Doesn’t work at all
Keeps freezing and glitching. So annoying and I’m mad I paid money for this!
Update problems
I am having a lot of trouble with the newest update in 2 areas. The first has been discussed before when I ski down the hill when I try to get the plunger Sam misses it. And I have to go down the same route again sometimes I get the plunger sometimes I don’t The other problem is when pajama Sam was in jail when I stretch the screen the quit and menu buttons get in the way of the cookie box top and it makes it hard to tap.
And another thing that I just discovered that there are times when I temporarily step out of the app and when I go back in to save the game becomes frozen and it’s having the same problem on pajama Sam, no need to hide when it’s dark outside.
I love these games and I hope they get fixed.

Bug
Can’t get plunger so can’t progress :/ sad
Game is broken, skip!
Currently this will be a waste of money as you CANNOT get the plunger out of the mountain. Developer has updated game but is ignoring feedback at this point, AVOID THIS VERSION AS IT IS A SCAM!
Hate the new update!
The screen is way too small now, and why is the skip button so big? Please change it back to the way it was!
Bad
I got this game because I remembered playing it as a kid. The computer version worked fairly well from what I remember, but the app version is not worth the money. It's difficult to pull up the inventory and pretty much impossible to see your cursor, making it even more impossible to collect certain box tops.
Can't finish when getting Granny Smythe
No way to get into the bottom bar without jumping off an almond.. Very upset, want my money back!!
Impossible
I got this app because I played it when I was younger and thought it'd be fun to try the app. However, I realized shortly into playing it that there are many missing elements that make it impossible to solve the game. At first I thought that they had changed it from the computer game to make it fun for those who had already beaten that one, but eventually I saw that the game was just incomplete. I'm very disappointed.
Fun but very buggy
It’s a lot of fun, they did a great job at bringing back all the fun of the original but I keep experiencing bugs that are ruining the experience. If I just turn off my screen and try to turn it back on to play, the screen comes right back up where I left off but no input works anymore. I can’t click anything including being able to save my game which is frustrating. I close out the game entirely and lose all my progress before the last save which can be 20-30 minutes of progress lost sometimes. The pan and zoom screen option is also very buggy and I’ve found it unusable. If this gets fixed I’d happily adjust my review to 5 stars because I love this game so much.
I wish they never updated this game or any others
My child loves Pajama Sam and plays these games on repeat. However the new update has made the playing screen too small for her to really be able to point and click. Also there’s a major bug. When she had to ski according to the ski ticket instructions to get the plumbers plunger off the mountain she kept trying to grab it, and the game would not let her. She rage quit and said she doesn’t want to play Pajama Sam ever again.
Can’t take a photo in the photo booth
I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong or it’s a bug but my niece and I can’t find out how to actually take the picture in the photo booth. I can change his facial expressions but the big button is greyed out. I don’t know if I’m clicking something improperly because, like everyone else, I find the cursor super fussy. If the developer could reach out and let me know how to fix it or tell me what I’m doing wrong, would be much appreciated. I’ve scoured Google and can’t find an answer.
Granny Smythe
I'm having the same problem as others. You can't open the tool menu, and stay on the almonds in the inner ring. If they could fix that then I'd been pleased as punch!
Ugh
Honestly, I'm with skittles the kitty. I KEEP FALLING OFF THE ALMOND. All of the movement between screens is also slightly too close to objects you actually need to play the game, causing back and forth sliding until you eventually position your finger again for the 20th time.
Fix it
It just like the old computer version but with a touch screen instead of a mouse. The problem is that your finger is not as per use as a mouse so it's very hard to collect boxtops near an entrance because the game thinks your trying to go through the the entrance no collect a boxtop. Also, it is IMPOSSIBLE to save Granny Smith from the Carmel because to acres your inventory you have to press the bottom of the screen but the game thinks your trying to move v
Backward. It literally impossible and it a severe issue that needs fixed

NO SOUND
I Want dialogue and sound that's why I bought the game, to hear Pamela Aldon do her awesome pajama voice. Can someone fix this it's all that it needs.
