First Fun Learning Reviews

FirstFunLearning and FirstFunLearning peak a boo all from the same developer, completely lock my phone up almost as soon as I go to open FirstFunLearning . I downloaded it for my 18 month old to play with and opened it and FirstFunLearning locked up on the opening screen and then locked my entire phone up along with it. None of my buttons to include the home button would work. I had to do a hard reset on the phone just to get it unfrozen. It’s not my memory because after looking into that, I found that I still have almost 75 gigs of space left on my storage. So I checked other apps. I then opened every app I had available on my phone that was on my screen and none of them did locked up. I even left them all running in the background to see if I could replicate the issue while I continued opening apps. Then I get to these last apps which are by this developer and boom. It completely locked my phone up again. Then I hard reset my phone again and closed everything out and checked my WiFi connection by running a speed test from my phone. It showed that I was getting 100mbps at the current moment. So I then open this developer’s app and only FirstFunLearning and it froze my phone up for a 3rd time with nothing else open or running in the background.

I've watched over 10 programs. I marked each as favorites and selected to download. None of the content that I watched while online downloaded to my offline library. I contacted customer service twice. The first time, one show ended up in my offline library but I didn't hear from them as to why the offline library wasn't getting populated. I contacted them again after I watched 4 more shows online and afterwards, one more episode showed up. I still haven't heard from anyone. I still do not know why the rest of my library isn't available. If you like the programming and plan on watching while online, then it's a fine app. If you are planning on using this while traveling, camping, flying, or anything else where you can't get online, then save yourself the trouble and plan something else. This has been frustrating and I'm regretting paying for the month!

I ordered the subscription for what I thought was access for eveything which is $3.99 a month which is pricey to begin with. Turns out no the “standard” subscription just lets you watch the videos but doesn’t let you play the activities. Instead you need to spend more for the “premium” subscription which is $5.99 a month.
Clearly Babyfirst is not about anything other than making money. If you truly cared about kids you would offer one reasonable subscription price. I refuse to pay almost $6 a month for the limited amount of activities when that is the only thing my child uses it for.
You also should make it much clearer as to what you will receive with each subscription.
Babyfirst started off decent my first child used to watch the channel on cable and we paid an extra fee to get the channel. There were no ads on it either. Now it’s full of ads (which means you are making money)so there is no need to also charge parents more money to let the kids play activities on FirstFunLearning . Your BabyU was also free years ago and it was loaded with great activities for kids.

I paid for the subscription because my daughter absolutely loves FirstFunLearning and watches BabyFirst all the time on tv. I have lots of friends and family that have never heard of BabyFirst and have told them about how wonderful and educational it is for little ones and they agree. Many have signed up and paid to watch the channel on tv, but also have paid for FirstFunLearning . We wanted full access to all the amazing videos, games, etc. that are offered. But....Since I started paying for it....It freezes, doesn’t work, locks me out, only allows the non payer version and more. It is extremely frustrating for my baby and me. I just paid for another month but will be canceling it after it is up. I am wasting money every month! I would appreciate it if you would rectify this and do the right thing and reimburse the months I have paid. It is unacceptable. Thank you for your time. I hope you do the right thing.

First. FirstFunLearning is a little expensive for a baby app. I downloaded it because my daughter loves the shows on the channel. I should have read the reviews first. Every few days I have to restore purchases. It doesn’t charge again but it’s in convenient to do every few days. The videos are only about 3 or 4 minutes long. If there is a way to autoplay the videos I haven’t figured it out yet. I initially got FirstFunLearning for a road trip, so imagine my surprise when every few minutes I had to tap another video to play. To download the videos it seems as if you actually have to go In And watch the entire video, THEN it will be in the downloads. I only have about 7 videos because it takes so long to do when you’re already a busy parent. The advertising states that you can use on multiple devices. When trying to add it to Dads phone there was no way to bypass having to re purchase and we are not paying twice for this crap of an ap. I stupidly paid for a years subscription, but I will not be renewing when the time comes. They really need to update the features/user friendliness and at a minimum have an auto play option!!!

