This would be nice if it wasn't for the barrage of ads around every turn and the attempt to collect “in app purchases” every five minutes. So Lame. Was hoping i could let my kid push on the animals to make noise. But with the all the ads instead of hearing a moo! The little one is whisked away to the App Store to pay to remove ads. Really un-usable app for a toddler. Simply useless.

As with Animal Peekaboo (see my review), the developer has created an app that actively distracts its users -- young children -- while using it. A bouncing button on the title page invites my toddler to tap, leading him to a page where he's frustrated because he can't play. Another button takes him to the App Store, again blocking his play.

And now the developer has included ads in the app. Like my child can read! This change to app has prompted me to remove the app and I will never download another app from this developer. [Hint to the developer: don't put ads in apps targeted at children. Hint two: if you want parents to buy your apps, don't design them to frustrate children. Final hint: if you want to entice parents to buy, offer fully-functional versions with limited content (fewer animals, for example).]

Besides these issues, the music is too loud relative to the animal sounds and spoken words and can't be turned off; changing pages is too slow; and various animal names are mispronounced (see "squirrel" and "zebra" -- short 'e' on "zebra"?).

Don't believe the 5 stars in this version, and DO NOT UPDATE if you have an old version. I work in Asia creating apps and there are groups that accept money in exchange for giving 5 stars. Notice the only 5 star comment is in broken English? Putting ads on what was once an ad-free app is inexcusable. Especially since they advertised improved graphics as the reason for the update, but it was really just to include ads and nothing was changed. In addition to this, the previous version had so many many 1 star reviews that they created a false update just to have them "removed." Tab Tales is one of the worse companies in the business. This app wasn't even created by them originally ... They lack the English skills to be able to create a quality program that any parent who speaks fluent English would actually want to purchase.
