Peekaboo Forest for Negative User Reviews

Pretty but mehBeautifully designed but needs more to it. My 20 month old got bored after 2 rounds through the seasons..Version: 1.1.1

LameNothing like peekaboo barn. Stay away.Version: 1.5.0

Pretty, but not engaging for toddlersMy 16 month old twins love Peekaboo Barn & Wild but Forest doesn't keep their attention. Sometimes it's very hard to find the hiding animal which defeats the purpose of the game. Also needs better sounds....Version: 1.1.1

DisappointingDoesn't follow the original layout, My son lost interest before the game was over. I would like to see more peekaboo apps that follow the same layout as the first two apps. Ideas such as peek a boo jungle and peek a boo Antarctica..Version: 1.1.0

Not as goodNot as good as the barn or wild titles but still okay ..Version: 1.1.0

Not worth the hypeBeautiful pictures. Crappy app. Boring for toddlers..Version: 1.5.0

Skews older than barn and wildUnlike peekaboo barn and wild, some of the critters are too small for the youngest kids (15 months) to see (iPhone and iPod touch), but the older ones (3, 5, and me!) like the pictures a lot more.Version: 1.2.0

Peekaboo ForestVery disappointing. The graphics are very appealing and the sounds are good, however the interaction is very poor. The animals appear in a fixed sequence and, when you click to show an animal, the sound and name follow immediately so there is no opportunity for the child to name the animal before they are told. I bought it to use with my grandchildren but will delete it. It would just have them poking at the screen with no real learning. It doesn't provide any worthwhile learning. Too bad there is no way to try apps without buying. It's only a couple of bucks but I feel ripped off..Version: 1.1.0

Not as good as barn and wildIt seems the creators forgot that this app is for very young children and toddlers and I'm sure my toddler doesn't appreciate these arty graphics. She got bored of it in 2 seconds but would happily play with peekaboo barn for ages. It needs big colourful images like the other 2 apps..Version: 1.1.1

Good app, but not what was expectedI'm looking forward to the next peekaboo that is like Barn and Wild. My son really enjoys those. This one was to difficult for him to understand..Version: 1.1.0

Waste of moneyBought it on the stength if Peekaboo Barn and Peekaboo Wild, nowhere near as good! Waste of money, 59p would've been more appropriate. The graphics are pretty dire and my two year old is bored of it after playing with it once.Version: 1.0.0

Stick with peek a boo barnI am a special education prek teacher. My students have very limited speech. They love love love peek a boo barn and will do the animal sounds. Peek a boo forest while still cute is not as good. The animals are harder to find and my students can't be as independent with this one. Disappointing..Version: 1.1.1

Peekaboo Barn and Wild much better for toddlersMy 19-month-old son absolutely LOVES Peekaboo Barn and Peekaboo Wild. Those are the only 2 apps that he really "plays" at his young age. Maybe he'll like Peekaboo Forest when he's a few years older, but for now I'm left wishing I could get my $1.99 back. I really wish this one was more like the other 2..Version: 1.1.1

Educational DisappointmentNice design does not make up for the fixed flow, limited replay value and lack of any significant educational content..Version: 1.1.0

Much worse than peekaboo barn/wildMy baby loves peekaboo barn and wild so I thought they would like this one too. Very different concept with the animals all over. One part it said "deer" for 4 other animals that were not deer. The music is boring and I don't like the whole season idea. I wish they would do it the same as the others but with forest animals. Very disapointed:(.Version: 1.1.1

Skip itMy son loves peekaboo barn and wild. Peekaboo forest just doesn't have the same feeling. The art is much more "artistic" and much less cartoony, which is a bad thing for a young child if you want them to play with it. The music suffers from the same flaw. It is not fun music like we heard in wild and barn. I'd return it if the app store allowed it..Version: 1.1.1

Artsy, but way boring for a toddlerWe're huge fans of Peekaboo Barn & Wild so we decided to give this one a try. Color scheme is boring/stark, many animals are very hard to see moving or small and my son lost interest almost immediately. It's very artistic; I can appreciate it as an adult, but it's not for a toddler. I have a few friends who are also fans of the Peekaboo series and it came up in discussion the other day. We also agreed it's a waste of $$$..Version: 1.1.0

Expected more after peekaboo barn & peekaboo wildWe (I and my 2 year old) loved the peekaboo barn and peekaboo wild apps, got the forest...ehmmmm...it's not bad, but why did they change the voice over from cute little kid to a female voice from the evening news? dunno...we definitely liked the kid's voice better..Version: 1.1.1

Cute but not as good as othersI thought this app would b similar to the Peekaboo Wild and Barn but it wasn't. I should have looked closer but I just assumed and ordered it. The graphics are so beautiful but they r broken up by season and some are pretty small and hard to really see. It will b nice for when my son is older but I think I wasted money on it..Version: 1.1.1

Not goodNot as good as peekaboo barn or wild. They worked so well cus they were simple. You need a big objects covering the animal it needs to be more obvious for a child to keep focus.Version: 1.0.0

Had high hopes. Fell way shortThe graphics in this one are vastly different than the others and seem “rushed” just to get the app out. Too much going on and only half the animals shows are good representation. Also some of the animals are very small. For winter, why oh why would you put a frog? Also, why choose a weasel but not a wolf or a bear in any of the seasons? Common forest animal that every child thinks of. I’ve had peekaboo barn for ten years now and just discovered the other apps. Peekaboo barn was simple. The continuous barn background wasn’t a distraction and easy to make out the animals pictured. I was hoping the same would be for the forest one, even if it showed different seasons. I hope the makers of the app take the time revamp this one. It could be so much better..Version: 1.6.0

