But what I don’t like about it is that you have to go to a limit of blocks to like stack but what do you like go a crossed you can get any amount of blocks and I think you should add like some like furniture. For little kids they can like work on building houses because like who knows they might be a fashion designer or a builder they can like get like some ideas which probably won’t remember lol😂 but yeah. ### 4/5 — Needs animals! *2022-02-06, version 2.1* Love to build houses and worlds but can you PLEASE add the option to put ANIMALS in the app so they can live in the houses, barns, fences, etc that I build? Pretty PLEASE????🙏 😍 THAT WOULD MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE! and I would never have to play Minecraft again! Please please please please??????? I recommend this app to alll my friends and we all feel the same way too! Thank you for listening!! ### 4/5 — Epic but here’s my opinion *2021-12-19, version 2.0* When ever I build a house it’s always dark. so maybe you should add transparent block options and maybe even a light block option so there aren’t just big awkward holes in my houses ### 5/5 — Love it but can you add a few things? *2020-07-12, version 1.0.10* So I do love this game but you can only build 6 blocks high. Can you add were the people can build as high as they want? Also can there be a Toca builder that can fly so it can be way easy to build? That would be cool. Can you also add animals that can move around? Well, I just now thought that maybe you can play with other people’s world. So, maybe you can name your world? ### 4/5 — Amazing! *2020-06-05, version 1.0.10* This game is amazing! You can build what ever you want and are free to be creative. This is probably an outrageous request, but can you make it multiplayer? Me and my cousin love this game so much, and we would love to play together. It would also be great if you made the height limit a little bit higher. Thank you for making this game, love it so much! Please put some thought into my requests. ### 5/5 — Toca Builders Characters and Adventures *2020-04-25, version 1.0.10* Jum Jum, Vex, Connie, Cooper, Stretch and Blox are my favorite! Want a castle? Do you wanna get lost in sea? Do you want to die of cancer? Or die from lava. Do you want to get hit by Elsa in her ice castle? Do you want to eat ice cream? Eating ice cream is the best! Like and subscribe! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app ever! *2020-03-25, version 1.0.10* I love this game because I love to build stuff. I built a great world. But when I was on the App Store, there was this game that I thought that was a awesome game! And when I downloaded the game, it was useless. And I tried the game, but it was terrible. So l got the game and I saw the world wasn’t there! So there is one problem with the game 1 I just. Wish that it wasn’t deleted. By Anna ### 5/5 — This game is awesome but please read! 😀 *2019-12-30, version 1.0.10* I love this game but the building guy with the Crain I think should be able to pick up the characters with his Crain and one last thing I think there should be furniture. I think this is a great game but please make those changes. 🤩 ### 5/5 — This game is the best! *2019-12-28, version 1.0.10* This is a very fun and decent game and has mechanics for all ages to enjoy! You play as little builders and you can build whatever you want!...It’s familyShare option is awesome!Having gameplay with family and having fun on this grand adventure!With six unique characters with all different abilities!This is the best game... ### 4/5 — Kind of *2019-12-15, version 1.0.10* I think there should be no limit for how tall the blocks can go. Right now the limit is 6 blocks. I also think there should be furniture. Sometimes younger kids don’t know how to make houses and buildings. So, to prevent this you can add the birth of date for your child and have pre-built homes. But it depends on the age. Thank you so much! I Really think you should change that. And one more thing. The characters should have elements and they have the same ones. They should be able to go on the water too. All the characters can make more land. AND 1 more thing. I think you should take a picture of a thing you want to copy so you don’t have to do it over again. And Toca Blocks has it too. Thank you! And LAST thing. I like that there is nothing to pay for. I hope these changes should be fixed soon ### 5/5 — The girl cant move *2019-10-15, version 1.0.10* Why cant the girl move around? I love thiss game my cousin plays it when he comes over ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2019-08-10, version 1.0.10* You should add a new mode for friends to play. It should be local, or with friends from the Game Center. It would be a decent feature for Toca Builder. Otherwise, this game is great for kids! