If You Don’t… Then You Would Be In BAD Luck. But! If You Get A Bad Luck Charm, Then You Could Avoid Deaths. But The Ones That Are Super Powerful? They Will Not Attack You With It. Just If You Can’t… Then Just Call One Person (Or Child) To Get A lot Of Help (Or A Bit Help) To Just Be Helped! For A Mirage. I Guess… ### 4/5 — It’s ok for toddlers but not fit older kids *2018-10-16, version 1.0.8* Ok so most kids will not really like it. kids where likening it for a minute then they got upset they love toca boca but they got upset because they thought it would be more fun. But one kid that was a toddler LOVED it so I guess if your kids are older they really wont want it. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-12-20, version 1.0.7* Thank you so much for updating this app!! My kids love it. Great for multiple ages, like 2 & 5. So glad to have it. Now please update Paint My Wings. That’s our other favorite! ### 5/5 — Help *2017-11-14, version 1.0.4* I had this app and my iPad updated to 11 now it doesn’t work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ### 5/5 — Update *2017-10-26, version 1.0.4* Need to update this so it works with iOS 11. My grand daughter loves it and was so sad when it wouldn’t open. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-10-10, version 1.0.4* I love this app! I am ten years old and I am still playing it. One suggestion: let us choose what we get for a present. And maybe more things to be in the present box? Like toca box’s t-shirts. Also, I thought maybe you could make a Halloween party app? But over all, I like be toca nova. Ps. The store is awesome too. ### 4/5 — Great But More *2017-01-29, version 1.0.4* I love this game, they should add a step where you can decorate your cake! I just wish they would make a few more options and a toca going out for dinner app! It would be so cool! I would buy it!😀 ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2016-09-22, version 1.0.4* Both my grandchildren have loved this app. Also have used this in speech therapy sessions to teach social skills with autism spectrum kiddos and children with speech or language delays. ### 5/5 — Toca Boca plz read this *2016-03-24, version 1.0.4* I love this game, heck I love all your games but first things first I have this game on my I pad and in that game there is fruit punch how come there is none now? Next I have some suggestions. You should let them choose when the party is over, let us decorate the cake, make it a room not just the table, streamers I know just streamers, oh and if you do use one of these suggestions in your next update thanks a million and I'm not here to nag you about your games I'm here to help you make it better for me and others ### 5/5 — AWESOME GAMES!!!!!! review for b day party + SUGESTIONS! *2016-03-06, version 1.0.4* This game is well worth 2.99, in fact, this was one of the first Toca Boca games I ever played! And when I was 5!!!!! I'm 10 so I have been playing for 5 yrs, and let's just say, it changed my life! However I have a suggestion for this game........what if u could have more plates, a bigger cake, and maybe decorate the cake yourself?!?!? HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE?! Also, I don't like how EXACTLY when u finish the cake everyone leaves........plz note, ALL OF THIS IS BASICALLY A SUGGESTION U DONT NEED TO ADD THEESE,.....even though I hope u do, AND I WILL DEFINITELY SHARE THEESE GAMES WITH MY KIDS WHEN I GET OLDER ### 5/5 — Good...could be better *2016-02-06, version 1.0.4* Maybe you should like get ready for the party. You know all the birthday stuff. Agreed? ### 4/5 — pretty good app! *2016-02-03, version 1.0.4* at first I thought this app would be for little kids, but when I got it, it wasn't that bad! 😉 ### 5/5 — Good for toddlers. *2016-01-25, version 1.0.4* My 3yo loves it. But for older kids it would probably be kinda boring. Agree with others that being able to make the cake and tea, etc would make it more fun for older kids but, like I said, my 3 yo is happy with the way it is ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not what was expected *2019-02-16, version 1.0.8* My daughter loves the toca world games but did not like this one as she is only 5.5 and says this game is for babies and asked if we could get a refund told her that was not sure on how to do that. Even I found the game a bit too childish and a bore kinda a waste of $4 since it was part of a gift card she got. ### 1/5 — This should be FREE *2018-09-21, version 1.0.7* Just like the old tea party app, which my grands liked ok. This just goes nowhere, just a bit of music, different presents(3), And a few food items. She got bored pretty quick and went on to something else We have lots of Toca apps that they still enjoy, but this is a disappointment ### 1/5 — Was so sorry to have paid for this version *2018-03-29, version 1.0.7* We loved the original Toca boca tea party for years. This is a terrible replacement! We loved getting to choose the table cloth, if we wanted hot chocolate, tea or lemonade, lighting the candles, changing the radio channel. What happened!?? What a ripoff! I want my money back! You can’t spill the drinks now and clean them up! That used to make us laugh. ### 1/5 — Already bought this?! *2017-11-28, version 1.0.4* Why can't I download this on another device? I bought it over a year ago and it doesn't show in my purchase history. I'm not paying $3 for that. I'd rather watch my son cry when I tell him the bad news. ### 2/5 — App gets boring quick *2018-01-11, version 1.0.7* My 5 year old daughter loves Toca apps. We own 90% of Toca Boca apps. This is the only app she got bored with very quickly; within 30 minutes. I feel their should be more that you can do, this app is very limited. Not worth $2.99. Don’t let this review steer you away from their