Peekaboo Forest App Reviews

New version not working

This 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 wed like to see more for the price we paid), but until its fixed, Im taking it off our iPad.

Quality issues

Doesnt seem like this was adequately tested prior to being released.

A Classic App

Our kids love all the peekaboo apps: Barn, Wild, AND Forest! The raccoon and butterfly are favorites!

Fantastic!

I liked barn and wild a lot, but forest takes these apps to a whole new level. The art is beautiful and sophisticated and yet my 2 year old daughter appreciates it as much as I do. Bottom line: if you have little kids, get it now!

Skews older than barn and wild

Unlike 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

Over priced for content

Too expensive for a 4 page book. Boring. Dont waste your money

Great addition to peekaboo

My 2 yr old enjoys this as he does all peekaboo games.

Peekaboo not the best but ok

Love all the peekaboos but this lacks interest for my grandson

Not a good app for SN child

I bought this for my special needs son because he showed such an interest in Peekaboo Barn. Not a good app for SN kids. Animals are often too small to see and camouflaged in the scenes. Nothing like Peekaboo Barns bright colors and sweet kids voices. Did not engage my son at all

Beautiful, however

Unlike 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.

Underwhelming and less educational

Our 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. Theres 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.

Wonferful!

The art is fantastic! It could have been longer, even a toddlers attention span is longer than this. BUT overall, I really enjoyed this app and love sharing beautiful art with my child.

Barn >> forest

Peekaboo barn is much better than peekaboo forest. Dont expect to like forest just because you like barn.

Nice app!

I almost didnt buy this because the reviews were not as good as Peekaboo Barn. Im so glad I decided to give it a try. In my opinion, this app is much better than Barn. This app has more animation and I love the different backgrounds instead of looking at the one dumb barn. Also, better suited for the animals we see in our background.

Awful and boring

Waste of money. There are 4 scenes and maybe 4 animals pop out of each one, make a sound and go away. Its slow moving and boring. Barely any content. Now it wont let me submit the review.No wonder there was only 1 great review for this junk.

Just not good

My daughter loves the other versions of Peekaboo but this one she just isnt interested in. Its incredibly slow and quiet, the animals dont 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.

Love it!

I just purchased this app today for our 3 year old, and she loves it! I love that you can record your own voice saying the names of the animals. We recorded her siblings saying the names, and it has only added to her delight when the animal is named. The app is quiet, peaceful, and very pleasant to look at. The graphics are lovely and simple. The noises are realistic and calm, not over the top and loud. We look for apps that are not so overly stimulating for our kids, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Very happy! The one thing that I hope is improved in the future is ease of navigation. There is no easy way to go back, forward, or stay on a page if you like. Other than that, no complaints!

Lame

Broke the awesome doors opening and closing format of discovery- its unclear presentation of animals is further dulled by a womans "Siri" like voice as opposed to the cute kid voice on the other apps. So lame!!!!!

Boring

Only 4 scenes, not very interactive, lame music, sloooow paced. My 16 month old wasnt interested at all. Cute illustrations though.

Peekaboo Forest

This is a beautifully done app. The art work is lovely, interesting things happen to move a child along the discovery and the ability to record your voice is very creative!
