Peekaboo Barn for Negative User Reviews
✓ Where are the other languages?Bought this because it listed other world languages. My child has mandarin in school each day and she wanted apps to play sometimes. But they only list English and Spanish or record your own voice as options. How do you find the other language options I have no clue because the settings page is so short. I wish I didn’t buy the app package before I noticed this issue..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Not worth the moneyMy 20 month old daughter already knew most of the animal names and got confused by the rooster because she couldn't see the difference between that and the chicken. She completed the app in about 5 minutes flat..Version: 5.0.1
✓ What happened??? Please fix!This is one of my kids’ most favorite apps, and it just stopped working. First the app icon disappeared, and then it started crashing before we could even push the play button. I have deleted and reinstalled a few different times, but nothing changed. I see that the last update was a long time ago, but I wanted to share some feedback just in case someone sees it. I hope we can get it fixed!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Did it change?I just opened the app for my toddler today after a long while it just cycled through the animals over and over. It used to cycle through once and then would go through a “good night” sequence. It was my daughters favorite— did it get removed??.Version: 5.5.0
✓ No more sleep?I truly love this app as it can be engaging even for a six year old. My problem now is the animals no longer sleep at the end. This was an important feature of the app as it helps children know when it is over instead of never ending. Please please please bring back the nighttime. Thanks. Btw I’m happy to rate higher when nightime is back.Version: 5.5.0
✓ Sound doesn't work on iPad versionLong story short. Paid for this app twice (iPhone and iPad) and the sound doesn't work. Complete waste of money. iPad3..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Used to be goodUsed to be good, had most normal farm animals and did the cute sleeping thing at the end. Now has too many animals so daughter bored before getting through them all and it just goes round them again and doesn’t seem to ever get to the night time but..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Good distraction app horrible pronunciation of wordsThe app is really good and is perfect to distract my son for a few minutes. The reason I am giving it one star is because of the child they used a child voice with a lisp. Kids will begin to imitate the voices and will then, in turn, talk in a lisp as well. They need to redo the speech to have proper pronunciations of words. This is coming from a former teacher who dealt with children with speech problems..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Options BrokenBought this to use other languages. Seems like the app is broken since no matter if I follow the instructions, the options will not come up and I cannot change the language or record my own audio, etc. Very dissapointed, save your money..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Not really worth the moneyMy toddler likes it but there should be more animals , for the price.Version: 4.4.2
✓ Don't like the new splash screenI'll start by saying, my daughter loves all the peekaboo apps and at the tender age of 18 months, was recognizing and naming the animals. These apps are great! My only complaint - the new splash screen. Adding 3 seconds and an unfamiliar screen during start-up has thrown my daughter. She thinks she has the wrong app and shuts it down. I know it sounds silly, but is this new screen and startup routine really necessary???.Version: 4.3.0
✓ PLEASE fix problemI've used peekaboo barn for years as part of therapy sessions and highly recommend it to families I work with. Recently it won't end. It just keeps repeating the animals and doesn't go to "goodnight". I deleted it and re-bought it in the package couple days ago and it does the same thing. PLEASE PLEASE HELP.Version: 5.5.0
✓ American crapDon't waste your money. Thought I would buy this and load it onto an iPod touch 1st gen I found as a nice surprise for my 18 month old daughter to mess about with.... 30 seconds in "Rooster". What? It's a feckin Hen you developer plebs. Useless. Stick it up...... Do not buy..Version: 4.3.7
✓ Doesn’t work correctly anymoreWhen I first purchased the app it used to cycle through the animals and then say everybody and switch to night and then they were all sleeping and the game was over. It no longer does that, now the animals just repeat. Tried deleting and reinstalling and that didn’t work. Please fix..Version: 5.5.0
✓ CrashesPretty useless as it crashes most of the time my daughter hits the screen..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Great app with a few issuesThis app would be 5 stars if it had a locking feature to actually keep in 15mo IN the app. I've seen this with Zoodles and Kid Mode in the past--parents have to type mm/dd to exit and it keeps those little fingers from pocket dialing or sending jumbled texts. As soon as my daughter realized how to talk to Siri, she's out in two seconds flat and browsing the Internet. Second issue is the baby talk. I know you can fix this in the settings, but it's just not as entertaining hearing an adult in a monotone voice..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Initial version was far betterSince I purchased this app characters and visuals changed a lot - for worse. Now I wouldn't spend the money, not worth it.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Good but....This is a nice little game but it's far too expensive for what you get. It's very short which is fine but it's overpriced and there are far better apps out there for toddlers that are free. If I'd known I wouldn't have bought this, I'd advise you save your money and go for something else unless they improve it or make it better value..Version: 0
