Learn & Play by Fisher-Price for Negative User Reviews
✓ I miss the old appsThis app is so disappointing. It doesn’t have any of the old app activities that he loved, and the new activities are really boring to kid his age. The old apps were perfect for him; they responded to every touch of the screen and every jostle of the phone. I’m so sad they took the apps away. The new activities require him to be better at operating a touch screen than he is, and most of the “activities” are just videos. He has plenty of videos to watch. He loves actually being able to interact with apps and see them respond to him like the old apps did..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Bring back shapes and coloursPlease please please can you add the shapes and colours content to the app? I noticed you finally added the sing along nursery rhymes that are a close s you will probably get to the original, much better app but I don’t see why you needed to add really naff voices and music to the rest of the app. My sons life would feel complete if you could bring back the shapes and colours app as part of this one. The music was lovely and gentle rather than highly irritating as it is now and the fact he could hold and move the shapes around himself to the gently music was such a bonus. I’d do absolutely anything and be so ecstatically happy if you could actually take on board some of the vast amounts of negative feedback reviews and add in the good older content. What difference would it make other than having happier customers and children who should be the main focus.Version: 6.1.41
✓ Dreadful. Bring back the old version now!The app has just auto-updated on my son’s iPad and he has had a meltdown because it has changed since this morning. He’s autistic, he doesn’t understand and is heartbroken. He keeps asking for “puppy”. The new version is dreadful! Why on earth it has been completely changed I will never understand. Uninstalling..Version: 6.1.41
✓ So disappointing- no stars- I guess it gets one to be able to post this reviewMy grandson is just over 1 year old and I was hesitant to introduce the ipad to him but I found the Fisher Price apps were suited to a child just starting out using electronics. They kept his interest and were educational. He loved the Storybook 1, 2, and 3, Shapes and Colors, and was just getting into First Words. His first exposure to an iPad was the Puppy app with the ABC’s, 123’s, Shapes, and the sing-a-long. Since screen time is only used for educational purposes these were the go to apps that I thought were worth using, but the new and improved Learn and Play app leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t get how these sub topics in this app are worthy of keeping. He is very frustrated because he doesn’t have what he had grown to love. I understand trying to make improvements but don’t discount something just because it’s been around for awhile..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Where did all the original sing-along ones go?I have never written a review in the App Store, but I will write one for this “new” app. The old Fisher Price app had several sing-along songs that I’ve used with at least two of my small children over the past couple of years. “Itsy Bitsy Spider” was a favorite and it was even cooler that they could interact with the scenes. Now all of these songs appear to be gone. If I’m wrong and they are still there but I just have to dig for them, I will change my review. But from what I’ve seen, I definitely do not like the changes made to this app if they completely got rid of the original sing-along songs..Version: 6.1.1
✓ We miss the old appsI originally downloaded the fisher price series of apps for my daughter who is now nine. I was excited to see that these apps were still available for my one year old son. We were able to download and play with them for a couple of weeks before the apps were no longer supported and we were switched to this new version by homer. BAD MOVE! This new app is nothing like the previous interactive apps. We enjoyed those apps because they were very interactive for younger babies. Simple taps would take you through a game and lead you to a song. This new app is for older toddlers maybe 2-3 and it requires more thought and knowledge to use. It leaves the younger babies out. The videos are just okay, but they don’t feature any of the songs we’ve grown to know and love. The other apps were better. I miss the where’s baby’s nose, colors and shapes, ABCs, and being able to learn all these things with simple taps on the screen. BRING THEM BACK PLEASE!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ GarbageThis is an entire step back. It is ridiculous that you REMOVED access to the apps we already had that worked. Utter garbage..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Where is the old version?Can you still access the original version? My daughter really likes it. The new ap keeps freezing..Version: 6.0.1