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2019-07-22, version 1.0.10* This give me much more building skills and I love it because it’s fun also it’s for anyone to play! ### 5/5 — Homer Simpson *2019-07-10, version 1.0.10* Toca boca this is your boss I want u to make a toca builders 2 with all the same characters that are in the first one but your going to add more characters and put lots more stuff in it and make the world bigger. 😘 ### 5/5 — This game is great!!! *2019-04-15, version 1.0.10* I was about 5 when I first got this game. And yes, ok I LOVED it. And now I’m like 10, and I reinstalled it and I already love it again. But 1 thing, I think you should be able to build higher than 6 blocks, because I build houses, and the crane/spider can’t fit, so I hope you fix that. Thanks!!!❤️ ### 4/5 — ik this sounds crazy, but plz UNFIX the old glitches and bugs! *2019-03-12, version 1.0.10* There used to be a bug where you could go thru charecters but now you can’t. Plz leave this game bug-filled, and maybe even unfix old bugs you fixed. The glitches are the main reason I play the game, and not to build xD You’ll never see this message thingy, but stil, DONT FIX BUGS plz As the saying goes, “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!” ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying *2021-09-03, version 2.0* I’m an adult and I find this game way over complicated. Why do you need different robots to do diffident tasks? Switching through different modes for one robot would have been a lot easier. As it is, you have to move all the robots around each other and it’s just frustrating. Don’t even get me started on how you control their direction and walking! This game isn’t intuitive, is way too limited, and a complete waste of money. I generally like Toca apps, so I’m pretty disappointed. ### 1/5 — Frustrated Toca costumer *2020-01-25, version 1.0.10* I would give this app/company zero stars if I could. We’ve purchased numerous apps in the past...now two of them (Builders & Robot Lab) are not working. They will not open and it appears they haven’t been updated to the new OS. Another Toca app, the first Kitchen, disappeared altogether after I purchased it years ago. I am assuming they want me to pay for the newer version, Kitchen 2, and that’s just terrible business practice. My son has been trying different things for over an hour to try to use these apps and I am frustrated that paid apps are functioning so poorly on our iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money!! *2018-09-09, version 1.0.10* Honestly, I understand the concept, but it’s trash. The controls are odd and hard to get used to. This app is $3.99!! I also think there should be an adventure mode we’re things are already built. Come on, Toca Boca! Keep in mind, this is for 5 YEAR OLDS!! 🤬😡😤 ### 1/5 — Worst Game Ever! *2016-07-14, version 1.0.5* I got this game because someone said it was like minecraft. So untrue! This game has a very limited selection of blocks compared to minecraft, survivalcraft, terraria, etc. and a height limit of less than ten blocks. This game is by far the worst and most disappointing game I have ever played! DO NOT GET THIS GAME. ### 2/5 — Decent mechanics but needs work *2017-10-25, version 1.0.5* Got this app for 6 yr old daughter who loves to build things. First of all, for how complicated the game is (for the target audience- young kids) I'm shocked that it doesn't have any introduction to the characters or game at all. There isn't even an intro animation or video or sample pics of some ideas to get started. They should really include a ''game mode" which includes an intro to basic functions, tasks, achievements, or levels with the option to break off into free mode. Secondly, as most reviewers mention some mechanics need upgrading. The most pressing is to add ability to create something higher than 6 blocks which severely limits what you can build. The other is the addition of at least some blocks with simple patterns, brick, wood, metal, flower, window, door handle. water. These would seem to be obvious and relatively easy fixes from a programming perspective so seeing comments a year old with these suggestions makes me wonder if the are even continuing to develop this. In summary, a good idea with some fatal flaws that made this app not worth the $2.99 price tag. ### 3/5 — Great game but needs this *2019-04-26, version 1.0.10* I really like this game but I never got the ship world and I think that there should be a invisible block I don’t mind if you don’t want to do it but it would be cool if you did thank you 💩👍🏾🤷🏾‍♀️🐵 ### 3/5 — Needs more fun less boring *2019-04-19, version 1.0.10* I give this game a 3 I don’t wanna be rood about what I am gonna about to say just it takes so long to build stuff I would rather play