Hopster: ABC Games for Kids Reviews

by Jessie Jo1980

Kids this age don’t have the capacity to understand what sex is let alone the nuances of sexual proclivities. This is what pedophiles do and it’s called grooming. This completely ignores developmental milestones.. for example, a 2yr old doesn’t understand the simple concept of sharing toys or object permanence .. Teaching them to have empathy for two dudes who want to have sex accomplishes what? (Other than earning brownie points from pedophiles) Stick to kindergarten stuff like counting and colors. Disgusting.

If your goal is to indoctrinate your kid with far left ideas and keep them uneducated in functional studies then Hopster is great. We all know preschool kids should be exposed to LGBTQ agenda first and foremost instead of basic life skills. Why wait until they are older and can fully understand this topic when we can shove it right into their face when they still eating their boogers and learning the alphabet.

I thought this was such an adorable app. Loved all of the different content and that some of my kids’ favorites were in one place. Then I saw the Black Lives Matter and Love is Love songs and immediately deleted Hopster . This content is inappropriate for children, period. These topics are too mature for little eyes and ears who cannot yet understand these issues. You are clearly pushing a liberal agenda. Where is Jesus Loves Me or wholesome content like that?

I loved Hopster, kid friendly safe content! Until pride month. If there was a way to opt out of that content that was pushed front and center I would keep using your app. Our families beliefs don’t line up with that being front and center in front of my young sons eyes. I believe people have the right to marry whoever they want, but I should have a choice in what my kids see and hear. So I will no longer use Hopster, I feel like you brought politics into what use to be a safe area.

I LOVED Hopster until this past month. The videos don’t play at all and it’s frustrating because that’s the main thing my kids love to do with it. Also, the photo booth has never worked for me, but I didn’t mind because everything else did and my kids didn’t seem to mind. I’ve tried uninstalling and installing Hopster , but it doesn’t change anything. I tried searching for an update, but couldn’t find one. I just canceled my subscription and am going to search for a different one because it’s of no use to me anymore. Wish I would’ve canceled before I paid for the next 3 months. 😒

Due to my heritage and culture we don’t celebrate and despise Pagan holidays but Hopster and many others don’t give us the option not to teach our children to celebrate wickedness (Halloween etc) it would be nice if it had this type of option. A option to not push religion and worldly traditions in our children’s faces with the celebrating of sick holidays which all have very dark and evil origins. Respectfully honest, thanks

I really like all the content but the apps intergartion between apple tv and iphone app are terrible, because it doesn’t give you a login, and just pulls from your itunes. If you’re apple tv is not under your email it’s basically impossible to get logged it seems and their website is just giving me constant errors.

Got this to say thank you for adding LGBT+ things to Hopster.

You may get a lot of hate from it and for that I apologize, but people don’t enjoy change, sadly.

They complain that kids are too young to be taught about different relationships other than straight. Which if that’s true then kids shouldn’t be exposed to any type relationships at all.

Teaching kids about other identities and such will teach them that it’s okay to be different, that change is normal, and to overall be more accepting, kind people.

I’ve been bi since 3rd grade or earlier (I had crushes on both girls and boys ) and am proud to be me.

I feel bad for all children who are in bi/trans/homophobic environments as they’ll either grow up to regurgitate they’re parents teachings and hurt others and they’re future or never feeling like they can be themselves which can result in an untimely end (LGBT+ communities have a high rate when it comes to mental illnesses and suicide)

Please keep spreading love and not hate, thank you.

I love that this is limited and curated. With FreeTime I had to go in weekly and delete all of the new junk videos and apps that would get downloaded. On this I don’t have to keep monitoring. I know it’s all good for my kiddos development.

Keeping an extremely active four year old grandchild when you are over seventy can be quite a challenge. He loves this app and the programs are very good. We watch it together as we take a much needed break, several times a day.

This is probably the best kid app I’ve used in a while. For my son it is very easy to navigate. And he Loves the Black History song. I would say he uses Hopster 4 times per week and I don’t have to worry about the content or him Leaving Hopster .