✓ My daughter doesn’t like itWe had the original laugh and learn app. It was toddler friendly. The different modules weren’t overwhelming. My daughter loved being able to swipe to the next letter, number or shape. This new app throws a bunch of letters on the screen and she gets frustrated and stops using the app within the first 5 minutes. We tried to like it but it’s a NO for us. Please give parents the option to continue using the old app. Update: The old she was using is no longer available. When we try to open it, it says it’s no longer available. It had everything ABCs, 123s, shapes and colors. Please, please bring back the old apps. All these bad reviews can’t be wrong. If it’s not broke don’t fix it..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Bring back old appsMy child loved the old fisher price apps. He has cerebral palsy and was obsessed with them especially first words. This app is awful, slow and hard to control 👎.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Bring the old app back!Where is the old app?! Was much better then this new version and my daughter loved it!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ WasteMy son loved the Fisher price apps. He was learning a lot the first words he loved also all the story books. He started with the fisher price app that taught parts of your body. This new app is crap!! Don’t waste your time down loading it Fisher Price should come back with their other apps that were educational this is not stickers not educational. Bad move on Fisher Price very disappointing Not sure why Fisher price ruined what they have and your response is useless it’s the same for everyone kids no longer learn from your apps. I think you should take into consideration that you are getting more negative reviews than positive. Bad business decision loosing kids and parents.Version: 6.1.1
✓ NopeHate this update! It lost all the original game versions m son loved. He’s autistic and doesn’t understand why he can’t find the games he loved..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Please bring the old version backMy autistic son has loved playing with the old first words app for the past two years and is lost without them. This new version isn’t as good at all. You could have just improved the older apps instead of taking them down. Please bring the old versions back!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Should have left it aloneOther apps were much better. Try explaining to a child why they can’t play favourite games anymore. At least put the old apps in the new one. So disappointed.Version: 6.1.3
✓ This app doesn't workThis app won't open past the welcome screen..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Bring back the old gamesMy 3 year old had not used our old iPad for awhile but tonight we decided after a long day ( he was up at 4 am and I’m 9 months pregnant) we would let him play games on the iPad as long as he wanted. He is very specific about what games he will play. If he opens it one time and doesn’t immediately like it he will never give the game another chance. He wouldn’t use abc mouse because it didn’t just open to one game. He loved the old fisher price apps that are now suddenly gone and when he tried to open then tonight just started screaming and crying saying that everything was broken and he looked completely heart broken. I understand if you want to discontinue an app but why can it not stay available for those who already had it downloaded. I downloaded this app but it’s garbage..Version: 6.1.3
✓ GARBAGE.Thank you so much for making my autistic 9 year old’s favorite activities crushed by developing this app. Why not just retain the old versions and give option for this new for those who choose to use it? The previous apps were better for little ones. Easier to navigate. More fun and less confusing. This new one is just a collection of crappy clips and games that aren’t nearly as interactive and is more of a sales pitch of buying your toys (which we already have plenty of.. but now I feel like I’m done buying them). During all the uncertainty of the pandemic when we finally were able To replace his iPad he was so excited to play his favorite games. And now he is disappointed and frustrated and sad. So thanks for making an already difficult year more difficult for your “customers”. You don’t care if these games were beloved. You care about online platforms, marketing your products and clearly do not understand the needs or age appropriate development of children nor the sensitivities of those with special needs. Get the old games back or I’m sure you’ll see a lot of lost business. Thanks again..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Would be cute...If it had sound!! Very disappointing!!.Version: V2.0.8
✓ Requires much improvementI've had fisher price apps for my children for the past six years and this “latest update” stinks. the games and videos/songs have awful graphics and are glitchy to no end. it makes me incredibly sad that my newest addition wont be able to enjoy the fisher price app like her elder siblings did. be better fisher price.Version: 7.0.0
✓ The old version was betterJust like everyone else, I think the old version is better. Apart from the reasons others have stated (no simple interactive songs, non-phonetic letters, etc.), for me one of the most obnoxious changes is the absence/removal of a UK English option. The American voices are so grating, especially “Puppy”..Version: 6.1.2