✓ What happened???Had the lite version for ages and loved it. Finally upgraded to the full version and now the sound on both versions doesn't work..Version: 4.1.2
✓ No longer worksWorked for few weeks after purchasing but now crashes without opening despite reinstalling. Very disappointing.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Never endsBought this. Used to be a favourite in our house… but it now just goes round and round without the end scene. Such a shame..Version: 5.5.0
✓ CrashesCrashes as soon as it starts? It used to work fine..Version: 5.1.0
✓ App won’t open.My daughter fell in love with this game after playing it on her cousins tablet. I tried to download it on both my phone and ipad, paid for it on both and the app will not open. I downloaded the free ‘lite’ version and it only has 3 animals and then is done, there’s an option to upgrade but it won’t allow me to. Thankfully it was only $2 but still, I waisted $4 paying for it on two devices and it doesn’t even work. It opens, says peek a boo and then shuts down and goes back to my phone/ipad Home Screen....Version: 5.1.0
✓ Poor.....no sound.I bought this as has the option for European languages.the original English has no sound and the upgraded French had no sound!.Version: 4.2.0
✓ GoodA nice app my 16 month son loves it will get 5 stars if free upgrade with more animals is offered.Version: 0
✓ Voices are not good speech modelsI'm not sure why people think its cute to use little lids voices to talk on these apps. The pronunciation of the animal names is either hard to discriminate because they are exaggerating the word (pig) or the child has a speech problem (seep for sheep or r distortions). As a speech therapist I feel that true apps are often used to teach vocabulary and every effort should be made to make sure the words are pronounced correctly. Using little kids is just a bad idea..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Too SimpleThis app is way too simple even for a two year old. We just started our two year old on apps so it doesn't take much to entertain her yet but this app manages to loose her interest within just a minute. It only does two things, opens two barn doors and shows an animal picture. Toddlers can't read so the words do nothing for them. I wouldn't bother with this game as it really isn't even a game..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Not for ages above 2!There is no true interactivity or creativity to this app. It’s just one tap per page, then you see the animal and its name, hear a typical sound, and hear the name. No options (such as don’t show the name so the child has a chance to say it, or don’t show the spelling). No exploring and getting different results. It’s almost as passive as television. I would never have bought the app if the description had been clear or if it had included a sample video. I bought a peekaboo bundle as my first purchase to amuse a four year old, and I was so disappointed because it was a waste of money. I was fooled by the 4+ age rating, which I now guess is the youngest rating on the Apple store. I think any child over two would be instantly bored by this app. It’s not properly called a game, since the kid has nothing to do..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Good app 1 negativeI wish when they say the animal it was an adult saying it, instead of a baby. I bought this app for my child to learn how to say words/animals and I find when the baby says it you cannot always understand each syllable..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Update crashingThis update crashes every time, 2-3 secs after starting the app (on iPhone 5) and the problem is not resolved by a device reset..Version: 5.0.0
✓ JunkDoesn't load... Crashes every time I start the app. Complete waste of money..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Why did you change it?I have loved this app for about 9 months. I have been using it with my son since he was 6 mths old to learn the signs, names and sounds of farm animals. I have raved to everyone about it. But this recent change is awful. The animals are not really any longer identifiable as the animal they represent. With the weird eyes they look like some kind of bratz version of animals. The cat for example looks like some kind of alien. My kid has been playing with this app for 9 mths and when it changed he no longer seemed to be able to identify the animals. I don't intend to play it with him anymore because I think it will be confusing now. The books and flash cards and other things we use show clearer representations of animals. Thank you for the great app for the last few months. If you change it back I will continue to use it - but in this format I think it will be more harmful than helpful to his development..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Great app, please fixMy baby daughter loves this app, but it has stopped working recently and either freezes or runs continuously without reaching the end scene. PLEASE fix these bugs! I would give it 5 star if it worked properly..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Change it backSuch a shame you changed it. Animals are unrealistic and my child has difficulty knowing what they are. Also the way the children pronounce the names of the animals is terrible. My child copies what they say and it is just incorrect. Had to stop him playing with it. Shame it was a great game..Version: 5.1.0
