  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. [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? 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. [R4] Bluey 1/5 · US 🤣: Does not give a lot of things to do!but so fun!🤣
  4. [R9] Bluey 3/5 · US Fun but I wish that more things were free: Like the title says
  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
  7. [R8] Bluey 5/5 · US This is the perfect game for me: I’m a grown woman I still play this game. I am 20 but I still like it.
  8. [R20] Bluey 5/5 · US My favorite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This is my favorite game since I was little
  9. [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.
  10. [R7] Bluey 1/5 · US Can’t remove ads: I hate that with the monthly subscription, there are still ads that my child can access. Canceling my subscription immediately.
  11. [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.
  12. [R27] Bluey 5/5 · US Definitely play this game: This game is a load of updates that you can play thousands of games although you have to pay one subscription but it is very cheap and this game is awesome because it’s totally worth it. You get like thousands of games to play with. I love this game so much and this whole message is to the owner of this game. Thank you so much for the new updates
  13. [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
  14. [R65] Avatar World ® 5/5 · GB So fun: Amazing! I love that there are so many free places to go but I wish that you could make more than 3 characters. It is kind of a copy of Toca Boca but in a way it is more fun because so much stuff is free. I recommend 😀Also maybe you could give 200 avatar coins every month and please add more houses that you can customise
  15. [R71] Avatar World ® 5/5 · GB Great game but maybe…: I love this game, you can go to school without paying!! I mean my character is a member of Galaxe. You can do anything you want and you get AW for finding secrets. Maybe you could make some of the secrets a bit easier because they’re quite hard. Maybe you could add a theatre so you could actually perform stuff or a library to borrow books. Thanks for reading this.
  16. [R81] Avatar World ® 4/5 · GB It’s very good 🤙👍: It’s very fun with little need to pay to get special perks. Many places are free with lots of adventures. It’s a good game for kids with no ads and is very fun 🤩
  17. [R97] Avatar World ® 5/5 · GB Fave game: I’m so excited for the dorms to come out thank you so much for making so many things free Pazu and thank you for giving free things to everyone’s toy club. She is so amazing thank you so much.
  18. [R85] Avatar World ® 5/5 · GB Avatar is the best: Love u can have it online and off such a fun game always travel ing to different worlds
