Googoo?. My daughter is obsessed with Googoo but can’t call him on her play phone ... because he’s not available! (Hes not a character on here please add him !)

Doesn't disable buttons on phone. I thought the point of tis app was to make your pone safe for the kiddo to play with. This is not the case. As soon as my daughter touched the home button she had complete access to my phone. She was millimeters away from erasing things. If I wanted to have to activate the guided access I would just activate it instead of starting this app only to have to use the guided access.

Entertaining. Has a few of my daughter's favorite characters (although some voices differ from the actual voice actors in the show) and she loves being able to call and talk to them. Never had a problem with sound so I'm not sure what other reviewers are talking about. Overall a solid app.

Like a phone toy but better. My daughter loves her phone toy but this keeps her occupied for much longer! She loves being able to call and talk to the characters, especially VocabuLarry! Highly recommend

Crash on start. I was (am?) excited to get this app for my little. Unfortunately, it has never successfully loaded. I have deleted and reinstalled it twice to no avail. I have also tapped the app-support button in the store and it takes me to the bf site but there is no other place to ask for assistance than here. I have, I believe, two more baby first apps that do not load. I will leave what info I can in the appropriate places.

Annoying Ads!. The app itself is fine. Very cute. She loves the characters that appear on the screen. But my baby can't even hardly enjoy the app without an annoying ad popping up every few seconds. Makes it impossible to enjoy. I don't want a different app. I want to see this app, so stop with the constant ads! That's just my two cents.

No Goo Goo. Only reason I downloaded this is because my daughter loves Goo Goo. The commercial shows that character is on here and he isnt

No sound. Great app but sound disappeared

Thank for upload. Designed so that curious babies, toddlers, and preschoolers can safely engage with mobile devices. Very happy when use this app. Smooth and fast connect. Simple but flexible. Thank you to upload app

So fun for babies!. My 5 month old loves this app. I reserve it for use when we are out and I need to occupy her. Also bought the fisher price laugh and learn iphone holder for babies. It's so awesome how much she loves it!!! Thank you!!!

No sound. I’ve downloaded three time and still no sound. Disappointed, I was looking forward to sharing this with my little one.

New version is hard for my baby to use. I love that the 2.0 version has more characters, but now when my baby touches the screen it scrolls up and down on him and it's difficult for young fingers to pick a character. Even I have to tap a few times on a character to get it to start ringing because the scrolling is so sensitive. I wish you could squeeze all the characters onto the screen so it doesn't have to scroll at all.

No Sound Big Mistake!. Downloaded twice’ Thought maybe I did something wrong’ Nope’ Your wasting time on tv advertising’ Not working’ Better luck next time’ hopefully I’m placing 1 star to attract attention, But it ain’t worth it

really. finding someone

Fail. Looks like it could be a fun app for my grandson however there is no sound.

Ridiculous. This is nothing more than a babyfirst sales platform. I can't just hand this to my son and him be able to play. Once he's in the actual games it's ok, unless he closes it and tries to go back into it, then another ad comes up. This is in no way made for babies, and with a name like BABYfirst you would think that wouldn't be the case. Very disappointed.

Great app. Great for the little ones. It's fun for them to be able to call their baby first favorites. To whoever said there was no sound - make sure you aren't on vibrate. Sound works fine! That's the whole point of the app!!!

Baby first. I get no sound on the app. I have downloaded and deleted it twice trying get sound to work. I have I phone 7 and EVERY APP on baby first network has been a problem. None has worked on mine or my wife’s phone. NONE. SHE HAS I PHONE 10.

Great, However... My daughter loves this app, it’s a beautiful mind jogging distraction for my already smart toddler. She can call all her favorite friends, learn her numbers and letters and what not. But there’s only one thing that bothers me... Where the hell is GooGoo??? We watch baby first all the time and they always bring up how GooGoo is now available on their app. LIES! I want my money back! (It was free stupid.)