I’ve been letting my little guy use Hopster for over a year - when he started using it, he was 4 (almost 5) and it was amazing for learning technology and watching shows about positive character traits, science, math, and literature. Now that he is 6 and a half, he is still engaged with new shows and activities about diversity, compassion, and positive self identity and self worth. He has old favorites and loves to see what’s new. He’s now using alphabet hotel for phonics and phonemic awareness and enjoys everything science and nature that is interwoven. I can see him using Hopster for at least another year and a half, maybe more.

I praise the developers for being inclusive, and especially for their replies to homophobic people. This alone made me want to download Hopster because i know my daughter will grow up and see lgbtq+ as a normal thing. Thank you guys for representing people who need it most.

This is a wonderful app, full of fun programs for kids. My grandson, who is 3 now has been watching this app since he was 1. It’s full of programs that you can’t get anywhere else and you can download to devices so it can be watched without WiFi.

by Bee Ton

We subscribe to this since over a year and it is one of the best apps out there. Our daughter turned 6yrs and still finds a lot if fun new content to entertain in an educational way. Well done this app creators!

happy pride month ! love the pride section! I am so happy that an app for children is finding ways to include ALL families, not just families with one mother and one father. It took a look of courage to do that and it was executed beautifully. I appreciate that you guys took a risk and was willing to inform kids (and even adults) that the world is not completely black and white 🌈☺️

My daughter loves Hopster! She loves to play games on it and learn how to do things and loves watching the TV shows on it. It took a minute for her to get it but 2-3 she had it down and knew more then I did with it. She definitely learned on Hopster and had lots of fun with it. Thank you this app for making our lives better with your app.

I legit just got this for my 19 month old, because I want to make sure she grows up kind and empathetic. She’s already ridiculously smart for her age with reading books!
I noticed some of the hate you got for Pride Month and that was the final nail in the coffin to me purchasing this.
I’m so happy that an app is so effortlessly inclusive and teaching that there’s no wrong way to love. No one should be shamed by who they love, if it’s not hurting anyone.

So thank you, this app. You’re doing the Lord’s work.

I got this for my 21 month old nephew and this is the only app besides PBS Kids, that keeps him entertained for long periods of time. I love the diversity in it and how catchy the songs that are provided! He tries to sing along and that brings me so much happiness!

Only issue I have is that sometimes it freezes more often and even though I download stuff, it takes a while to load which isn’t bad for me, but for my nephew who’s still grasping patience, he struggles a little with that 🥺💞

My 4yr old asks me to download new apps nearly everyday. With that, we sign up for a lot of trials or I pay for a month and immediately unsubscribe because I know she will never play it again. With this app, I have to renew it every single month because she comes running when she’s see’s the content is restricted/expired. After 6x of buying and unsubscribing, I realize this is a game she keeps going back to. It has become a mandatory game on her iPad. My favorite part is the e-mail updates I get with what she does inside the game!

Had to cancel subscription when I found out Hopster was planning on spending the month of June to push an LGBT agenda on my toddler. Unbelievable! You can't even watch kids shows without having your toddler taught ideas that most parents don't want their kids thinking about until they are old enough to be sensitive to the issue of alternative lifestyles.

I was just notified that this app now has LBGTQ content. I immediately uninstalled Hopster . I do not believe that LBGTQ content has any place in an app for young children. I am disappointed that the creators of Hopster would seek to expose children to such concepts. Children do not need to be exposed to sexuality of any kind through an app. Children’s entertainment should be free of such things. Let kids be kids.

Love the no ads and learning portion of Hopster but don’t think LGBT needs to be shoved down my 4 year olds throat. I need to watch a littler closer when she’s on Hopster because when she should be innocently learning she’s instead asking questions that her little mind isn’t yet ready for.

by Kwillia

We had an issue with the things being locked but I just had to signed into Hopster again so keep that in mind but my daughter loves all the videos and content.

by Susan Opelika

I wish we did not have to pay, or at least give us more shows.

by Nora-Beth

We just love Hopster and several of its super cute and educational videos. My daughter just loves Earth to Luna. We have even got our cousins hooked on Hopsters. I also love their weekly emails let us know what shows our daughter is loving this week.

by Breena2013

Hopster has given us such a diverse educational advantage! From the cute stories, to the shows, we love all of the interactive activities! It’s a really well rounded app for kids. My 4.5 year old loves it!