other apps, all other apps are very much worth $2.99. ### 2/5 — I like it... For now. *2015-12-12, version 1.0.4* I feel like this game always gets old after three or four rounds. It is kind of a cliché the way it is so much like other tea party games, like Daniel Tiger Tea Party on PBS kids. I also feel as if you should be able to prepare for the party more, like baking the cake or buying the present. Or even being able to choose it, maybe. I gave it two stars because it was just the same thing over and over. Also, maybe there could be more than one present and could we be able to actually do the dishes or wrap the gift. Just a few tweaks that you should add to make a much better turn-out. Thanks, Toca Boca! ### 3/5 — Not worth it *2021-01-18, version 1.0.8* I confess I didn’t look into the description as I should have when my child asked for this game. But I usually love the Toca Boca games, and I don’t mind paying for them since he won’t get ads. But I cannot believe I paid four dollars for this one. Visually it’s cute and it’s a fun concept. But To only have the three options for cakes and themes, with little ability to change anything or get creative is not worth paying for. I thought we were surely missing something but we weren’t. That’s it. Disappointing. ### 3/5 — Please update! *2017-12-12, version 1.0.4* My daughter loves this game! She’s so sad it won’t work after the last update. We are hoping you will update it soon! It would mean the world to her 3-year-old heart! ### 3/5 — Not worth $2.99 *2015-05-16, version 1.0.4* I love the Toca Boca games for my preschooler, but this one is really lame. I am glad we got it for 99 cents because it really isn't even worth that much. It is just one of those "tea party" games where you choose your plates, tap on the pitcher to serve drinks, then tap tap tap over and over again to "eat" all nine pieces of cake, three bites each. BO-RING, even when you're 3 years old. ### 3/5 — Needs more choices *2015-01-14, version 1.0.4* My daughter and the kids I watch love the game but it needs more variety especially now that you aren't offering Toca Tea Party anymore. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it <3 *2023-08-19* I love this app so much. It's not much but I think it's adorable and fun or a little virtual tea party now and then. From the reviews I see that it used to cost money, which I understand the criticism for- it's not much of a game than a small handful of virtual toys to move around, but I definitely think it's a cute and ### 5/5 — I’m ten but in love! *2021-11-08, version 1.0.8* I’ve always liked toca bocas game for younger kis, even though I also also have the other ones for older kids. It’s fun and creative! I like you can choose the different cakes, plates, present, and just theme is general! It’s super colorful and detailed! recommend if you are immature sometimes ehen it comes to video games! ### 5/5 — Cute, imaginative play *2020-11-30, version 1.0.8* My tot and I have fun playing this together. She likes playing it by herself as well. Hope they make more games like this! ### 5/5 — I remember playing this from when I was little!!! *2020-04-20, version 1.0.8* This game has been around for so long including Toca tea party! I used to be addicted to those games and whenever I play for some reason it makes me feel like a little kid again!!! 😃 ### 5/5 — The best *2019-05-28, version 1.0.8* My little sister loves this game only one thing to say it glitches a time or two anyway the game is perfect for little ones ### 5/5 — Cool! But.. *2019-04-07, version 1.0.8* I love this game so much. My and my big sister used to play with it all the time. But I feel like $2.99 is a bit too much for this game. It’s fun, but there’s only 3 cakes and maybe you should add more, like other presents, cakes, plates,etc. :) ### 5/5 — Please fix ❤️ *2018-11-20, version 1.0.8* Hello Toca Boca! There is one problem with the panda cake when I go to put it on the tray it is sideways all the way until the cake is cut so please fix this! But my little cousins love the game. Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — This app is great *2018-10-20, version 1.0.8* This app is great I will not be asking the developers for anything cause I’m not whiny, seeking attention, or passive aggressively saying “I love you but you need to change or else I’ll stop loving you but not really” ### 5/5 — Babysitter and Kid Approved *2018-10-07, version 1.0.8* I’ve been babysitting for several years, and as such I’ve curated a page of apps just for kids that stays on my phone for special moments. These games are personally chosen by me, I test play everyone for smoothness and ability to understand and move through. And when it comes to Toca Boca nearly every app makes the cut. I enjoy the birthday party app specifically because it allows choices but doesn’t get overwhelming complicated. While the older kids aren’t very interested in, three to eight year olds will play again. Tips to extend play: don’t tell your child “how to play” the game. If they can’t move past a screen (new little kids sometimes get stuck at moving the plates to the circles) then offer to help, but the more independent you allow them to be-the more rewarding it is to them when they figure out new features. Last week a little girl (7) was ecstatic when she noticed the streamers after several times of just enjoying it for the cake and drinks! ### 5/5 — A super fun app *2018-10-07, version 1.0.8* We love the Birthday Party and have played it since it first came out - graduating from stuffed animals to Barbie Dolls to stuffed animals again! Please bring back the Toca Tea Party. The original really was the best. Also, please consider making one for a dinner party. This way when Daddy works late, he can still enjoy “Dinner” with his little girl.