Love it. Works great, but your phone ringer must be turned on for there to be any sound

Great app!. FYI: if the sound isn't working in the app, check to make sure your phone isn't on silent. I made that mistake and as soon as I turned my ringer back on the app sounds worked awesome! My son is going to love this app! He's always trying to take my phone and copy me. I love that this is colorful, yet simplistic enough for a toddler. It's really cool that it has a 'favorite caller' list and texting emojis, which will be great when he's a little older.

Good!. This app is amazing for my children. I have twins, a boy and a girl and they love it. When I pick them up from pre-school, there teacher compliments there working and understanding. I also have a single child that is having trouble with colors and shapes. I looked for a app and I saw this and when my daughter she said, " mommy I want to do that!" And so I got it for her. They love this app do you should love it too!

No Sound?!?!?. There is no sound in this app, it has disappeared :( but why is it muted?!?!?

Bad advertising. No goo goo

No sound. The sound don’t work

Fun app!. My daughter loves this app!! It's fun and sweet for tiny kids. I haven't noticed the frequency of ads, but my little one tends to stay in one screen of the app for a while before switching, so maybe that's why. Also, yes, kids can press the home button and get out of the app, but that's normal for most apps I think... Once I learned about guided access I had absolutely no problems with this anymore. Four stars!

Gets the job done. Use it for my 2 yr old boy and he enjoys seeing the characters he sees on the phone. The apps ring allows you to can crank up the volume to make sure they're still on the app. The scripts from the characters are well varied, and it's awesome that it can be used even when no cellular data is around.

Love it!. My 13 month old daughter LOVES playing with my phone and iPad mini....She also loves Baby First TV (especially Harry the Bunny, Notekins, and Sammy and Eve) ...I love the fact that she can "interact" with her favorite characters from the show. ((And that the app is free)) :) This Momma gives this App 2 thumbs up!

Babyfirst telephone. Love the app my little one is learning the numbers I just wish it had different language selection for when he would push the number or a character it would speak our native language and in English

Sound has disappeared :(. I’ve had this app on my iPhone for a couple of years, first for my now 5 year-old and now for my 18 month-old. But the sound has stopped working. I have the app on my iPhone X, my old iPhone 6, and an iPad. The sound has stopped on all the devices. This was/is my daughters favorite app. I can see reviews from over a year ago that this has been an ongoing problem, and the developer responding that they were working on an update. Well, there hasn’t been an update in almost 2 years. Please develop an update to fix the sound! My daughter misses calling all her friends from the baby channel.

Great, until latest update. LOVED this app for my son until the latest update. He likes to hit the home button, and instead of just tapping the app open again and resuming play, now I have to click an "x" on an ad and two-finger swipe to get it to close. ANNOYING to have to do this every 30 seconds when my son gets out of the app. Please get rid of this!!!!

Wish the sound worked!!!. We loved the app and all the characters until the sound stopped working as other users have stated. I’ve tried uninstalling, rebooting, and fluctuating the volume from the lowest to highest setting to no avail. It does work fine on my iPhone 8 Plus, but is really needed for my toddlers personal iPad which is on IOS 10.3.3. I would definitely give this app 5 stars otherwise. I have the same problem with the second version of the app as well 😔.

No sound. My baby loved it until he couldn’t hear the characters! Really needs to be fixed

No sound? Check the mute button on the side of the phone. She loves it. When I am trying to use the phone and she insists upon it we can talk to grandma without hanging up by switching over to this app and starting guided Access. Ah guided Access if you don't know how to use it you need to so you dont mind as much when babies is your phone

Don't work. Sound doesn't work

Great app!. Simple Game beautiful pictures, run smoother. This game has very addictive not only with the youngest players, but also adults. game attracts the most amount of time children play. a lot of kids around the world love.