✓ My Daughter loved this6 years or so ago when she was around two or three- ish. I went to listen to some of the songs again and saw that it needs to be updated. Read the reviews that make it sound like it’s completely different. That’s sad. It’s like losing family pictures in a way..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Bring back the old games!This app is pointless and useless now! When my two older kids were little, we used the app back when it was actually good and kept kids attention. My daughter had learned her shapes and colors through the app when she was a year old! I downloaded the app today for our youngest and found it’s totally different and they don’t have any interest in it at all. Please bring back the old game. It was shapes and colors and it sang a song after you tapped the shapes though and they danced around and it was on a little stage. It was so cute and my kids loved it. Super bummed it’s not on here anymore. You’d think with covid going on that brands would keep the apps and games that were favorites among consumers..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Worst app since changesThe change was made and it looked like you tried to combine all learning areas into one app. However, the activities are basically videos and less interactive than the old ones, my daughter is super upset that they no longer work. If I wanted my child to learn from a a video I'd sit her down in front of Sesame Street. As an early childhood educator i give the children small amounts of screen time with educational apps from time to time. fisher-price used to be the go to... not anymore. Very disappointed..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Unfortunate in every wayDisabling already downloaded and working apps to force parents to upgrade and sign up for yet another “account” or “service” to give Fisher Price an email address is frustrating enough. Then on top of that to provide a lackluster experience with an app that feels and performs like a glorified web view with video clips of the previous apps is the icing on the cake. This is an unforced error of the highest degree. Fisher Price has managed to ruin something as simple as letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and animal sounds. Who was asking for this change? Why not just make something new and let it prove itself or flame out like every other developer? It makes me wonder if any of the individuals involved with making this change had young children. Young kids want to interact and explore, they don’t want to just watch a video clip and tap on the screen to view another video clip. That’s what teenagers do. They want to see what happens when they touch the screen, see if they can move something around or make the animals react. It doesn’t take a big production budget. Fisher Price, please stop trying to become a service. Don’t break or take away already loved products and properties. Be true to your brand. You make simple and fun toys for little kids. Just make simple and fun apps for iOS..Version: 6.1.1
✓ What's happening with fp apps ??Another one with no sound !!!.Version: V2.0.8
✓ Worst appMade my boy cry no sound. Fix your crap wasted data..Version: V2.0.8
✓ Bring back the old appsThank you, Fisher Price for the meltdown we endured this morning when his First Words and other FP apps stopped working. This one is alright, but no where near as entertaining or captivating for him as the old ones. Also, I want to know who had the brilliant idea of putting the drag and drop Little People stickers right where you drag to access the iPhone menu. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️.Version: 6.1.1
✓ UghWe had a lot of the standalone apps, but they are “gone” and direct us to this one, only the material from those apps is not included in this app! What is the point?! Force a new app on parents and children with promise of “updates” to include the stuff from the apps we already have! How about once the material was integrated into your new app THEN you make the original app unusable. The old apps need to be in this new app if you are attempting to redirect parents and keep your audience. Maybe the new parents will fall for this crap, but us parents who know, know better. My children can’t even enjoy the Storybook Rhymes or Giggle Gang. And the baby apps won’t even work anymore (needs update, but I don’t think they are even in the App Store anymore) and they were some of the best ones out there! Roly and the Contrast Colors, and other ones. So disappointed! They worked fine. My children loved them, used them for sitting also. You really want to move away from what you once stood for apparently..Version: 6.1.1
✓ No goodCan you make the old app available please? This is completely different, my lad wants to play with the old game and cries when he can’t. I can’t explain to a 2 year old that the developer thinks this one is better. I probably wouldn’t if I could. He knows what he wants to do and doesn’t understand why daddy won’t let him..Version: 6.0.3