First, The content is fantastic. However, the IT team is terrible. It logs us out of FirstFunLearning daily, the movies don’t match up to the one you chose, and the layout is not as user friendly as before. They need a new layout that is easier to navigate, but most importantly, stop kicking us out of FirstFunLearning so we have to log in constantly. And please fix the full movies…when you click on Tillie’s big camping adventure, Harry’s circus train plays. Since we pay for it, it’s super frustrating. Again, the content is great and parents don’t have to worry about what the children see on the tv. We can walk away and not have to monitor what they’re watching. Please just fix these technical things and it’ll be perfect.

I was inspired to stop and give the First app a review. It’s unlike anything I’ve come across in young children’s online entertainment (something I am very particular about, as it is important to both entertain and teach. Bonus that it something we can enjoy together.) FirstFunLearning works well with few issues (the times there were it seemed that it was more of a network issue and not an app issue. Easy to restore and stays logged in across a multitude of devices!) I highly recommend FirstFunLearning. We love the catchy tunes, cute characters, and extensive choices of engaging content.

My 2 year old is in love with FirstFunLearning. Well with the purchase. One of my favorite features, BEFORE she figured it out, was that the screen locks. In other apps she would click all over the place and bring up different screens, with FirstFunLearning, it locks and you have to double tap the lock to change the show. Unfortunately, after watching us do this, she has now figured it out. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but she gets herself stuck in shows she doesn’t like and then gets frustrated! Again, well with the purchase, it keeps her super entertained and is teaching her at the same time

Sigh. I regret that I paid for a year subscription in advance, else I would be unsubscribing. Simply put-your videos aren’t playing...period. Doesn’t matter if your online, offline/downloaded, if you select the “all” option, the videos rarely start or simply don’t start at all. And even if you are lucky enough to get one of them going if the child touches the screen at all it freezes and you have to start all over again. Might I suggest a complete overhaul since your Christmas roll-out with an option that allows the parent to lock the screen when “all” videos of a show have been selected. Thank you.

Bought FirstFunLearning for my daughter when we moved and don’t have access to the baby first channel. Absolutely loved it at first, since having updates and what not - FirstFunLearning will only work half the time. There’s an ad that pops up when you open it (if you are already subscribed or not) to subscribe for full access. 90% of the time my daughter tries to use it, the ad doesn’t load and there’s no way around the blank screen. Therefore unable to use FirstFunLearning. Such a bummer since I paid for a yearly membership and have only been able to use it twice in the past two months.

Update: for the last two weeks we have had no issues now with FirstFunLearning!

We recently got a new updated iPad to use since the old one we had was no longer compatible, now FirstFunLearning doesn’t even open and crashes immediately. We’re so disappointed that our child can’t use all of the games and videos that we paid for. We won’t be renewing our subscription unless something changes.

*UPDATE 7/20*
I’m updating my review to a 4/5. We bought a new iPad and FirstFunLearning still wouldn’t work, we ended up having to uninstall FirstFunLearning a few times and re-sign into our apple account. But it works now and so far so good! Customer service was okay - they seemed to treat me like I was an idiot but it’s whatever; we’re just happy that FirstFunLearning works for now!

I love FirstFunLearning so much because my child loves interacting with the videos. He will laugh and jump up and down. This also works so well when he has an attitude, it really calms him. Cute, funny and appropriate cartoons make a parent smile.
My only problem with FirstFunLearning is that you have to pay or watch an add to see a video. This upsets me because I don’t want to pay to have my child watch some funny or cute video. Most of these videos should be free, because we all have different life styles. I think my child should also have the freedom to explore and learn on FirstFunLearning .
FirstFunLearning has brought my family joy, just needs some improvement.
Sincerely, Alexa Gatewood

FirstFunLearning has everything ! Sleepy time content with soothing music and relaxing displays that has become apart of our evening routine and all of the videos are educational, giving them something that they love which is also good for them! There’s also a section with fun educational games and with the price of $3 a month you really can’t beat that ! We paid for the full year and you can download videos so if you have a tablet or iPad , they can watch videos on the go even when there’s no WiFi available. I’d definitely give it a try ! It’s worth it ! Trust me !