✓ A good startBoth my boys (aged 1 and 2) like this game. It is cute. It doesn't hold their attention for very long though, as it is very repetitive and there is no variation in the animals (other than the order they appear). My suggestions for the game is: -Add more animals with updates -have a couple different animations and audio samples for each animal. My 2 year old gets frustrated by the cute voice because it 'mispronounces' words. It is very cute to hear him correcting the game consantly ("not Roosta - Rooster!") but he ultimately gets frustrated and randomly selecting from a couple different audio wouldn't hurt. -be able to open the barn door by swiping sideways (like photos) as well as tapping. The sideways swipe was my 2 yr old's first instinct and he tried it many times, and it could work well in addition to how it works now. Mostly minor stuff - the bottom line is that you'll get a couple mins max of entertainment out of this one. That may or may not be worth it for you..Version: 0
✓ Fun App For Toddler But Has Issues…I was having fun using this app with my toddler at first, then we tried adding our own recordings. When I selected his voice recordings, it wouldn’t work, it only made the animal sound. I tried switching all of the options on and off, no luck. It seems to only work with the pre-recorded audio. Bummer, hopefully this can be fixed..Version: 5.5.0
✓ Cute app but..This is a very cute app, but I wish the animals' names were being pronounced correctly. The child they have speaking may be cute, but I feel like it's doing the kids a disservice by not saying the names correctly. My 18 month old son does love the animal noises and opening the barn door. It's very cute and he is certainly entertained by it..Version: 5.1.0
✓ DisappointedI’m a Speech-Language Pathologist and I work with preschool aged children (between the ages of birth to school-entry). I bought this app to use with the children on my caseload. I wanted to use it as a listening activity (e.g. listen to the animal sound and figure out what animal it is) then have the child I am working with name the animal before opening the barn door. I am very disappointed with the voices that are naming the animals. The number of sound errors made in the pronunciations provide a poor model for the children on my caseload whom I want to provide clear word models to. With the app as it is, I will not be using it in my therapy. I had hoped this would be a great app that I could recommend to my colleagues, but unfortunately I will not be able to do that..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Peekaboo GoneMy toddler loved this but now it just doesn't open.........all gone.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Simple fun toddler appLove the app, all of my children have used this so I downloaded for my 2 year old. Works great but so incredibly frustrating that there is NO APP IMAGE. You would think it would be an easy fix uninstall app reinstall etc but it doesn’t fix the problem. Annoyed I paid $2 and don’t have a pic so we can find easily in our App Library. PLEASE UPDATE!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ My son loves this appPronunciation of the words and the voice however needs to be changed. The child's voice may be cute but would prefer my son not to pick it up. Would give this a higher rating if not for that issue..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Too shortGreat concept delivered well, but too short for the price..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Needs more..Cute, but the entertainment value runs out quickly (like the first 5 minutes). It needs something more - maybe a guessing game, or something else that would help to keep a child interested. As it is now, once you have seen all of the animals nothing else happens to keep your interest..Version: 0
✓ Why doesn’t it end anymore??I love this app but it used to only go for a few minutes, once it cycled through every animal it would have the animals go to sleep. What happened? Now it never ends, it just goes and goes. The goal of the game used to be to get to the sleeping, now there is no closure..Version: 5.5.0
✓ No soundDisappointed, sound not working!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Needs to do moreThis is a good game my 19 month old loves it however it is expensive for what it does should be 59p.Version: 0
✓ Parents can’t possibly have reviewed this appBecause if they had, parents would have asked for kids who can actually pronounce the words to say the animals’ names. That’s my one irritation, but what else is this app teaching them other than animal names? So when they say “seep” instead of “sheep,” I want to throttle someone. Just get a kid that can actually say the names to say them! Is that so hard?! You’re basically teaching them the wrong words..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Quite good!Application in itself is quite good but limited farm animals makes it short in duration..Version: 0
✓ Not worth the money for any child over 1Perhaps a 8 month old with good dexterity might enjoy the game.Version: 4.3.7
✓ Don’t botherI downloaded this on my phone for my grandson and it won’t even open. It gets to the title page and disappears. I deleted from my phone and re-downloaded thinking maybe there was a problem with the download, but it still won’t open. I know it’s not my phone because when this app wouldn’t open, I downloaded a different app and it opened without any issues..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Not worth itMy 2yr old sin grew tired of this app very very quickly. There is not much to it but clicking on a barn and trying to figure out what animal is inside by the sound. When you click on the barn you see the animal and a child tells you the animal. A few words the child pronounces the words very poorly. All in all, I wasn't impressed at all. Safe your money!.Version: 4.3.5
✓ Used to workNow just crashes upon starting. My baby misses it..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Needs more animalsTitle says it all. Not worth £1.19, simply needs to include more animals..Version: 0
