Minor Updates. Enjoy Playing with Daniel!
Based on the hit PBS KIDS show, this app encourages kids to explore life skills through open-ended activities. Practice bedtime routines, visit the doctor, and play in the Music Shop. Daniel Tiger helps kids learn social-emotional skills through familiar songs and imaginative play, all in a safe, ad-free environment.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Daniel Tiger's Play at Home is an exceptional tool for parents looking to introduce social-emotional concepts to their preschoolers. It doesn't just entertain; it mirrors the 'strategy songs' from the PBS KIDS show that help children navigate real-world routines like going to the doctor or getting ready for bed. The 'Music Shop' is a standout, allowing kids to experiment with instruments and sounds in an open-ended, creative way.
The bilingual support is a major plus, making it accessible to a wider range of families. I love that it’s an ad-free, safe space where children can explore at their own pace without the pressure of winning or losing. It truly feels like an extension of the neighborhood, and the familiar voice of Daniel Tiger provides a comforting and educational experience that kids will want to return to daily. It’s one of the few apps that I feel genuinely good about my child spending time with.

Great app needs some fixes
Sun Mar 06 2016 rabbitshavefangsAn eraser tool shouldn't erase an entire picture but rather allow you to erase individual items. I have a very upset child who is so sad and crying because she created a picture for me and I ruined it with one bump after she worked really hard on it. I've never seen any other programs where a single button deletes everything in sight. Overall this and the other Fred Roger Company apps are great! Good work!
There’s a glitch.
Tue Oct 01 2019 Li SouI’ve tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it several times only for the problem to reoccur. “Feel the Music” is where the glitch is. Upon further looking into what causes the problem, it occurs when two fingers are placed on the screen at the same time. The game will work at least for 30 seconds, and then the game doesn’t work anymore. No matter where you press, nothing happens. You are still able to go back to the menu, but if you try to go back into the “Feel the Music” game, it still doesn’t work. It’s now to the point that even if I uninstall it and reinstall it, it won’t work at all. It’s very frustrating for both my child and I, especially when it’s their favorite game in the app. Please fix this ASAP. I’ll change my rating when the problem is fixed. Thank you.
Wonderful Apps!
Thu Apr 16 2015 BuzyMommaOfTwoThese Apps (I purchased the bundle deal of all 3 Daniel Tiger Apps) are outstanding. Probably my best purchase from the App Store/iTunes ever! I had the opportunity to explore the apps before my children and I was astonished with how detail oriented they were just about every image in the apps does something different. There's so much to do I as an adult wasn't able to get through it all in an hour long expedition! Also, the graphics are great. These apps are sure to keep my little one entertained for those long car rides, restaurant waits or boring shopping trips. We love that Daniel tiger teaches character traits along with educational lessons. The only problem with this App? My daughter doesn't want to get off!
More features and 1 more game should be added
Thu Nov 20 2025 𝘓𝘦𝘮𝘮𝘺 𝘒𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘢 :3We should have a feature for the music game where we can record the songs you make and they can be saved to the gallery. Also in the bathroom game there should be a bathtime option so you can give Daniel a bath. And also, my sister loves the make believe parts in every Daniel Tiger episode so please add a make believe game where you can create your own make believe scenes, just like in the PBS Kids games app. We need all these options to be added in this app. But this game is fun for my sister overall 😊
This game is the best
Fri Jan 13 2023 NickoylasNot only for the best game it’s the better than any other game because my little cousin plays it all the game so I get in my iPad and play with him and he gets excited when the game starts thank you for inventing this game it really intertans me and my little cousin so we would like to ask if you could make another good Daniel tiger game plz?! Th
Wish I hadn't updated
Thu Jan 30 2020 KwikvicMy granddaughters favorite part of the app was the music. She'd sing and dance to the "Neighborhood song" and the "bathroom song". After I updated my app today, the songs are reduced to one liners. Ugh! I'll change my rating if we can get the old version back or at least get the songs back please.
Great fun for my 2 year old
Sat Sep 17 2016 Helloyou101My daughter loves all parts of this game. Pretending to be the doctor, taking Daniel potty, and the songs with the emotions are all things that keep her engaged and reinforce the things she's learning and seeing in her everyday life.
Fun and age appropriate!
Sat Apr 18 2015 MilWoodyPerfect content and interactive control for my three year old son! He loves the TV show and now this app as well-- well done, looking forward to more games in Daniel's Neighorhood!
