My Very Hungry Caterpillar App Reviews

Keeps kids occupied and happy!

My 21 month old son remains fascinated with this game. Kudos for an creating an adaptive game with a leisurely pace. This is a wonderful toy.

Im seven and this is still one of my faveriote app Ive had yet!!!!!!!!!!!

I know there arent many reviews but my 2 yer old twins and 5 year old adores this interactive story and it was the best money spent in the App Store

Simple but love the details and how thoughtfully the functionality follows the story. Music is serene and the story is engaging and fun.

We have no sound on this app but my son still loves it

My almost 3 year old enjoys it. There is sound... Make sure your device isnt on silent. Wish there was a little more story or narration. But good for preschoolers

Controls can be a little difficult for real little kids, but otherwise great

This app is at the top of my list of, “so you just bought an $800 iPad, what are the best apps to put on it?” list. Why? It’s delightful and the kids love it. You can tell that these folks have a dedication to getting the”experience” of an app right, and there’s quality around every corner. I’ll throw out some of the top reasons to like this app: - delightful music - a wonderful caterpillar to take care of - many wonderful activities to share with the caterpillar There are several more reasons, but here’s the most important thing: - Kids love it.

This app is lovingly true to the minimalist collage art style of Eric Carles Classic childrens book, but misses the mark of the books message. The message of the original is lost in this adaptation. No longer does the caterpillar finally realize that he needed to eat caterpillar food after gorging himself on human food for a week. Now he eats a progression of fruit before he transforms into a beautiful butterfly. At least he doesnt spend a sixth day on a processed food bender. Kids wont learn here that animals (including humans) need to eat food appropriate for them. In fact, they unfortunately may take away the opposite message from this app. Gone also are the lessons about the days of the week and progression of numbers that Carle so deftly integrated into such a short book. Time progresses as the caterpillar naps, but its unclear how much time and theres no narration to take that opportunity to teach a lesson. Most importantly though, this app is a delight and children will love playing with their caterpillar as he reacts to their direction and to his toys. This is a great app to play with your small children as you explain what is happening. This app is a great companion to The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but no replacement.

This app is beautifully designed and has wonderful staying power. My daughter and I have watched the caterpillar transform into a butterfly well over a dozen times and she still gets a big smile every time. I wish there were more apps for children that were this thoughtfully designed. I recommend it to anyone looking for a game for young children.

Its one of her favorite games. Used to be her favorite by far when she was a bit younger. Great game. I enjoy it as well.

Thanks for the update!

Since I have updated this app I cant get it to open

This is a delightful, engaging and charming app which my child explores repeatedly. I do wish there were strawberries on the fourth day as it is in the book instead of a repeat of the plums.

I was ever disappointed with this app. I thought it was going to be like more interesting. I thought it was going to read the book while play along with the caterpillar. my daughter was done with in 2 minutes after playing with it. She wanted to play a different game.

My two year old brother loves this game!! He even waves night night to the caterpillar when you put him to bed!

I cannot say enough how much we love this app!!! Plenty of fun things to do. The little world changes a tiny bit for each new "day" for the caterpillar so thats good. My 2 1/2 year old has played it regularly for months & I love it too. Its very cute!!

Im very disappointed I spent so much on this app. It wont let my son scroll over to play the entire thing. All he can do is a bounce a ball, water some plants, and feed the caterpillar. Playing with the boats and all the other things doesnt work because the screen wont scroll over enough.