I love FirstFunLearning. It’s awesome. Me and my boyfriend are in our 20s and we absolutely love this. I happen to be an age reggressor which means that I can actually go into the mindset of a baby or toddler and FirstFunLearning is awesome when that happens, however there is one thing that isn’t on there that should be on there, and that is a live stream for the lullabies. I do find that my lullaby compilations will not auto play For whatever reason and when I do it on live TV there is way too many commercials if that was added on there that would make it even better. I love FirstFunLearning and totally recommend it.

Can't get enough of it! It's easy to use, and has a stunning interface that's safe for kids. Both my kids, two and five, use this tool. Through games and videos, I can help them with their everyday routines. Also, I'm glad to see books and songs have been added. When I had a small problem with my subscription access, their customer service team was extremely helpful. Getting this problem fixed took me a while because I'm not tech-savvy, but they were very patient and they didn't give up until everything was sorted out. Your characters are like the best friends of my kids. My kids and I love your app. It deserves five stars.

It has teletubbies delete teletubbies now! Add fred and Fiona which is one of my favorites! Add Tec the tractor and squeak! Add tv show pilots add more games, add a game where you choose a character from baby first and then you have to pick every single instrument you want it to play! First you pick your character, and include squeak tec the tractor and fred and fiona but not bob the builder or teletubbies or math party or word party then you choose one instrument and there is every single one like instruments from around the world and make it include over 50+ instruments and do not put oops wrong instrument because every character can play every instrument. And add both petey paintbrushes the old one and the new one, thanks! And make this free

We went on our second trip from Florida to NYC. The first time it did not work at all. Boy that was a fun trip with a 10 month old. I spent a lot of time watching a lot of videos so they can upload because that's the only way you can load them onto your computer!!! BAD!!! You have to keep going back and opening another video so it uploads.
The second trip it starting working about 20 minutes and then of course it stopped. This company should not promote that this as an upload that works "anywhere". Because it does NOT!!! We truly depended on this to help us out with the chaotic plane trip with a 17 month old. Thanks!!!!! Tomorrow we leave and I cannot call the company because they are closed in Sunday. No help. This is going to to LOTS OF FUN!!!!!!

We purchased an annual subscription about 6 months ago, before FirstFunLearning update and before Apple family sharing under one of our Apple id’s. After family sharing and FirstFunLearning update, we were unable to log in and use our subscription. I emailed the mobile app help email address, and we were able to fix all the log in issues in 24 hours. The purchaser Apple ID has to go and re confirm their subscription on their Apple ID account. Then the family plan user has to uninstall and reinstall all versions of their baby first apps that use a subscription. Within 24 hours, the family plan users should be able to see the option on the newly downloaded app to log in using the main email and password. The customer service rep through email was very helpful.

We have had FirstFunLearning for about 2 years now- first for my son and now also for my daughter. All of their content is readily available plus much much more. Aside from the shows and songs, there are books, games, many learning and creativity activities (most of with the beloved characters) loaded onto FirstFunLearning . My son LOVES reading the books on there!

Aside from FirstFunLearning being easy for my kids to use (they are newly 4 and 1.5 years old), their communication when speaking with support is highly appreciated. They are responsive and always take the time to truly try and figure out our needs. Upon the recent update of their app, I was having some connectivity issues and they took the time to go back and forth with their IT department with my inquiries and suggestions to truly make it work.

I will continue to have FirstFunLearning as long as my children want it. I’ve been incredibly happy with it this far.

We all became addicted to this channel when our 20-month-old twins were infants. The catchy songs and adorable shows make learning fun for our little ones. The shows help reinforce what we are teaching them, and they constantly surprise us with things I know they are learning from watching the shows. They have even started singing parts of the songs. Makes my heart so happy!
I’m so thankful we can still watch it even without cable. FirstFunLearning recently saved the day during a road trip—thank you, BabyFirst!