✓ No soundDownloaded the app for Iphone 4S, no sound. A little disappointed..Version: V2.0.8
✓ Storybook 1 + 2 Learn and PlayI work with a variety of children with special needs that have greatly benefited from the Storybook 1 + 2 Learn and Play App in order to achieve a variety of goals and skill sets. It is very disappointing to see these options removed on the new App. You cannot explain to these kids why their favorite- and sometimes only motivator- is not available anymore. We are in a pandemic and anything that is comforting and familiar will help to self-regulate them. Please consider bringing this option back..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Bring back the old apps!The old Fisher-Price apps were perfect self contained games for toddlers. They built a lot of good faith with parents... Why are you running that by shutting them all down then forcing this Hopster knock-off down our throats?.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Just okay and really buggyMy daughter has loved this app since she was about 6 months until now (10 months). The issue is it doesn't function properly about 70% of the time. First I started noticing that after a few minutes of play, the animals would stop appearing on the screen but the audio was still there. Now, over the past week or so, there hasn't been any audio--at all. Even when it is functioning properly, there are a few annoying features. Each animal only makes its sound once. It would be nice if we could hear the lion roar a few times before disappearing. The other annoying feature is that the screen has to be tapped once to get to the next animal, but a baby holding a phone usually has a few fingers on the screen at all times so we're stuck hearing a giggling animal slide all over the screen unless we want to pry the phone away from the baby's hands to tap the screen. This usually results in a screaming baby..Version: V1.1.5
✓ Absolute garbageThis app wit even load. Garbage!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ HorrendousNothing good about this new version. Had to remove the app shortly after downloading, my son who had autism and is non verbal loved the old versions. This version is awful and just upset him..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Waste of time!!!No sound!! Super annoying!! Waste of a download - not one FP download has sound.Version: V2.0.8
✓ WHY ON EARTH DID THEY GET RID OF OLD APPS!This new updated app is terrible. My 3yo NON VERBAL autistic son LOVED the old apps, especially the first words blocks and “where’s puppys___” as it was helping teach him body parts. I didn’t care about having a new app but to promise all the other games would be in it is foolish when they aren’t! This new app is boring .. he make watches the weird videos and tries to play those stupid “games”. It’s absolutely nothing to do up there. just don’t understand ..If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it! Deleting ASAP! Thanks A lot for a very pointless “upgrade” that feels more like a downgrade. The one thing I could get my son to do on screen/technology wise vs watch Mickey!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Not comparable with the previous appsMy 2 years old is looking for all the story book rhymes and apps you offer before and this new is all vídeos nothing comparable with the interactive previous ones which my baby and I loved. Very disappointed, if you would like to have everything in the same app that’s fine, but don’t change the format. Your customers are toddlers and infants they don’t understand what’s you are trying to do..Version: 6.1.0
✓ DisappointedI have five years difference in age between my kids. The original apps helped teach shapes, colors and letters so well, but this new app falls short. A few things make me loathe this app: 1. The interaction is basically gone. No more cause and affect *poking* to make the video sequences happen. My child is used to the old app and ends up just pausing the videos. 2. The screen flips to horizontal viewing only. 3. My youngest got to play the old apps for a month and loved them, but this new one is hard to engage with ..because it’s basically just videos and an art studio. These concepts aren’t age appropriate ,even though I put in my child’s age. We won’t be using this app as is, any longer. Hoping for some good development and updates soon! If we like the updates, I’ll update my review!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ .Just got the app and no sound! Please fix this problem asap..Version: V2.0.8
✓ Does not workLove all their apps but none of them work after updating the iOS!! Pls update!!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ No sound againThis is probably the 5th FP app I've downloaded without sound. Lame..Version: V2.0.8
✓ No sound?? It used to work fine!My son LOVES this app however there have been sound issues with all fisher price apps in the past week Please fix them !!.Version: V2.0.8
✓ We need the animal noises back!My daughter used to love the old app and is now asking where the elephant is? Can we get the old app back please!.Version: 6.0.2
