There are a lot of boring apps out there: This is not one of them! ### 2/5 — So-so *2013-08-06, version 1.1.1* A little boring. Good for two and three year olds ### 2/5 — Pretty lame *2013-08-05, version 1.1.1* My child loves the wheels on the bus song and after reading about this app on a kids blog I bought it for her. It is pretty boring and not very close to what is described. You can touch different characters through the song, but it gets old fast. ### 5/5 — One of my son's favorites *2013-07-20, version 1.1.1* My son loves this app. It is definitely one of his two favorites (the other is the Duck Duck Moose Old MacDonald app!) We are very happy with the quality of the animation and the amount of interactivity. As a music teacher I am pleased to hear good vocal technique in the singing. My only small complaint is the horn on the bus is not included. That is my son's favorite part of the song. ### 4/5 — Wheels on the bus *2013-06-10, version 1.1.1* Great. Simple for our kids to use. ### 4/5 — Great! *2013-05-31, version 1.1.1* Fantastic, interactive, user-friendly e-book. ### 5/5 — The school bus *2013-05-23, version 1.1.1* 5 ### 5/5 — Great kids app! *2013-05-14, version 1.1.1* Found this app to be very useful in entertaining little ones, recommend it to all parents and caregivers! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-05-10, version 1.1.1* Great app for kids, this keeps my two entertained for ages!! ### 5/5 — Wheel on the Bus *2013-04-20, version 1.1.1* A really great game! My little girl has been playing it since she was 2 and is still captivated at 3.5 years. Great interface for children. ### 2/5 — Language Song Choice Menu Gone *2013-04-15, version 1.1.1* After recent ios update no longer able to change the song and it is stuck in a non-english version. Not the version we had it set to. As an app my 3 under the age of 6 love it. I was disappointed after purchase that the song is so short when it could have had many more screens and could have more of a minigame feel as opposed to just click a picture and it moves a little... However the kids do like it and kept coming back until this bug! ### 3/5 — It's great...if sound. Seems to be a bug. *2013-03-10, version 1.1* It was awesome. My 2 yrs loved it, but now we can't get the sound to work. Bummer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPad *2025-08-12, version 2.2.3* When played on iPad, it is stretched and cropped. iPhone version is terrible. UPDATE: gregbriandavis says on iPhone fish school review, “there’s no fixing it with changing the orientation either.” UPDATE 2: this bug also happens with Jerry and Tom iPhone. HD is better. gregbriandavis’ review, (explained in last update) was correct! ### 1/5 — Facts are wrong! Do not buy! *2013-12-14, version 2.0.3* We purchased half a dozen of this company's apps for our kids. I took my three year old today to find a book on rainbows today, and he confidently informed me that the book is wrong because the Duck Duck Moose Itsy Bitsy Spider app says turquoise and purple are colors of the rainbow!! So I asked him to show me -- and indeed, the app incorrectly teaches the colors as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, TURQUOISE and PURPLE!! I haven't taken the time to count how many more factual errors there are in all their apps, but I am deleting all of the Duck Duck Moose company's apps from my kids iPads and from my iPhone. Misinformation is worse than no information!! ### 1/5 — Bad singing *2013-05-08, version 1.1.1* I'm no singer but both the male and female voices are awful on this app. Yuck! And the app needs to be easier to use for the kiddos. ### 1/5 — Horrible voices *2013-05-04, version 1.1.1* OMG!!! As a dad that sings to my son at bedtime - I can't believe for a paid app - the female AND male voices are disgusting, sloppy, and off beat. It literally sounds like they're joking around...wipers on the bus should sound like "swish swish swish"...instead she sings it (phonetically) as "swish...ssssswisss...sssssss". As if she gave up on the words and loses the beat - only to rush through the next line to catch up. PLEASE DON'T BUY EVEN FOR A CENT. Apple AppStore should be really ashamed for selling this app. ### 1/5 — Sad day *2013-03-21, version 1.1* Freezing on start up... ### 1/5 — Sound doesn't work *2013-03-10, version 1.1* I've installed and reinstalled 3x and still the sound doesn't work. Even though the cost is only $0.99, the sound not working makes this app worthless. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Music *2013-03-09, version 1.1* Is there no sound to this app or is it just not working? If there is no sound then it is an awful app. Would be fun with music. I'm using the game on my iPhone, maybe this is why? ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2013-03-07, version 1.1* I can't get the sound to work. I changed settings, etc. what a waste. Someone please help me fix this. My kid still likes it, but I have to sing! ### 1/5 — Wheels review *2012-11-18, version 1.1* My 2 year-old was bored immediately. ### 1/5 — Music fail *2012-10-01, version 1.1* My download had no sound. )-: Very disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wheels on The Bus Song for Kids *2026-07-17* A game you sing and learn about different parts of a bus on different kinds of school bus song ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-07-04* I downloaded this app for my first child and am still using it for my 3rd! Love that it’s free, simple and easy for the kids at any age to use and that they can listen to “Wheels on the Bus” wherever we go! It’s also not overstimulating, almost more like an online version of a pop-up book. Love this and am so appreciative to the developers ❤️ ### 5/5 — Added Version 2.2.4: Baby (Wah), Mommy (Shh), Horn (Beep), Signals (Blink), motor (Vroom) *2025-12-12* Newest version of wheels on the bus by duck duck moose ### 5/5 — Add Version 2.2.4: Baby (Wah), Mommy (Shh), Horn (Beep), Signals (Blink), Engine (Vroom) *2025-12-04* Yes ### 5/5 — One of the best ever! *2024-02-14* Babies love it. I’ve found it helpful to re-direct a restless child for a few moments - just long enough to get back into exploring, ### 5/5 — Literally the best app ever *2022-06-26* BUS is literally the best app ever created. I cannot imagine a more soothing, reassuring, educational, and interactive experience. I cannot recommend highly enough; without BUS, my life would become a shallow, empty husk of its former self. It has soothed me for over a decade. Thank you, Duck Duck Moose— I am forever in your debt. ### 5/5 — Simple and nice *2020-08-01, version 2.2.2* The game is simple and easy to use. Suitable for 2 to 3 years old kids. There are multiple music tracks which we can teach the kids about violin and trio and more. Good time killer for kids when they are bored. ### 5/5 — KHAN ACADEMY *2017-03-12* I always use khan academy 😊 ### 5/5 — Interactive fun *2014-06-03, version 2.0.3* My children love how the interactions this app allows. From bringing the illustrations to life on each page, to changing the music. ### 5/5 — Love *2014-05-11, version 2.0.3* Duck dick moose apps never disappoint! Only complaint is the sound button. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
