Our Expert Score
PBS KIDS Games is arguably the best value you can find on the App Store for parents. The fact that it offers over 200 high-quality educational games for free, without a single ad or in-app purchase, is incredible. My kids love playing with characters they already recognize from TV, like Daniel Tiger and the Wild Kratts.
The games are genuinely educational, covering everything from basic math to social-emotional skills. The offline play feature is a lifesaver for long car rides or flights where Wi-Fi isn't available. It’s a safe, trusted, and expansive library of fun that every parent of a preschooler or early elementary student should have on their device.

Wonderful, but last update...
Tue Jun 26 2018 DalianguyMy son and I play these games together regularly. He loves them, they give us lots of new things to interact over, and they have seeded some new interests for him. Thanks to Cookie Creator, for example, my boy got very interested in all of the measurements and following instructions in recipes and even makes some predictions about the kinds of cookies we’re making based on how much of the ingredients we use. The good games are really good, engaging, and help to develop key skills, and most of the games are good. Everything was fine until the last update. We were playing one of the games yesterday, and he wanted to switch to another, but all but four of the games we had downloaded had disappeared, including the one we had just been playing. (We generally play offline, even when a network is available, to keep things limited to the age-appropriate games I have selected for download.) Later, when I got back online to download the games again, it clearly has reset the storage limit, and I can’t for the life of me find the “grown-ups” settings menu to set it back. After about ten minutes, it also changed my home PBS station, which I had previously set in settings—perhaps because I am on the road?
Complicated for little ones to navigate
Fri Aug 07 2020 Erica WelshMy son and I adore this app. I love that it is free, and I love the variety it has and the fact that it’s an app that can grow with him. I love that it is safe, and there are no ads or links that can take him anywhere I don’t want him to be. It’s so wonderful that it’s free, and I’m so grateful for that!! I haven’t found /any/ other app like it. But I have one tiny suggestion that will make it significantly better for us. There are so many games on this app, and a lot of them are meant for older kids. My phone is always connected to WiFi, and so when he plays by himself, he tends to download games that he just can’t understand, and then he gets stuck in them and frustrated. And so I was wondering if you could add a toggle switch on the grownups page, to toggle between “Show all games” and “show only downloaded games” on the home page. That way it will be easier for him to choose his own games and only play the ones he knows how to play, but when he gets a little older and gains more skills, I can see them all and choose new ones for him. 5 stars, if someday there is that option. 4 stars for now, because it’s just too hard for him to use.
Disappointed with continually having to re-download games
Sat Mar 02 2019 adonutgirlIt seems that the frustrations I have with this app are the same ones that parents were reviewing about a year ago - losing downloaded games at random and having to re-download. I have set the space allowance high on purpose to supposedly not have this happen, and yet whenever I have updated the app we lose games, which is super frustrating for my five year old and me as well, especially as we live in a remote place and don’t have the best internet access all the time. On top of this issue, the interface is such that when scrolling through the games my child often accidentally clicks them which begins the downloading process, which can not be stopped! We currently have over thirty games attempting to load which have been going nowhere for weeks. If I was able to at least pause some of the open downloads we might have some success but I have not found any way of doing this. My daughter and I loved this app at the start but it has become so frustrating she barely chooses to play on it now. If these issues were fixed, this app would be very highly rate in my opinion, but with the current issues, it’s only mediocre. If I’m missing something that fixes these problems, please let me know.
Wonderful app, with one suggestion.
Sun Oct 02 2022 IrotoriI LOVE this app and so does my son. However, one feature I would request is the ability to reset a particular game. Clearing the local game storage from within the app does not fix all bugs. For instance, this most recent update included Rosie's Rules games. Awesome! My son is so excited for this show that he dances to the promotion trailers. So when the games came out, it's all he wants to play, specifically the slime game. But the game can dead end you by allowing you to run out of both money and ingredients, leaving my kid crying because he can't play the game any more. Exiting the game or app, force quitting, nothing fixes it. I wind up having to completely uninstall and reinstall the PBS Kids games app, it gets tiresome. So please guys! Maybe allow the game to reset entirely when you exit out of the game or the app. My only ever hiccup I've experienced, otherwise I recommend this to every single parent I know.
It’s actually not too bad
Thu Jun 13 2024 Spin spidey, 16I mean some of the games I actually do like but some of them I mean like some of the characters in some of the games like boss you around I don’t like that it’s like baby hazel, but it’s not there’s different games like there’s different apps in baby Hazel so like like it it’s not too bad I mean when I was littler I liked it more but I just give it 3 stars because now I’m seven years old and I don’t know why it just gives me that feeling like it’s going to go in my nightmares like usually I feel like I’m gonna have a nightmare, even though I don’t so yeah it doesn’t do bad like now I am terrified of him because he always smiles and he always feel sad and I feel good about that. Just like Sophie from cherry Pop productions gaming like hates baby Hazel and I hate Daniel Tiger now this is like it isn’t too bad like but I mean it could be a bit better like Daniel Tiger gets replaced from for like like a different version of Toca life world because it is educational and like you can like imagine stuff in Toca life world it’s it’s yeah that’s good and it’s for kids like it’s honestly pretty good not too bad like sometimes it gets a bit glitchy though but yeah it’s fine
Please read developers very important!

Well love, love love love love love love love love this game five star I’m seven also
Mon Dec 22 2025 Mary Catherine LouqueSo I am seven also and I love love love this game so much just love it more than anything. I hope this is helpful. OK maybe not more than anything but I really love this game and I have a great idea for a mini game so first the game would spin the wheel and then it would give you a surprise nickname when you have your nickname PS it would have if you were if you were seven or older, you could be called something like cool gamer, black gamer if you weren’t then do you would have to be called something else and before you play the game, you have to tell the game how old you are and then you will get into the game based on what holiday is coming up you get a special theme and in the game ends if you were five or younger, you would have you would get first place but if you were seven or older, you would you would get the actual place you place you got on the podium and PSS sorry I made this so long
