Bought purely out of nostalgia
When i was in kindergarten (this was in 2011 when ipads were still newfangled things) the elementary school i went to had this game on their iPads. I just remembered it again while purchasing the remastered classic angry birds game and decided to purchase this alongside it. Can’t wait to feel five again!! :)
Crashes
I can’t stand it when we pay for apps then they just crash. I’ve updated this app, and done all the others things you do when apps are not working right and this app still won’t load.
PLEASE UPDATE!!
I also am a Teacher of the Visually Impaired: These apps have helped my students gain confidence with the skills that are so difficult for them while having fun. I just bought the whole bundle thinking that I could just update them. I am very upset to see that I cannot use these apps until you update them. PLEASE UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! I would rate it with 5 stars if I could use the apps!!!
Start updating your app!
Please update your app so it works on the latest iOS. I paid for a full suite and my kids haven’t been able to use it for months and months!
Finally updated! Thankyou
Please listen to your users and update your app. It’s the only reason I gave you 2 stars, otherwise it’s a brilliant app.
Good app for pre-K
My 4 year old loves it.
It was an AMAZING app but the company hasn’t updated to be compatible with latest iOS
My littles loved this app and the others in the series. The developer hasn’t updates the software to run on the latest iOS version making the apps obsolete. PLEASE don’t waste your money buying this app since it hasn’t been updates in over 2years. I’ve tried reaching out to the developer via twitter, Facebook, and email. They don’t respond. It’s a shame because it was such a well developed app.
Not working
Hi I am 7 and I love playing this game but it won’t work anymore on my new iPad. Please fix it so it works again.
Please update!!!
Bugs is not supported by the new IOS 11... I’ve paid for something that doesn’t work! So please update your program please so it is compatible with the new iPhones & iPads!!! Thanks. I would have given 5 stars but because it doesn’t work now I have to give you 2.
Update thank you
I can now use this app on new IOS system. Thank you
The best apps!!
The bugs apps are the absolute best apps out there. We had Bug Art, and when it was no longer compatible I was so sad. I think I was just as excited as my kids when it was updated. Then we found all the other apps, and they are just as amazing! Seriously, even I play them. I’m so so happy this developer is back. ❤️
Don’t waste your money
I loved this app and used it often until the ios11 update. Now the app is useless. I’ve been waiting for months for the update.
Please update
My daughter loves this game and now it won’t work. Please update to work with the new iOS 11
Update the app
Its not supported with ios11 and we paid money for it
Please update for IOS 11!
Please update for IOS 11. I just purchased this app, but it is not compatible with my iPad, so my daughter hasn’t been able to use it and she really wants to and it looks amazing.
Please update
I am a speech & language pathologist and have been using this whole series of apps since they were first released. They are among the best apps available. I really missed them when they were on hiatus but am beyond thrilled that they are available again.
Please update this app now!!
I paid for this app I should be able to use this on the newer iPad but I can’t because you have not updated it
Please Update!
Please update this app!! Kids like playing these games.
Not worth the money
Not worth the money
Great app - please update!
This has been such a fantastic app that I have used with my own children, and also with children with disabilities and learning difficulties through my work. I am extremely disappointed this is no longer an option as the app is not supported by my iPad any more. I hope to hear an update will be coming soon.
Thank you for updating
I’m so glad this app has finally been updated. My daughters all love this game as well as the others in this series. Thank you.
Rip Off
They charged $9.99 and then I got a message stating that the app must be updated. I intend to pursue a refund!
Update
Update the app please!!!!!!
Mostly games little education
Too simple and boring for my 5 year old. If you're looking for a learning app look elsewhere
Please update!
I would give 5 stars and even more, but my children and students haven’t been able to use it for a long time because they will not update it. Please Please Please update it! I purchased the bundles both on my home and school devices so I’ve got a lot of money invested in these apps. I feel that if it is not updated, I should receive a refund as we haven’t been able to use it for a long time. PLEASE UNDATE ALL OF YOUR BUGS APPS!
Thank you for updating to the newer iOS versions!
Bought this app years ago and was so sad when it couldn’t be opened on my newer iPad. Now I and my grandchildren are so happy to see these updates! I added to my iPad and bought two that I didn’t have before. Best graphics and adventures for kids of all ages! Jo Ellen
Please update the app!!!!
Need to update the app
Is a fix on the way??
I just purchased and thought this was a fantastic and interactive way to learn. My daughter is yet to enjoy this game. Please have fix soon!!
Please update
These apps were some of my favorites for my kids m, but I keep checking to see if you have updated to work on the new iOS and you still haven’t after what seems like forever. I’d love to come back to give you 5 stars when you update!
REVISED...! Updated and back up and running
Update: Thank you so much for updating! Can’t wait til the other in the series to be updated as well....especially Bugs and Bubbles! Great app for my students but now I can’t use any of your apps😠😡😡😡😢😢 Can you PLEASE UPDATE!!??????!! What a waste of my $$
So disappointed.
Bought every app from this company through a bundle they made because they were awesome apps. Because they haven’t updated my daughter barely got to play it. We didn’t even get to try all 8 apps yet. I wish there was a way to get my money back. I think the company is out of business. I know it can be hard to keep up with the bazillion apple updates but to not be able to use apps you paid money for is fraud.
Need update, please
Please please update these to work with iOS 11. Kids sad these don’t work anymore. Great apps have all the versions.
Please Update!
This was my sons favorite game and he can no longer play it. Please update for iOS 11.
Love all the bug apps- PLEASE UPDATE
I have used these apps for years with my children and they all have found them very engaging. Really hope to see an update soon because I cannot find anything I like better. Please update!!!! THANK YOU for the update. Hoping to see your other apps updated too. I hesitated to buy a new iPad because I knew your app would not work on the new iOS. I’ve been holding onto iPad 1 and 4’s just so my kids can continue to use your apps. We enjoy them so much. Ive been tempted to learn how to make my own to work on the new iOS, but now so excited I don’t have to. Thanks again for a really engaging app that teaches so many things in such a fun way.
Why?
Why are you selling this app and not getting it updated? I have it on an older iPad that I refuse to update so I can still use it on that iPad. I worked with parents that would not update their iPads and I thought they were nuts. Sadly, now I think they were smart. Please update so in can use this on my newer and faster iPad. PLEASE!!!!
Update
Please let people know if you are going to update the app to work with the latest update
Please Update to IOS 11
My child loves this app. Unfortunately, he is no longer able to play it. We truly hope that they will update all of their Bugs and.... apps to work with iOS11! I will turn this to 5 stars once they do; it is that good.
THANK YOU SO MUCH...
We were SooOoOo delighted to see at least one in this group is updated...absolutely LOVE these games. They are nature, lovely sounds, so educational— and it’s teaching so much too. When my son went to see if any his favorite bug games were working yet...like he’s done 100’s of times....he shrieked with delight and came running all excited. So a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for our little corner!!
Please update!
Can’t use anymore, and we miss it. Great game!
Love it!
I use it with my primary students. I love the reinforcement or patterns and basic skills for math and reading.
Needs update for ios11 asap
Hurry up and update please Love this app for a reinforcer.
Updated it
Finally can download on newer iPads!! Yay!!!!!!
Do not buy
The developer needs to update. This does not work and they should not be allowed to sell these programs. Do not buy!
Updates?
My kids love this but it no longer works with ios11
