★★★★ "Theft. Pay for ad free, but app ads still show, clearly marked "ad". also the more apps button is effectively just more ads, and just another annoyance for your child to click on . Give my money back." - David Spurlock

★★★★ Tebogo Diphoko 4/8/2026 v52.08
This app is complete adware. The aim is to push ads and your child will never be entertained and/or educated. An ad every 30 seconds. The app is also called kids games but it's more like a video wrapper meant to show the same videos you will find on YouTube. Do better for your kids and install apps that actually truelly edutain them without misleading them. You will also see in their response that they don't care and give the most generic of answers

Worst App ever.I purchased the remove Ads and still Ads popout with games not age appropriate. I purchased also the 8 app pack but only 6 apps available. Not recommended. and they dont do refunds.
★★★★ sean mcie 1/19/2026 v52.08
needs a half star option. every time my daughter plays it it glitches out or freezes up. And the constant pop up adds definitely do not recommend

My Grandkids love baby Shark songs and games
★★★★ Z Denn 4/28/2025 v41.03
This is supposed to be a toddlers game but there are so many ads that I'm afraid to even let my child play it.
★★★★ David Spurlock 4/5/2025 v41.03

★★★★ Shan Vincent Villareal 2/11/2025
This app is a fake because you will never earn money IRL
★★★★ Paul Goode 1/17/2025
Designers gonna have to come to terms with the fact that ads in little kids games, aren't going to get them anywhere. Especially/ exclusively the ones with excessive ads. I delete them real quick.
★★★★ Rachel Rutesherwa 1/14/2025 v40.01

I loved baby shark when I was a baby but now that I look at it, I'm 11 and now it looks too childish to me. 1 star, I hate it.

App will NOT Close ! Stays open and even plays in background, touch functions are hit and miss PLEASE FIX!!
★★★★ Juni B 9/30/2024 v40.01
Remove Ads, doesn't remove all the ads. It costs $5 to get rid of the irrelevant ads, but there are still ads for other pinkfong babyshark games. Which causes my young children a lot of distress when they don't understand why that part of the game doesn't work. Paying $5 to remove ads, should remove ALL THE ADS.
★★★★ Ashley 8/22/2024 v39.96
Even when you pay to have no adverts, the app advertises it's own brand products. Avoid.
★★★★ Luis Sheppard 8/15/2024 v40.01
Cannot go more than 30 seconds without an advert. No real games, more videos than anything. Avoid it.
★★★★ Shireena Begum 8/14/2024 v40.01
IDIOT PINKFONG IS FAT

★★★★ Shaqir Erasmus 8/3/2024 v39.96
Not toddler friendly. All it wants you to do is subscribe. No free option for kids. It's designed to frustrate them so you are forced to get the no ads option.
★★★★ Kawaii Kaykay 7/26/2024
This game is babyish Hahahaha👶🏻🍼👶🏻🍼
★★★★ Erin Muransky 6/22/2024 v39.96
I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED! I purchased this app for my daughter and paid for the "no ads" version. It was a waste of money! They still have a ton of ads for their own games, and she spends more time getting stuck on ads than playing the limited games that they do have. Don't waste your money.
★★★★ mashalam 6/22/2024
Omg
★★★★ Chris Cuaca 6/21/2024
It has infinite ads
★★★★ Kaotic Man 6/9/2024 v39.96
It disgusting how you place your adds it's a toddler game they can't read but you put colorful adds just because you know it will get you more money because there toddlers you know they going to touch it no need to reply I'm deleting it and blocking your company's name and address your fuc&ing disgusting
★★★★★ Rakhshanda Laquisha Rhea 1/5/2026
eehh... idk. My parents told me to play this when i was 6, but now it just got boring since now im 10yo so i just told my lil sis to play with it as she is still little but she refused to play as she thought that it was weird and that the boy with the red hair and blue shirt is very freaky. idk why she thought about that but tbh i didnt really like the game either when i was younger.
★★★★★ Jasmine Cardenas 5/24/2025 v41.03
game was good loke 5 stars but then it stopped working
★★★★★ Jorge Medina 3/29/2025 v41.03
The games are entertaining. But if I'm paying a subscription and my daughter is still opening Ads every few minutes, that defeats the purpose for me. Waste of money, like most of these kids games... And they have a ”single pay" option, that just unlocks one part of the app? Foul... I'm out.
★★★★★ Johnette Kaimi 12/6/2024
Very slow install
★★★★★ MARIA XENOPHON 10/19/2024 v40.01
It keeps freezing up.
★★★★★ Duc Pham 8/25/2024 v40.01
Too many ads for a kid game. Ads block contents from time to time