Don't update if you want it to still work!. Ditto everyone else. It was my daughter's favorite app - would use it every day - now she just gets frustrated because the "speed dial/favorites" part (her favorite) doesn't work at all. It freezes up and you have to abort the app for anything to start working again. Please fix, otherwise we'll be looking for other entertainment.

HELP (I need a grammar correction). I absolutely adore this app & so does my 6 month old son... MY only problem is my son's name is Nicholas & the proper spelling of his name, pluralized is Nicholas', NOT (the way it shows up at the top of the app on my phone) Nicholas's... If u guys could PLEASE help me with fixing this issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don't want my son to start to see his name in properly spelled... Thank you in advance & other than that 1 small issue this app is genius & A LOT more free stuff than I had expected!!!

No sound after iOS 10.3.3. This really is a great app and my daughter loves it. However, after updating my phone to iOS 10.3.3, the sound no longer works. BabyFirst, please fix it.

My baby loves this!!!. Makes him smile so much!!!! I had to change my old phone and I was worried this app was changed or something because of actualizations but I am so hapoy still have the original games because he likes it sooo SOO MUCHH! Thank you guys!

Dumb. This game doesnt have sound

No Sound. It looks great, but there is no sound unless I plug in headphones.

Talking to Sammy. Trying to talk to Sammy Squirrel then Tillie Meryan and then Larry Adams, IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!! NO BONNIE & CLYDE! NO NOTHING! GRRRRRRRRR!

Works great…sound works…possible sound fix?. So when I first downloaded it had no sound and my volume was all the way up (still no sound) then I realized my iPhone switch (top left side) was switched to silent mode. I switched it to sound and the sound came on and was adjustable by the volume then. Not sure if this is everyone’s sound issue or not but figured I’d share what helped me. Anyhow great app. If this isn’t your sound issue then disregard. Just trying to help.

Does not work anymore. My daughter loves this app. But as of this morning it will not open. I have an iPhone 5s. When I press on the app it opens to a black screen, then shuts down. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Crap. Used it to be good when my baby wasn't stopped from playing by relentless ads. I'm not playing the app, so what's the point of advertising to a baby? Every 30 seconds it goes to a 'timed as' mode then I have to manually close it out to allow my child to keep playing? Lol Really frustrating. I will have to delete it now. Good thing Babyfirst tv doesn't do that mid-program. That would be very disruptive to learning, eh?

Language in Spanish. I will like to know if this game came in Spanish and how I can download it, please my baby love this app but i will like he learn in Spanish too.

Life saver!!!!!. This is great for planes and times of tantrums! I just put this app on for them and let them do whatever they want. Makes calls texts and so much more. We wouldn't be able to live without it!

BAD INFLUENCE??!???!??. This app functions beautifully. My toddler loves it. HOWEVER!!! ,there is an interaction with our dear ENEMY Sammy the Squirrel. This fluffy demon says “Look! I throw my acorn up in the air like a ball! Can you do that?” Then proceeds to throw his acorn like a mad man!!!1!! Now. I ask you fellow parents. What is your small child left to throw but your phone!!! It is likely the only item in their hands!!!! Now i have an angry little boy who’s mind has been polluted by a squirrely heathen. He will not stop throwing the phone!! He threw it at me!! At his grammy!! AT THE CAT!!! What is a mother left to do??????!!? (This review is mostly a joke however my son seriously is throwing my phone a lot and i feel that perhaps our dear Sammy is the culprit.)

Great app for phone but not for ipad. My son really really love it. And he is learning his words thru his friends like larry, harry and do. No need for data or wifi to play with them. Its just that the app in the ipad keeps on shutting down( latest version). Kindly check on that. I would have given 5 stars if not for that.

Not working. It opens up but instead of progressing to app, it closes. Was really looking forward to this app for my daughter - but could also not find how to contact you for support before rating

Elly's dad. App is great. My 21 month old daughter loves it.

We love baby first. Works great and my 22 month old loves it. We recommend this app!

