### 2/5 — Minimal features

*2023-05-20*

I was expecting more ways to play. After you get your report, there should be another level to play.  Endless options for robots is a bit of a stretch given there are four options for each part.  Toca apps cost the same and yet vary so much in amount of play.  When compared to Toco Elements, this app lacks so much!

### 5/5 — SUPER AWESOME App but…

*2022-10-06, version 1.2.4*

Ok I think the game is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻but sometimes when I create the robot it just shows a black screen and when it goes away it gives me 0 out of 3⭐️’s. Please fix it.
But other than that:👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

### 2/5 — It needs more

*2022-01-28, version 1.2.4*

So I play this game sometimes. But when I try to take a picture of my awesome robot… i accidentally turn my iPod off. And I can’t get the robots back because the game restarts. And this game just really needs an update. Thanks for reading!

### 4/5 — Still a good game!

*2021-11-08, version 1.2.4*

I’m not really gonna judge it because this is a old game, but still pretty good game! I don’t know if it’s worth your buck! Just depends on what your kid is in to.

### 5/5 — No joke

*2021-09-21, version 1.2.4*

BRO this gives me soooooooo much nostalgia I used to play this when I was a small child!!🥰

### 1/5 — It’s not the best

*2021-04-07, version 1.2.4*

I usually LOVE Toca body but this game is just boring.

### 5/5 — Like flappy bird but a drunk robotic bird

*2021-01-03, version 1.2.4*

Uhhhhhhh I just wrote this review because I love the app and also I love the graphics and the way you move and how u can choose the way u build the robot 🤖

### 1/5 — Volume is not working for us in the app. Disappointed and dissatisfied.

*2020-11-20, version 1.2.4*

Volume is not working for us in the app. We do have it on an older iPhone but I didn’t think that would matter when I paid for it. Volume on other apps work so it seems to be this one in particular. If there is a setting I am not aware of I would love to hear back from the developer. And I will update my rating if this gets fixed.

### 1/5 — No longer opening

*2020-08-01, version 1.2.4*

My son loves this game but it has stopped opening on my phone.

### 4/5 — LOVE IT, but has bugs that need fixing

*2020-06-11, version 1.2.4*

Absolutely love this sweet game.  I adore all your Toca Bock apps.  My son has some cognitive, speech, and motor limitations and it’s simplicity is great for him.  However, there are some bugs I’d love to see fixed on this particular app.

When creating the robot, if he does not pull the body part completely up quick enough, dragged to the right place, or if he has another finger on the screen it gets frozen in place and the only way to fix it is to completely exit out of the game and start over. This seems to happen most often with arms and legs, but it has happened with head and body as well.  

This is my sons favorite game, so I’d love to see this fixed.