✓ UpsetI have a special needs child who can only play with certain thing and the original game puppy was his favorite app in the world. And instead of just creating a new app you deleted the one he can play with. I would be even willing to pay for the original app. But this one is a joke it can’t be played with by every child and that’s where it makes me upset. I feel very strongly about this and am asking you nicely to at least bring back the old one even if it costs a fee. If I knew how to contact you. I would have more to say. As it stands to take apps away without any consideration is wrong if I could you a negative star I would as it is I give you a 1 until you can make this right. It will stay at 1..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Payment need revisingDon’t like how you have to store your card details on their site, if it was through the app subscription then I would have bought but not setting up things on websites it’s not easy to monitor subscriptions.Version: 7.0.0
✓ MissingIt isn’t there. Little brother is missing out on a great experience his sister got to have. Very disappointing. The stuff on this app is appropriate for big sister. That gets a better star rating. :).Version: 6.0.6
✓ This new app is truly terrible!You have made my son cry! I hope you are happy with this decision. If you wish to develop a completely new app then please do so ALONG SIDE the versions you are looking to depreciate. If and when you then get it right (reviews would be your guide) you could perhaps consider replacing the older versions with it. You have assumed the new app would suffice however you are way off course. The other reviews slating this decision cover all of the reasons why so I don’t need to go over them again. Safe to say you (the developer) have made an error in judgement and we as a family will be moving away from the Fisher-Price apps (already deleted.).Version: 6.1.0
✓ Could be betterNice simple app which keeps my little girl amused but after the 1st loop all of the animals disappear off the screen & it's just the music so have to close app & restart. Bit annoying..Version: V1.1.5
✓ No soundAgain, no sound on my iPhone 5..Version: V2.0.8
✓ What theI had this app before on another phone but now it won't download it's very frustrating!!.Version: V1.1.5
✓ Great but issuesMy 8 month girl loves watching it but the pictures of the animals disappear after the 2 different songs. It happens 70% of the time so I have to restart it to get the pictures back. The background is fine but no animals and I've tried it on my wife's iPhone and iPad with the same issues. Same goes with the other 2 free apps. Please update and fix..Version: V1.1.5
✓ Bring back the old appsAll the old apps that kids loved are now blocked and this new app is the only one that works. It is NOT child friendly nor as interactive for toddlers as the other ones were. The toddler I watch loved the alphabet one and made all the animal noises to it. So disappointed to see this new app taking over. Response to developer thinking I’m an idiot using the parental area of the app: No, we are in the “kids” area. Again: Not nearly as user friendly as the old apps for a child at 20 months. She used to listen for the opening giggle to the old apps and get excited and make animal noises for the alphabet. Now she loses interest and just clicks out of it. Bring the old apps back PLEASE. I will GLADLY PAY FOR THEM..Version: 6.1.1
✓ DisappearedLaugh and Learn Animal Sounds does not seem to be available for recent iOS update. Too bad..Version: 6.0.1
✓ MomIt worked at first and had wonderful sounds and my son loved it- bit the sound stopped working :(.Version: V2.0.8
✓ Please change it back!!!We have an autistic son, who absolutely loved the original version of this app with the farm animals. It’s now all changed and he can’t cope with it. Please can we have the original back!? ☹️.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Cuts out!!!There must be a bug in this app !! It keeps cutting out while my granddaughter is playing it.Version: 6.1.0
✓ No soundNo sound.Version: V2.0.8
✓ Fix pleaseOnly have sound a third of the time..Version: V2.0.8
✓ Worst change everYour developers must be the stupidest people ever. My son loved almost all your original apps only to change it to complete garbage while not keeping any of the old stuff that he loved. Thanks for literally ruining some off my son’s favorite daily routines. You morons should seriously be embarrassed with your “not” great ideas. You need to hire the original genius back and fire the moron that now heads the app development department. If I could rate this negative stars, I would rate this change from old and the new content a minus infinity. Sincerely, A Father and Mother of a 4 year old playing these apps for the last two years..Version: 6.1.0
✓ No sound!Useless without the sound - shame.Version: V1.1.5
