have from you do this, is reality frustrating. ### 1/5 — CREEPY, SCARY AND DUMB *2016-09-12, version 1.0.6* First, the sound cut off and really disappointed. Second, all the characters are creepy, especially the chef dude. I had nightmares for goodness sake! Last but not least, it had no point. Was the point to help kids to learn different sounds or they just want kids to have nightmares. I'm 9 years old and this game is just bad. Do not download!!!!! The worst well one of the worst games ever. ### 2/5 — The creepiest Toca game I’ve ever played *2023-07-11* I used to play this when I was four and I don’t know why but it literally freaking scared me half to death the characters are horrifying and the sounds they make is also creepy and other people might be thinking this is weird because they might think it’s fine and it’s fun for a little kids that like just fun music but when I was four I got really freaked out from this game I hated the sounds I thought all the characters were literally so creepy and I feel like you should fix it but you don’t need to because literally no one here has wrote a review in like years so like all the reviews say that it’s been like For years three years two years one year I just think that this is really creepy ### 2/5 — The creepiest Toca game I’ve ever played *2020-11-11, version 1.0.8* Are used to play this when I was four and I don’t know why but it literally freaking scared me half to death the characters are horrifying and the sounds they make it also creepy and other people might be thinking this is weird because they might think it’s fine and it’s fun for a little kids that like just fun music but when I was four I got really freaked out from this game I hated the sounds I thought all the characters were literally so creepy and I feel like you should fix it but you don’t need to because literally no one here has wrote a review in like years so like all the reviews say that it’s been like For years three years two years one year I just think that this is really creepy ### 2/5 — Found a Glitch *2019-06-15, version 1.0.8* When I put the rainbow-colored raindrop harp thing on the star, I strum hard and the drops just stay there. And when I put another person on the stage, it doesn’t move and I see black pixelated stuff on them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please read before downloading *2023-05-07* I love this game but a few things I kinda wish there were more characters like a trumpet dog or a bunny drum or even a cat keyboard but it is the best but this game and some of the other Toca games won’t let me see the pictures on the intro but I just wanted to point that out but an amazing game I recommend to download it thanks for reading ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-04, version 1.0.8* This is a fun app to enjoy with my two-year-old. It teaches how music is constructed with various tracks overlaid with three optional tempo settings and the chance to solo each unique instrument. Super creative, super cute, great fun! I just want to update that my son is now ten and plays the saxophone and piano and still occasionally will open this app because it is that good. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2022-08-20, version 1.0.8* It is amazing Evan when I clean the characters make the BEST MUSIC I love this toca game ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥it fire 😃 I love But you should update it and make more characters but beside that it’s the Bast ever ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 5/5 — Why do I need headphones to hear it *2022-01-26, version 1.0.8* I have to put headphones to hear the sound but everything else is good ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2021-11-08, version 1.0.8* Toca 4ever! I’m 10 but i’m into colorful games that let you create! (Acept fashion games!) People shouldn’t complain about it not being for their age because it wasn’t made for their age, it’s rare for kids like me to like these kind of games. Toca forever! ### 5/5 — Wanting a Toca Boca Band 2 *2021-03-23, version 1.0.8* My autistic son loves this! Great app! My son keeps requesting a second version of this. ### 5/5 — Loveeee *2020-07-18, version 1.0.8* I played this game when I was little and I loved it!!! But I’m very shocked it has a 3 star rating it’s really good ### 5/5 — Great game for kids *2020-03-31, version 1.0.8* Really fun game to make music with. I love all the different creative creatures that make the music. Like the frogs or the tear drop playing the harp. Great game! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-03-18, version 1.0.8* This game is a me and lets you be free no one tells you what or how to do it it’s fun and I also think there should be more characters but it’s a five star to me. ### 5/5 — Epic video and app *2019-11-06, version 1.0.8* The video that was made like 7 years ago is epic and the app too! All the characters are so cool and funny --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
