Curious George: Zoo Animals App Reviews

I didnt even get to use the app because it never downloaded. I can download other things, so I know the problem is with the app itself. I gave it one star because the rating feature would not let me save my review with zero stars.

This is his favorite app and I find it does have value. Im even willing to pay extra for the other sections. BUT, the tease sections of "coming soon confuse the heck out of him. He doesnt understand why they wont open and gets frustrated. Please consider your audience

I have this on 2 devices and Ive never had problem with downloading or stability. It is a sweet, lightly educational app for 2-6 year olds with tons of features for free: animals, educational videos, games and a fun and fluid sticker book with savable images. YES you have to pay for additional sections... but lets get real: its $.99 per section, currently $2 total for a ton of content. You can afford it - few if any $2 toys will generate as much enjoyment and learning.

My almost 3 year old son loves this app. Yes Ive paid to unlock the other portions and I will keep paying. When were out shopping his sit in his stroller or shopping cart quietly and plays. He just loves his George and is excited when mommy shows him that a new section of the zoo is open.

Restore purchases but this one does not have an options menu with that option. Can anyone leave a comment to resolve this. Thank you!

The app itself is cute and maybe worth a couple of bucks. But when you consider this is an app that has both iphone and ipad versions with the same in-app purchases, it just shouts GREED! After paying $3 (overpriced in itself) for the Deep Freeze and the farm upgrades for my ipad, my son wanted to play it on my iphone. HMH wants another to charge again for that. And the added content? The gameplay is no different from the first free section. Its just not worth it.

App does not Update or download with Wifi at home. Cannot delete the app either. Did everything to try and get rid of it.

My two year old loves it but she cant really play the games as they are intended. She just loves Curious George and handling my iPhone. My 15 year old was frustrated that some of the games dont make sense. The videos are great. I was annoyed by the false advertising in the app store of the game costing .99. When you purchase it you find out that you only bought one small part of the game. I will avoid Houghton Mifflin in the future. I trusted them based on their textbook business. They should stick to textbooks!

The app was confusing for my four year old. I like apps where I can just let her play without my constant guidance. It sometimes freezes up on my 4S.

Got it for my 3 yr old. He loves it, just .99 cents doesnt buy it all, u have to purchase the other places.

Got this crappy app and it never opened I want my dollar back cause imagine each of us who paid a dollar n it never worked or crashed this ahole is making lots of money off of people who actually still care to buy app . Dont waste your money and also how the hell can u get a refund!! Anyone know please comment and also I rate it a ZERO !!! But of course it wont let you

This is a great learning game for my 3 year old. We both enjoy the videos. But I did not like the purchase more habitats buttons ,right where she would hit them. Plus the game keeps freezing up. We have to go to another world to get it to unfreeze and she gets frustrated . This is a terrific app if they will fix the freezing up problem and move the purchase more habitats buttons.

My two year old son has a few pages worth of apps on our iPad (yes, I know what some are thinking, but they highly educational, thank you very much ;) and this is definitely in his top row of favorite apps. Yes, you do have to purchase the other adventures, but theyre only .99 and if your child is in to Curious George like mine, then its well worth it. Weve only had problems after first purchasing a new world, or whatever you call them! Ive noticed if I delete it and re-download it, it works much better. It may say it costs .99 even after youve already paid for it, but immediately after clicking "buy" it will let you know its free because you have already purchased it (just make sure its on the same iTunes account). Weve had this game about a year and he still loves to play it. I highly recommend for younger children and I do want to note, The Man in the Yellow Hat is great, so informative and very, very kind.

I downloaded this for my little brother and he seems to enjoy the free part of the game but the only thing I dont like is that you have to pay for each part of the zoo! Please do something about that! Otherwise, great app!

Only app I ever bought that crashed instantly. I want my money back!

This is a nice app, genuinely entertaining and engaging for the Under 6 Set; however, it has two major drawbacks. First is the cost. For the initial purchase price, you are introduced to George bouncing up and down on the pages of a pop-up storybook zoo which represents all the adventures he is about to take you on. The man with the yellow hat (TMWTYH) speaks to YOU and to George, for almost the entire time, from a fixed bubble in the upper right-hand corner. When you tap "play" you land at the zoos first "page," where the man in the yellow hat (emerging from his bubble for a moment) tells George hes going to be helping the zookeeper out for the day - doing things like feeding and bathing the animals - but also inviting YOU to come along and help George to be a good little monkey while hes there and to follow directions so he wont get into any trouble. TMWTYH then returns to his bubble at the top of the page where HE, and not the zookeeper, gives all the directions about feeding and bathing the animals TO YOU (and you do them) while George does nothing at all except occasionally jump feebly up and down and make a monkey sound. Odd. Since this is a story about the worlds most beloved and personality-packed monkey, I would have expected first-rate animation showing a sweet-but-curious monkey irrepressible in his tendency to cause trouble (by not following directions) every time you turn around. But instead, the animation in this app is stiff and stunted, and George does nothing AT ALL except - at the zoo - stand by while you do chores as instructed, or - during the lovely real-life video footage of these animals in their natural habitats which follows - popping up at the perimeter with a pair of binoculars or, again, jumping up and down. George makes no movements I would even call monkey-like. So theres a real disconnect between storyline and the action. AND the animation disappoints. But, furthermore, once youve fed and washed the 5 or so animals in the first yard or "page" and seen their videos, thats all you can do, besides claiming a few "sticker." There are games, but youre locked out unless you pay the purchase price again. And there are more sections of the zoo to visit, but again you must pay the purchase price for EACH OF THEM. Perhaps, if this were first-rate animation and a chance to really get inside a Curious George story and interact with the little imp, Id be willing to pay $5 to do it. But, in that case, Id rather just be asked for the money up front, and then be thrilled from the very start for having done so. Instead, with this app, I was let down to begin with, and then subsequently let down again and again and again with every insulting demand for yet another payment of the purchase price.

Just paid for this app the 1st time my daughter uses it and it crashes and now when you load it all we get is. White screen - to top it off I cant even find a contact number etc to get help I want my money back if its not going to work!

Ran good until the update. Been trying for over 2 weeks to install the update. No luck.

Def one of my sons favorite apps. He loves watching the educational animal videos.

Dont waste your money