Waste of moneyI'm very disappointed in the lack of content for an app that costs twice as much as many that have much more to offer. It's buggy, too fixed in how to interact with it, and there's barely any content at all. The preview screenshots are practically a full view. I rarely feel ripped off with apps, but this one is one I wish I could get a refund for..Version: 1.1.1

Too limitedQuickly became tired of it..Version: 1.1.1

Not as good as other Peekaboo titlesBeautiful artwork but not enough content to hold a toddlers gaze. Too short and just doesn't have the same magic as other Peekaboo apps. Would love to see an update address length and original spirit of games. Any chance of Peekaboo Ocean?.Version: 1.1.0

Cute, but slightly more difficult than the othersThis app is adorable - we have both Peekaboo Farm and Wild. My two year old adores them. However, Forest features smaller, less visible creatures that make it harder for a young child to tap with their fingers or see on the screen. That's the only drawback..Version: 1.1.1

Not worth itNot worth the cost. Doesn't keep toddlers interested and not interactive for young children. Also music is not very child friendly. Pictures are nice but don't waste your money..Version: 1.5.0

Waste of MoneyThis is not an app a toddler would appreciate. My son found it boring and scary. Peekaboo barn is best. Wish this app was cuter and more entertaining. Also, the voices aren’t very well done..Version: 1.6.0

New version not workingThis review is for the updated version. There are many glitches now. Every page has an additional graphic that is moving, frustrating my 2-year old to no end. (FYI, they are the butterfly, chipmunk tail, woodpecker...then he shut it off when the winter scene came around again.) This is normally a beautiful, captivating app for the youngest members of the family (4 stars only because we'd like to see more for the price we paid), but until it's fixed, I'm taking it off our iPad..Version: 1.2.0

Too ambitious?There are aspects of this app I really like - the changing seasons is a great idea, and unlike Peekaboo Wild the game gives more idea of the scale of animals and what they get up to in their forest habitat. On the other hand this sometimes means animals are rendered very small and you need to be looking out for where they're concealed. And the graphics seem to have been created to please an illustration afficionado, not a toddler. I think they're gorgeous, my kids prefer the chunky primary colours of previous Peekaboo Apps. Finally, the ending is very abrupt! None of the happy animals-together goodnight scenes which rounded previous apps off so well! This is an ambitious attempt to bring a particular kind of pitcture book to the iPhone and it's a tweak or two away from being really good. But it's pitched a year or so older than the other two Peekaboo Apps so bear that in mind..Version: 1.0.0

Underwhelming and less educationalOur family lives by the national Forest in Flagstaff, so I was excited about this second peekaboo game. But it was a big disappointment for me. There's not much content, it is not randomized, and the animals often are not fully shown. The developers really need to revisit this game, and flesh it out more..Version: 1.2.1

Where is support? Where's Peekaboo Farm Day?Where is support? Where is Peekaboo Farm Day?.Version: 1.6.0

No menu, choiceThis app is not as easy to use, you don't get to choose where to go. The animals are too small to see well. i love Charlie Harper, but these animals do a disservice to his illustrations. No real interaction for child to feel engaged. Disappointed.Version: 1.5.0

Others are better!This one is included in the group of peekaboos but it shouldn't be.. wayyyy to different & not in a good way. Animals are to hard to spot, to small, & since when is a frog out in the winter?! If you're gonna buy one get peekaboo barn or wild..Version: 1.1.1

Not as good as the othersI really like many of the other Night & Day studios apps for my toddler. This one doesn't hold his attention. Maybe its because is less familiar animals....Version: 0

Not as good as Peekaboo Barn!My one-year-old loves Peekaboo Barn, so I bought the package to get four other Peekaboo apps. He does not like any of the other Peekaboo apps like he does Peekaboo Barn. The other ones just aren’t as fun. I would not suggest getting the package..Version: 1.6.0

Regretting PurchaseI've bought the PeekaBoo Sesame Street, Refrigerator and Barn for my 10 month old (which he LOVES!). But this one requires very fine hand movements and very controlled eye/hand coordination so it's not appropriate for his age (But I think it would be boring for older children). The images don't have a wide range of colour and it announces just 3 out of 4 seasons with very bizarre music for children. Not a good addition to the PeekaBoo app series..Version: 1.5.0

Not as goodYou’d think that with people complaining about this for 7+ years that they would have redesigned this app to be more like Peekaboo Barn or Wild, but it seems they’ve decided to ride the coattails of the other two and depend on parents to buy this app because they like the others even though it’s terrible. Not nearly as eye catching or interesting as the other two. They tried to make it super artistic but it’s just not geared towards children. Very frustrated that I spent money on this because it was a waste..Version: 1.6.0

Not barnGraphics are beautiful but didn't grab my little ones attention. Sound cues were also sparse. They also announce the names quickly beating my little one to the punch. not my favorite but glad I have nonetheless..Version: 1.1.0

Love the look and the idea!Would like to see a new version with randomization so the child is surprised and more interaction. But the graphics and sound are lovely and a nice change from other, more obnoxious preschool apps..Version: 1.1.0

For the iPad not iPhoneOk as a toy but very different to the others in the series - arty and not as much fun. Some of the animals are very small indeed and don't show up well on an iPhone..Version: 1.1.0

Just not goodMy daughter loves the other versions of Peekaboo but this one she just isn't interested in. It's incredibly slow and quiet, the animals don't make very exciting sounds (which was her favorite part of the other games). I would highly recommend purchasing the other games and not this one..Version: 1.5.0

Beautiful, howeverUnlike Peekaboo Barn and Wild, which feel better aimed at an under two crowd, this version is a little too nuanced to be as engrossing. Our eager likes it, just differently. Also, a particular gripe: Why is there a frog in the winter season? All other animals seem seasonally appropriate. Please change this..Version: 1.2.1