✓ Where is Itsy Bitsy Spider? New version is BAD!!This new app is horrible! Where are the Storybooks with Itsy Bitsy Spider and Row Your Boat? Looks like Fisher Price has sold out to the aptly named HOMER company that has robbed those of us who had previously downloaded the FP Puppy apps and replaced it with this inferior junk! I have a new grand baby and this morning when I went to play the Itsy Bitsy Spider storybook app that all my other grand kids have LOVED I was so disappointed to find out it had been hijacked by this awful app. You click on sing along songs and get one stupid song. I assume this will earn the canned response about having to say goodbye to beloved apps. Not cool. I want back what you took from me!.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Quite good.My niece loves it, but would be much better if it had more animals other then that it's quite a good app..Version: V1.1.5
✓ Replace amazing apps with a poor performing oneThe line of Fischer Price apps historically was amazing and used them with my niece and nephew once they turned 2. Was looking forward to the same for my own son and saw they replaced them with this app. Gave it a chance, but needless to say this is bad even when not compared to the old apps. Must use data / cellular to pull content, the interface for children is not seamless, and is a one size fits all approach to aged learning. I am so disappointed and plan to purchase non-Fischer price toys due to this (outside of little people). I hope this gets fixed as I would then support Fischer Price in the future..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Please bring back Puppy ABCs/123My non verbal special needs son LOVED the Fisher Price Puppy app. We even incorporated the app into his therapy sessions because it was such a motivator for him. The app was easily engaged (my son just had to tap the screen) and it kept his attention with silly sounds, bouncing images, and songs. He loves music and is motivated by music. His speech therapist loved how the app encouraged him to touch the screen because this is a skill he will need as he transitions into assistive communication devices. The new app is NOTHING like the puppy games. He now becomes frustrated when he sees the puppy icon or picture card we made because the app no longer works. I am willing to pay for the Puppy app for it to be returned. This app may not be important to a lot of people, but to my son it was priceless. Please reconsider getting ride of the Fisher Price abc/123/shapes app..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Un-FREAKING BELIEVABLY RIDICULOUSI first purchased this app for my oldest daughter when she was young, she now has a baby sister and I was so excited to find these apps for her! She adored the apps. You did not have the parents and ESPECIALLY NOT the children in mind when you did this. My child HATES the new app HATES! Kids need CONSISTENCY and you took that from them. ESPECIALLY DURING A PANDEMIC!!! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I don’t want to hear consolidate this and that nonsense because the app you have now is TRASH compared to what they were before. My child won’t even open the app. Where is the “Where is Puppy” the parts of the body??? I don’t see it, the shapes and colors is soo different she HATES EM ALL. Like I said SHAMEFUL! If you care anything about the consumers and children you will do the right thing and BRING THE OLD APP BACK!.Version: 6.1.3
✓ Needs an updateWill no longer load..Version: 3.0.3
✓ TerribleWhy did you ruin a good thing? If I could give zero stars I would. I have never written a review before, but congrats! You have inspired me. I had the original 7 years ago for my first daughter. She loved the giggle gang. I now have a one year old and I downloaded the app because I remembered how much she loved it. My second child loved it just as much even though it was slightly different from the giggle gang. But, not different enough to be a real change. Now you have completely altered it so much that you are no longer for your target audience. If you no longer want to support an app for the one year old age range, then stop directing parents to the new app. It clearly is a complete change and not at all what we are looking for. Thanks for ruining my child’s only app..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Bring the old version back!I understand what this app is trying to do but it is not what I need it to do. Our daughter loves the animals and always has, why not build on that and have a completely new app for all of this? Up the variety of animals! Good but simple apps are so hard to come by - this used to be one of them. And even worse: I will now have to deinstall this version as our kid is 2 now and this teaches her letters not phonetically, which is what we have been told to do. She developed a sense of wanting to know letters and we want her to be able to transition to reading words easily. So it is not an ‘em’ but a ‘m’ - something I have been looking for in apps but hard to find. Disappointed about this..Version: 6.0.2
