- [R1] Bluey Three things to do: Only three things to do and all the other ones you have to purchase with money and I don’t wanna do this. Do not install this game.
- [R3] Bluey I like it but one thing about it: So I LOVE the game it’s cool but almost every single game in it costs MONEY am trying too save my money but I love this game so maybe you can change it and do we have too sud too unlock it all? So please change it I hope am not the crazy girl that’s the only person complaining about this!!! But again LOVE the game 😀😀😍😍😁😁😁
- [R4] Bluey 🤣: Does not give a lot of things to do!but so fun!🤣
- [R13] Bluey Game is just money hungry: They only give you 2 characters bingo and bluey and only like one place to play in the kitchen I feel kids won’t want to play this since they only have 1 place to play in I also feel this game is just money hungry and doesn’t care and honestly there’s no point to make this game need money it’s a kids game it’s rude
- [R6] Bluey Money Hungry: This is a great app but the move from 6.99/month to 9.99/month is ridiculous. Especially when you have no option to purchase the game. Unsubscribed. A shame because we really liked all of the options but the greed is just too much.
- [R10] Bluey Too Expensive: $10 a month is too much for a kids game. If you could pay a one time fee to unlock it I would be okay with it. It’s a good game but the recent update is a money grab.
- [R28] Bluey Terrible business model!: This is a terrible business model charging kids a subscription monthly! I could understand if you were allowed to just buy the app or pay for a lifetime subscription, but charging a monthly subscription for little kids if horrible. 5/4/2025 I’ll be canceling this soon. I stick by what I said originally, you should be able to purchase everything outright or pay once for l
- [R32] Bluey Price increase: My son really likes this app but the price increase is absolutely ridiculous. It’s almost as expensive as a streaming service now.
- [R7] Bluey Can’t remove ads: I hate that with the monthly subscription, there are still ads that my child can access. Canceling my subscription immediately.
- [R9] Bluey Fun but I wish that more things were free: Like the title says
- [R11] Bluey Good: I love it I just wish it was free there’s nothing really to go to and there’s 2 characters over like 50 idk why you have to pay:(