No sound. Would really like the app if it had sound to go along. The kids lose interest really fast.

👉 Are you looking for an Adsense alternative advertising platform?

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Play phone. I loved time until you changed it. My son is pretty smart and the last version was were he tapped blossom and it went back to the original screen. On the top right you had parents he left that alone. Now he hits blossom it goes to advertising and takes two finger swipe to the left. I can't every two seconds fix this

Nice app-need more improvements. Nice app-need more improvements. It will be good if there will be more characters instead of emoticons and voice function. Kids can directly interact with their fav characters.

Crashes. Pls fix it. My son loves this app. It was working fine but ever since the new update it crashes as soon as u open it

So cute!. Keeps my little man entertained... Would be nice it he couldn't close the app. He loves to push the home button but gets mad that the app closes.

My niece won't put it down. She loves it! Especially being able to talk to Harry the Bunny in the "video chat." So cute!

My baby loves it. But it won't open since the update yesterday. I have an iphone 5.

Update fail. This used to be my son's favorite app. The previous version stopped working on iPod but at least it worked on iPad. I updated the app and it still doesn't run on the iPod. Now, only 2/3 of the app work on iPad. The best part, the games with the characters doesn't work. Please fix ASAP

Disappointed. Used to be great. Way too many ads now, and the 2 finger swipe + press x to close them just makes them even more annoying.

Sound.. The app functioned as it should however the sound will not work. I tried restarting my phone and adjusting volume but no luck.

Dose not Work Anymore. My daughter liked this App but it no longer works. When I click on it, it just goes to a black screen and shuts off. I even deleted it and re-downloaded it but still does not work. I have and IPhone 4S.

Ap. The video are great for children under 1 1/2 the rest is not any use to that young of an age. This is not supported for the iPhone 6

Eh. My kids loved it, but after a few days the sound disappeared. I tried deleting and reloading, but still no sound. I agree with the other reviewer...totally useless without sound.

So disappointed. My daughter liked this app before all of the updates. There are way too many ads and not enough characters. The newest update actually doesn't even work! You click a character and the phone rings and nothing happens afterwards, I am so disappointed! FIX THE APP IT DOES NOT WORK.

My niece is in love!. My niece is the biggest BabyFirst fan I know! I recommended this app to my sister for her daughter to play with and she has been using it nonstop! She gets to talk to Tillie, Peek A Boo and others. She can't get enough :)

A great app!. Let her become familiar with the numbers I chose this app. Really glad to choose this app. It is very suitable for my toddler. thanks for a great app!

No Sound?! Please fix!. Cute app but what's the point of a phone app for kids if there is no sound? Even tried rebooting the phone...all other apps are okay...no sound with this one. Please fix! The sound works on iPhone 5s, but my grandson uses my old iPhone 4 to play on so he doesn't break my phone and the sound doesn't work on the 4.

Volume doesn't always load. When this app works correctly it is fantastic. The volume doesn't always work even with my 5s volume all the way up. My one year old gets frustrated and do do I. I have deleted and reinstalled as well as restarted my phone. Nothing works.

Fun baby app. My 12 month old loves this app! It's baby and parent friendly.

Great App. My daughter loves this app!! She is able to call and send smiley face texts to her Baby First friends with ease. This app will keep you and your little one happy.

Kids love it. Keeps them happy in the car. It's a godsend!

Cute app!!!. My 3 yr old loves this App. Now he can text and call like his older brother. Only wish Harry the bunny was one of the characters you could call.

Better. This one is much better than the previous version. My kid loves it.

Great app!. I downloaded the app for my little cousins and they love it. Educational and it also has a cute design

Would not run. Could never get the app to open and run, even after multiple reinstalls. I had the same problem with two other apps by Baby First, which is very disappointing as my daughter loves watching the shows.

