You have to pay soooooo much money and some people don’t want to pay that much please please change it!!!!!
Too expensive for what it is
This type of app could benefit from a one-time payment and not the $8+ a month membership. This is outrageous!
Over price .
This game makes me broke and is for 3yr olds.
This game is bad
It doesn’t give you all the games only two
Booo
How do I keep up with monthly charges on this app
Pls
Put another place
Horrible Business Practice
The subscription ($6.99 USD) is unacceptable for a full mobile game. Your child may pressure you to pay for this and other games from Budge Studio, which ranges (from what I've found) $6.99 - $12.99 per month subscription.
The interface is designed to reel children into a subscription or download other Budge Studio games (also subscription based). Bluey and Bingo (2/38 characters) are your only options. There are 3 interactable maps (3/41 maps) you're allowed to play. Pressing on a locked map or character will bring you to a subscription screen. The top left of the menu will bring you to a full list of Budge Studio games, which also ask for a subscription.
I'm not against subscriptions, a well made game deserves to be paid for. I think most people would agree though, that a one-off payment, or a lower subscription, would be better. If your children love bluey and uses this app for one year, you are paying roughly $80 USD, for ONE mobile game.
I will not show this game to my children unless Budge Studios switches to a one-off payment or the monthly fee is brought way, way down to something reasonable. This game is more trouble than it's worth. I won't be supporting this practice and will encourage others to do the same.

This is a scam
This game sucks, you only get bluey and bingo when you first download it, not even the parents. And you also only get two maps to role play with. Everything else is locked behind a paywall that has you paying 7 bucks a month. So this game sucks
Bluey the Claire
Hi
I like it, but I don’t like it
I like the game I just wanna play more than two areas with more than two people without having to pay money
Horrible
My mom won’t let me play because you have to pay money so you should make it that you won’t have to pay money🤬
Excellent app, but Easter episode/land got deleted. It’s still on our other tablet though.
Excellent app, but ads even on paid purchase
Free
You should make it so all the episodes of Bluey let’s play free
Be young to play
Lots of different worlds
Very limited…
It’s a good game, but THE SUBSCRIPTION IS STUPID!! Like 3.99$ is crazy considering that it is 48$ a year, and you only get two color thingys and two mini games and two characters!! Please fix this subscription problem,…

Waste of time
Look, the concept is great and I do think a good role play game is fun but, only getting like 3 downloadable games and 2 available characters without buying? No no uh uh not doing that. Deleted immediately. Parents, if you want a free no boredom road-trip game, don’t choose this one, 2 stars for concept i guess.
No way!
I hate how everything involves money!! Isn’t bluey child free?? 😡
Bluey:Let’s play
I love the game but I don’t like the games that we can play with out paying maybe change the games that we can play! It actually, would be great if you could add more then two games or unlock all of them that would be amazing! and bye the way l tried to update the games but I couldn’t so please try to fix that-the two games. Thank you for the experience I really appreciate it.
Mid
Mostly pay to win, you spawn with only two worlds and you have to pay to even unlock another room of the house, or even unlock any character. You spawn with only bluey and bingo. It's okay but i do not recommend.
Nearly everything is paywalled
There are some cute and fun features in this app, but so much of it is paywalled it feels like you are forced to pay if you want any enjoyment out of it. Even the free games have assets that are “locked” to paying users. This will only lead to frustrated children begging their parents to purchase the subscription…
That’s my main issue with this app and others like it. I wouldn’t mind making a one time purchase for an app like this, but it just isn’t worth a monthly subscription.