✓ Ruined the old apps.I believe this app is supposed to be a compilation of the previous Fischer-Price apps such as First Words. What a shame to destroy the individual quality apps to “put them together” in this lesser version. As far as I see, they must have been moved into the trash bin. I do see that this app is now associated with Homer. I suppose I could purchase the $10/month Homer app where I assume everything that was the wonderful about the old Fischer-Prices apps is now located. Ridiculous. I refuse to do that. Please bring back the old apps. I just read an enormous amount of negative comments on this “new and improved” (hardly) version. It’s terrible. I’m going to swear off purchasing Fisher-Price products in future..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Old app was way betterMy baby loved the old app..Version: 6.1.3
✓ Forced changes are terrible.My autistic daughter loved the original app, was begging to imitate noises and finally starting to get a voice! However she will not touch the new app and since the old app is no longer available, she has lost the progress she was making. 0 stars fisher price! You have ruined a little girl’s favourite activity..Version: 6.1.3
✓ No soundNo sound and its called animal sounds!.Version: V2.0.8
✓ Waste of timeI’m sick of the canned responses on here from fisher price. “We had to say goodbye to some beloved games...blah blah...consolidate..blah blah”. Give me a break. How can you pull your clearly “beloved” apps during a freaking global pandemic when parents are at their wits end. I’ve been waiting for the stupid homer app to update with the content of the formerly “beloved” apps, and it still hasn’t happened. Why would you as a company remove content before it was in place in the new app?? My toddler HATES the homer app the way it is now and he cries when he sees it on the screen, so now I don’t even bother giving him the iPad, so I guess thank you for turning my child off to technology completely? Also he has the stuffed fisher price puppy which was featured in these apps. He now hates the puppy and calls it a “traitor” because he can’t understand why the puppy isn’t available for him to play with on the iPad any more. I try to explain the concept of consolidation, but I don’t think he quite gets it yet. So congrats, my kid now hates fisher price, and won’t ever play with another fisher price toy..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Where have the animals goneMy son loves the animal songs, and actually cried that they are no longer on the app, please bring the old version back..Version: 6.0.2
✓ So annoyingNo sound!.Version: V2.0.8
✓ Bring back puppy!!I got a new iPad and went to download the puppy game that my son absolutely loves so much and while tryin to find it, I realized it doesn’t even exist anymore and it went to this stupid thing! I don’t know who’s brilliant idea was to do that! The only way I found out about it was readin through all the reviews and saw that people were saying to bring back the puppy game. This “new” game is not very educational at all! It’s extremely boring and nothin to do and doesn’t teach hardly anything! My son is really behind with words and talking and he was really picking up a lot of words from the puppy game, he can’t do that with this darn thing. If people, including myself are even willin to pay to bring that other puppy game back, then do it! There’s no sense in keeping a game that people and kids hate.Version: 6.1.3
✓ Disappointed in new model appExtremely disappointed the way you made us download this new app, and not let our children enjoy what they are used to. I understand apps needs to be updated from time to time and with that comes some GUI changes. Why would block the previous apps that our toddlers are used to, forcing parents to update into a new model that is not kid friendly. Eveytime you open this app is in adult mode, we have to then come in and switch it to Child’s View mode in order for them to play it with. If you’re going to do that, then have an option in the settings for us to switch it to Child’s Mode until an adult comes in with a password to access order areas the child is not supposed to. Uninstalled..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Very annoyingBy putting all the apps into one it misses out on so much my children enjoyed they hate this new app.Version: 6.1.1
✓ No soundUseless.Version: V1.1.5
✓ No soundsPictures look ok but no sounds and no way of checking settings. Deleted..Version: V1.0.0
✓ Garbage since their “update”Why would you get rid of all your apps that kids loved? I get that you wanted to put all the apps under one “roof”, but why get rid of the games where the alphabet, shapes, numbers, etc… would fall down the screen while songs played?! My little boy with autism still grabs the ipad, looks for that game, then has a meltdown because it’s not there for him to use anymore. Obviously your company is more worried about saving some pennies than making your audience, the kids, happy. Terrible company that’s against kids with special needs, and have gotten rid of any FP toys in our home. You’ve definitely lost a customer for life..Version: 6.1.41
✓ HmmmIt was good at first then it crashed my phone! Gonna delete it..Version: V1.0.0