mine craft cause it’s kinda like this game but way easier to build and more design to it. I would love it if the blocks could have cool designs to them and build stuff way higher and lots more land space to build stuff. ### 3/5 — Good but all games are the same *2018-12-03, version 1.0.10* So I love your games but the good ones that look really fun to play are priced and I want those games but not allowed to so it makes me sad this game is good but the tools are not really that good for someone young like they not might be able to use it correctly or like that but over all I like your game and your other ones like the salon ones ### 3/5 — It’s good I guess *2018-07-22, version 1.0.10* So it is pretty good bc I love building little homes for the characters. Also the floor should start off green, like grass. Bc whenever I start a new world, I usually spend hours trying to paint the floor green. Also u should be able to build higher! That’s all I wanted to say, byeeeee ~Sophie Elaine ♥️ ### 3/5 — PLEASE READ THIS ITS GOOD INFO. *2017-08-17, version 1.0.5* Ok lys this app is fun and silly yeah yeah. But it's kind hard to use. The characters are funny and stuff but it's so hard to control and stuff. So for those reasons it loses two stars sorry ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Creative *2023-02-15, version 2.3.1* I like the 6 characters the developer is made, and the way you just paint the floor and build walls. Also, you can choose so much colors that makes you feel like you built a whole blocky world (it’s not Minecraft) but that’s fine, it’s just the way they made it. And building a Everything takes up too many areas but whereas this app devote lots of young kids to build their dream paradise made up of blocks. It’s just amazing where you make buildings, houses, objects, and almost everything in this app is very amazing but here are the places and abiotic or biotic stuff you can make Trees Houses Oceans Ponds Parks Sporting Places (though it’s hard to make) Stores Beaches Just almost everything in this game ### 5/5 — I love it! Oh my god thank you App Store *2022-10-07, version 2.2* The guy with the circle on his head is cute but I think I the guy with the red shirt could have no hammers and just add blocks so...you might want to fix some things but thank you anyway ### 5/5 — I love it! *2022-09-10, version 2.2* I love this game because it doesn’t need internet and you can build and every time you make 7 worlds then you get something that is already made and you don’t have to but I Anything in the worlds! ### 5/5 — Super creative but *2021-11-08, version 2.0* I think this game is overall an amazing game! To me it’s a creative version of mindcraft! But I feel like it’s kind of hard to remember what each charactar does! And I feel like the character that rolls on a ball to color is super satisfying but it’s really hard to use! And the other paint tool is hard too! ### 5/5 — This game is awesome!! *2021-10-26, version 2.0* I’m been playing since I was 4 years old and I’m 17 and still playing ### 5/5 — two things wrong. *2021-07-18, version 2.0* don't get me wrong, this game is amazing. i think the way its complicated makes it more fun in a way. (if that makes sense) but the only things i dont like is that the character that builds cant jump. and the build height limit is six blocks. its a long shot but i think at least 20 blocks high should be the limit. maybe higher. but all that to the side, still, i love this game. ### 5/5 — Super cool! *2021-03-28, version 1.0.11* Love it. I am 35 and can't stop playing. My kids love it too. Very smart, well designed and cute. ### 5/5 — Maybe some fixes *2021-01-23, version 1.0.11* Amazing game but so many bugs!! I hope them to be fixed soon!! ### 5/5 — Amazingly awesome *2020-07-28, version 1.0.10* I would give this game 100 stars if I could so awesome and it allowed me to build and create as much as I wanted. it was so fun to be able to build so many different things and I love that there are levels that are already built so you can build onto them and make it even more amazing !!!!!!!!!though I do not like that you can only go six Bricks high. other than that this game is amazing!!!!!!🙂😝😀😃😄😆😁😄😃 ### 5/5 — 🥰AMAZING!🥰 *2020-07-17, version 1.0.10* So I got this app a while ago and was like okay cool whatever because it came in a pack with games I wanted. Then I started playing it and it's AWESOME! There's 6 characters that all do unique things so you can make anything! (I personally make houses for the characters.) There's even different terrains the world's can spawn! I got trees once- so cool! One complaint though: you can't move the chunky pink character that shoots paint. So it's kinda impossible to make him a house but other than that, great game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