Good app. My 16 month old was so excited about this app he ran around In circles dialing all the characters.. I love the app because he dial numbers without calling my contacts

No Sound?. Would have given this a 5 star if there's sound function. Nevertheless my little guy is still happy to see his babyfirst pals.

Won't work. My niece used to love this app but as of yesterday it will not open! I even deleted and reinstalled. It's hard explaining to a baby that the phone no longer works. Please fix!

Nothing But Ads. I get there will be some ads in a "free" app, but baby first apps are absolutely horrific! You'll honestly spend more time waiting on and clicking through ads then playing the game. Pretty poor experience, not sure how much greed one company can have...

Great app. I love the app, thank you for fixing it on the iPhone 4. My son is very happy it is working again!

Baby's first. So cute! Love this for entertaining little ones while waiting for dr, or any other kind of appointment.

Space hog. It works well and my 2 year old enjoys it, but iOS 8 says that it was consuming over 600MB. When I uninstalled the app, it really did free 600MB.

In-App Advertisements Disruptive. I have no problem closing out of an ad when the app starts up, but putting pop-ups during the video portions of the app itself is extremely disruptive. This last update is a mess.

Frustrated in silence.. My daughter loves this app, but the volume does not work on it since the most recent update. My other apps work, so I know it's not just the iPad itself, please fix it. She loves "texting" the funny bunny!

Crashes. I downloaded for the 1st time onto my sons 4th gen iPod running iOS 6.1.3. It crashes before the app fully loads. Other reviewers are having similar problems.

No sound!!!. Help! I've tried to download and restart by iPhone 4S 3 times after installing his app and there's still no sound for it. It looks really great but is totally useless without sound. I've checked everything in notifications and settings on my phone too.

Very nice!. My 18 month old loves this app! Especially the FaceTime part, it's great! On long trip I do put it on airplane mode for no interruptions

Crashes at start. I downloaded this to see if my baby would like playing this but I never even had that chance since the app crashes immediately upon start. Unfortunate because she loves a lot of the shows on baby first network.

Need to fix. Hello there I just had the app but I can.t open to see what's in there to play tanks

Love it. My song can't get enough of it! The update has done a good job squishing some bugs. Highly recommend :)

No sound :(. My son loves the channel and this app. It helps us On long car rides or whenever he is fussy! After waiting for this to be available on iPhone App Store again .. The sound doesn't work . Please fix this ASAP!

Awsome. My 16 month old brother loves it !he always loves calling his friend. I wish they could have more. But the game is fun for him

I don't know. It's just awesome I love it she learns each and every day more and more and she learns how to talk more to and I'm just like wow! They grow up quick 😋 this is just Awesome man !

Fun. My three and one year olds love this app they laugh every time they get to call an animal

Worst update ever. Just like everyone that has written a review, after the update it made this app utterly useless. The videos freeze and then crash, and ever the emoji part crashes if you use certain ones. Very disappointed considering this was my daughter's favorite app.

Pretty Good. My 15 month old loves this app. Very bright colors and the characters are fun. Downsides: takes forever to open, and baby pushes the home button and it closes the app, tantrums ensue. And like I said, it takes forever to open. So...

Luv it!. I use the app on my iPhone 4s and it works great. My daughter is 1 and she loves seeing the characters pop up on the screen. Thanks BabyFirst!

Good. Good although not many features

Used to be great, ad ridden now. Video ads were added. The previous pop up ads confused my child enough as it was but now every time they back out to the title screen I have to help close the damned thing (which it doesn't do responsively).

My daughter loves this. My 20 month old daughter loves this app her favorite part is calling the characters, especially the duck. Although I find the squirrel very disturbing... Where is he pulling that walnut from?

Needs an update. I had an iPhone 5s. The app worked well. My daughter loved it. Her face would light up and she'd giggle when she saw vocabuLARRY. But I just upgraded to the iPhone 6, and the app loads, but the videos will not play. Tried all the videos nothing worked. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app and that didn't work. This app was such a life saver and now it's just useless :(