✓ Aww I miss the old app!My first child is 7 yrs old now but back when he was just 6 months old to around 2/3 yrs we both enjoyed the old fisher price apps so much that when I had my newest little one I wanted to download the apps again only to find out there no longer on the App Store and now there’s a new version, the new version is okay but I gotta say the old app with the cute little rhymes like Pattycake and the itsy bitsy spider was our fav this app only has one rhyme witch is “1,2 buckle my shoe” witch we also love but disappointed that this app only includes one rhyme for the rhymes section witch is misleading as it’s labeled (Rhymes). Please bring back the old app!.Version: 7.0.0
✓ My little one is mad!I’ve had the original puppy app for 5 years (since my first child ). It helped her learn her shapes, colors, and numbers. The app was easy for young toddlers to use and interactive so they can learn/play at their own speed. My second child (now approaching 2 years) loved the old app as well. She has zero interest in these new videos. ZERO. She’s gets so upset because she wants to play the old interactive games. Why get rid of the old games? Just dash them away with no replacement? These videos are not interactive, the activities that are interactive are long and boring. There is nothing of use for the youngest learners. Nothing. I want the old app back!.Version: 6.1.1
✓ Rubbish!Forced to download this since the Colours and Shapes app is no longer working and it’s absolute rubbish. Both my children loved playing the old app and this one is just naff videos and no games. I’ve spent a good 10 mins faffing about on the app to find anything remotely similar and I’m beyond disappointed..Version: 6.1.0
✓ So disappointedThe whole format is child unfriendly. Why did you discontinue the old versions which we loved so much? My child has no interest in this new app when both my little ones loved the old versions. The story books games and songs were great before but this is not anywhere near as good. Such a shame.Version: 6.1.1
✓ No soundIs there a fix for this?.Version: V2.0.8
✓ No sound!My baby loves the app but the sound suddenly went away! Deleted and downloaded again and still no sound..Version: V2.0.8
✓ Look at the negative reviews, give us our apps backAs per the title, my kid loves the apps that you have force killed, they are not present in the new version. Please just give the, back to our kids.Version: 6.1.3
✓ Bring back other appsThis app is ok but we enjoyed the other ones a lot more. Thanks for making learning fun! Would love to get the vehicle see n’ say as well..Version: 6.1.1
✓ Not funWe just downloaded all of the fisher price apps about a month ago and now they’ve all been discontinued except for this one. My son was loving the app where you touched a block and it told you what the picture on the block was. He would play for a good 15 minutes straight, this app doesn’t even interest him for a full 2 minutes. He’s not interested in placing “stickers” on the screen which there are two different sticker games in the new app. The letter and shape games would be fun but the animations take a long time and the letters constantly change on the screen instead of allowing him to explore each letter. The animal and animal sound game is pretty lame, you really don’t even have to do anything it just plays itself so he loses interest after 2-3 animals. Your old apps were better..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Please bring back the old ABC gameThis game taught my not even 2 year old all her letter recognition! I haven’t been able to find anything like it. Please bring it back.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Bring back the basic!I’m so sad they ruined their former easy to use app!!! I’ve looked around at so many apps to try to find something like what fisher price had. They other stuff is fine but pleeeease bring back the simple ABC tap for the little ones!.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Please give us the old version as an optionI agree with the most recent reviews. My daughter absolutely loved the previous version and is very upset it’s no longer available. Is there any chance of doing a separate app for it or adding it as an option to play in this new version?.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Don’t BotherMy daughter was super motivated by all of the original Fisher Price Apps and she was learning! She learned to crawl, fine motor, animals, sounds and ABCs. She’s 1 and special needs. Puppy is her absolute favorite. I really don’t understand after 8 years of having these apps why you would take them down. There’s nothing wrong with them! Homer has none of these and the apps they do have are super boring and teach nothing. I’m bored with them - imagine a 1-3 year old? It’s nothing but old fisher price videos that all she could do it watch but no participation. The rest are terrible for a 1 year old. No colors sounds or anything really interesting. Not even the old nursery rhymes. I actually paid for this crap. Many therapists used the old apps to motivate and teach - especially cause and effect. Why why why would you take these down? Especially why would you lie to your end users and tell them the apps have moved? I even called corporate and I’ll continue to do so until something changes. Shame on you Fisher Price!!!!!.Version: 6.1.1
