Worst. Game. Ever
CBeebies Playtime Island is the worst game I ever play. How am I going to delete it?!
Meat
Please add meat to the Shaun the sheep pizza game
Bring back some old features
The new layout of the game is good, but I think you should bring back some more old stuff that was in the old version. For example, 1. Picking your vehicle to travel to the island 2. Bring the blobs back, (I know they are still here but they are squares and not weird shapes anymore, even the idents are not the same anymore) 3. Some of the old games 4. The old Christmas games.
It’s a catastrophe!
The furchester helping hand game always glitches when I open up the game, a screen pops up saying that I have to rotate my screen to play the game. Let’s see if you can fix it.
Love it!!!! Just more playtime island stuff!
Thak u BBC its good so how r u good purr-fect!

Old app is better
Old app is the goat
Bad
Duggie was not working
Ok but
This app is made up of lots of different ones and if your little one wants to play a game you have to download it A bit of a time waster but the games- once there downloaded - are fun
I have to be honest with myself that this was the best time of year for my kids and my family
Hey there I’m sorry to bother but do we need a ride to your place today to get your truck fixed and cbeebiees Playtime app
glitch
there is a glitch in supertato potato flinger👾
It’s good, but…
My daughter enjoys this app, which is the same thing. However, when she’s done playing with it, I can’t for the life of me, get the app off the screen? I’m on an iPhone and I’m really struggling to get the app off, when I want to move between apps - I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Another thing, I have 3 notifications on the app, I’ve since opened it and, gone through the app and can’t get the notifications to disappear. Petty, I know but I like my phone to be neat and not have notifications unread 😂
Why I want the my pet and me gameback on CBeebies playtime island
I installed this app in 2017 I used to play this app a lot I was 6 at the time and me and my family were on holiday but the game that I enjoyed the most was the my pet and me game it was so fun it reminds me of my cat Wilson how can I play the game again
Just one question
When I was younger I played this game but i don’t remember Shaun the sheep was on here can you explain
No games.
Just hate it
So Amazing For Little Ones 👦🏼⭐️
As a teenager, I have helped my younger twin brothers with their learning and nothing has been better than this! 💕
Swashbuckle Keeps freezing on iPad Mini 2
Hi I used to have this game when I was 4 or 5. And when I was 8 or 9 playing Swashbuckle Urchin Serching, the game keeps freezing on iPad Mini 2, PLZZZ CAN U FIX IT IN MY OLD iPad PLZZZ, Speedy.
LOVED IT
I have been playing this since I was maybe 5 ? Honestly I have no idea but I remember most of the games I also liked the arts one and the let’s learn one but I never had the bedtime one
RIP the old Swashbuckle game
I miss the old Swashbuckle game cause it was like you could collect the gems on the game board. It was so fun you know.
Nostalgic
This game is so nostalgic but that’s just one thing I want the old branding back. I get that they did a rebrand, but the closest thing I can get to the original version I played is putting the old app icon back with Shortcuts and yea that that works and I know that someone’s games haven’t been updated yet so they feature the old logos like the Peter Rabbit one. The fact that the blobs aren’t in the game anymore (I know they technically are but they are squares and they’re not the same) It’s kind of sad to be honest, and also the CBeebies idents aren’t good anymore BUT I love this game, even though it’s not as good as it was. I still love this game so much.
Completely changed
My little cousin was playing on it and I used to play it when I was younger so I want to see if my favourite game was on there still and to my surprise the games that I remember are gone but my little cousin really likes it and I’m happy to see swashbucklers on there
Good but a few problems
I have played this for ages and it has never made me bored! I deleted it a few months ago because I am growing out of these type of games! I would recommend downloading but I want to address some problems? The first problem is that some games are unplayable LITERALLY like I can’t remember what games but 5 yr old me would click on a random new game and it would NEVER LOAD! It was only a few games and they looked amazing so can you fix that bug? It is overall a good game 10/10
bring back old cbeebies playtime island!
i get it that they should update their app but i find the old one more enjoyable and funnier as i played it everyday and never got bored whereas the new one is not the same and just very uninteresting.please bring back old cbeebies !
Good but one thing
When I was younger I loved this game I used to play it even when I was 9 but the old map was really cool and I’ve seen the other reviews abt that it has old data that can’t be used for newer device but u can remake it right?? Not that hard
Awesome play
Its very fun and I love how the new features are added all the time . I don’t know how to make a more fun happy game .
It is bad
add or older kids games
Update Global Glitch in Go Jetters
Hello, can you update global glitch in Go Jetters because I want there to be players lives, time and a green balloon when the finger blows it up and power ups like a magic wand can transform the green balloon into a horse carriage when it gets bigger before it explodes. Quotes for the player is “Abrakazee and Abrakazoo, magic up this into a boo! (Horse carriage)” Thanks, Suzanne Bhaduri xx
