### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-09-19, version 1.2.4*

I think that there should be more space to fly around but it’s a good game you get to pick your own body parts

### 4/5 — Fun

*2018-03-22, version 1.2.4*

I enjoying playing this but I wish my robot could have matching parts. I don’t like that I have a limited selection.

### 3/5 — So short, but I love it

*2014-09-15, version 1.1.1*

You should make the game more interesting by making an extension. Like, show where it goes after test flying. Does it go to space or a lab or what? And you should also be able to save pictures of your robots so if you make one that looks cool, you can save it forever(until you delete the picture) .
I docked off two points because you need to work harder on this game! Other than these things, I love the game.

Rock on!

### 5/5 — My children love all Toca Boca apps

*2014-01-01, version 1.1.1*

I'm leaving this review in light of the many negative reviews from the "12 Days of Gifts" debacle. Toca Boca makes some of the best apps designed for children. My daughters, ages 5 and 4, love playing with this and every other Toca Boca app. They are engaging and have great sound and visual design. We love Toca Boca apps.

### 4/5 — Simple, but entertaining

*2013-12-30, version 1.1.1*

I played this with a pair of 5-6 year old brothers I as watching, and they loved it. We played for about half an hour, as I was winding them down for the evening, and it worked great. They were engaged, but it was calm. I'm certain they could've gone for at least twice as long if I'd let them.

### 5/5 — turn on easy mode for less frustration

*2013-12-30, version 1.1.1*

our toddler twin boys love this app.

I saw another reviewer requesting the ability to save pictures of your robot — just show her how to take a screenshot by pressing the sleep button and home button at the same time.

### 5/5 — Toca Robot Lab

*2013-05-01, version 1.1.1*

Toca Robot Lab is awesome. I am sure that is how my son would describe it since he goes to this app again and again, even though we have had it for many months and we have hundreds of apps. He is 4 and can navigate Toca Robot Lab like it was made especially for him!
The graphics are clean and high quality. The music is perfect for the app. He does not know all of the things he is learning as he flies his robot creation through the maze, knocking things down, rolling balls, and finding the stars before heading to the magnet. Cause and effect, physics, and more!
He loves to play this app both on the iPod and iPad, so it is definitely a WINNER.

### 5/5 — Well designed simple app ideal for 1-5 year olds

*2012-12-23, version 1.1.1*

Well designed simple app ideal for 1-5 year olds, young kids can easily build then fly their newly built robots. The build allows kids to create a simple out of spare parts and flying/testing section develops motor skills (as they explore simple maze with 3 hidden stars)

We have most of the Toca Boca apps, both free and paid apps, for my two girls. They are incredibly well designed and as a result are both simple & addictive. The games are so popular in our house that our 1 YO's third & forth words were Toca Boca ;)

My Kids Top 5 Toca Boca Apps:

- Toca Robot
- Toca Monsters 
(same as Toca Kitchens)
- Toca Doctor

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — This app keeps freezing

*2019-12-06, version 1.2.4*

When my son plays with it and he is trying to move the pieces up it keeps freezing. I have to keep exiting out of the app and coming back in. I notice when I move the pieces I don’t have an issue. The problem is my son gets excited and tries to swipe them all up and then it freezes. This is a poorly developed app.

### 1/5 — I do not know what to rate it

*2019-05-29, version 1.2.4*

Well Toca robot lab has nothing well somethings to do but I would want a refund it is pretty boring so one star this is a very bad game sorry Toca Boca But this game is the most dumb app ever

### 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!

### 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!

### 2/5 — Refund please

*2017-01-21, version 1.2.3*

To advance please return my funds

### 2/5 — What am I missing?

*2014-02-28, version 1.1.1*

Prior Toca Apps had so much more you could do. After my four year old built the robot, went through the three star maze, and then was taken back to beginning that was it. What? Really? I actually said there has to be more to do this is Toca. Unfortunately, there is not. My son still likes it but he doesn't play as long as he does with other content full Toca apps. I don't blame him as it can get repetitive. I expected much more from Toca. Fill your apps with more content or lower the price. You're ripping off your loyal customers.

### 2/5 — 😒Not your best work Toca

*2013-09-07, version 1.1.1*

I think you should be able to paint the robots after you build it. I also think you should be able to save a picture of your robot. And it would be nice to know where your robot goes after testing like, space or something and it could show you a pic of your robot doing its job. Sorry toca, but this is disappointing, I have almost all of your apps and I LOVE  them and would love to see an update on this app featuring all the things I said if possible. NOT YOUR BEST WORK! 😒

### 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:👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

### 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!!🥰

### 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 🤖

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2018-11-18, version 1.2.4*

As a fellow ten year old that has annoying little brothers, this game is perfect for me. Using my creative potential calms me down after a hard day of “BLEH BLEH BLEH UR STUPID AND DUMB BLEH BLEH BLEH” . Five stars! I’m SUCH a big fan of your Toca games and it would be AMAZINGGGG if they were all free.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2016-03-10, version 1.2.1*

My two year old son loves this game. He was going through a phase where he was afraid of robots eating him at night, but with the help of this app and the Iron Giant he's gotten over some of his night terrors.

I love that you can drag the robot pieces anywhere in the box and they float into place. Other apps result in me sitting there putting puzzle pieces into place for him. 

An option to go back and change your mind might be nice, because sometimes he picks the wrong head and gets mad he can't change it. I love that you win every time regardless of whether you collect the stars.

At the end of each round, he yells, "Goodbye Big Robot!" I'm really glad I downloaded this.

### 5/5 — Toca Boca Robot Lab

*2015-06-24, version 1.2.1*

This game is so cool! You build your own robot and you have to play this mini game and earn stars. Then, you have this clipboard at the end with your records. You can also snapshot your robot! This is worth your money!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-10-08, version 1.2*

This app is really and I hope remaining free for all kids out there. Bringing creativity and logic to kids. Make them think where to find all the star to pass each level

### 5/5 — super adorable!

*2014-09-29, version 1.2*

My 4 year old likes the game, and I love games that will entertain her in a safe way. I am a person that loves creativity and imagination, especially through play. And this game is great. There are no rules, no in app purchases or locked extras. Just plain fun with kids in mind. Thanx Toca Boca!

### 5/5 — Toca Boca = LoveLoveLove!

*2014-09-25, version 1.2*

I love Toca Boca apps. LOVE Toca Boca apps, did I say it loud enough? Just downloaded this one for the 3 year old, he found it right away and already loves it. My older girls also enjoy these. (I have a few now). I think it's the "doing". Not a game with specific, linear objectives and rewards, YOU build, YOU create, YOU play and that is an underrated reward, all unto itself, for kids. The colours and design are wonderful. The sounds are superb. Did I mention that I enjoy a go at Toca apps every now and again? LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2014-01-05, version 1.1.1*

My son is 3 and he loves building robots but gets lost on the maze screen, so he just exits the app and starts it again. After a year, I've just discovered there’s a simple mode that you need to go to “Preferences” to turn on. Could have been easier to find!
