  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.

So please change it I hope am not the crazy girl that’s the only person complaining about this!!! But again LOVE the game 😀😀😍😍😁😁😁
  3. [R19] Bluey 1/5 · US Dumb paywalls: Everything is behind a paywall now my little sister can’t even play, the only characters she can us is Bluey and bingo, tell me that not dumb

  7. [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.
  8. [R28] Bluey 1/5 · US 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
  9. [R32] Bluey 2/5 · US 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.
