  1. [R1] Bluey 1/5 · US 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.
  2. [R11] Bluey 5/5 · US 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:(
  3. [R13] Bluey 1/5 · US 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
  4. [R15] Bluey 3/5 · US New free room: I Love the game but it is missing a room it is mom and dad’s bedroom and whenever you make it please make it free and make mom and dad free for that room 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
  5. [R2] Bluey 5/5 · US Bluey let’s play: This is a good app for a kid who loves bluey because it’s extremely fun
  6. [R5] Bluey 5/5 · US Parents this is good for kids: Parents this is the best game for your children and it a optional thing if you wanna pay but still good

  8. [R20] Bluey 5/5 · US My favorite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This is my favorite game since I was little
  9. [R3] Bluey 3/5 · US 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?

  10. [R4] Bluey 1/5 · US 🤣: Does not give a lot of things to do!but so fun!🤣
  11. [R6] Bluey 3/5 · US 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.
  12. [R10] Bluey 1/5 · US 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.
