## Bubbles Description
For toddlers and parents who need a fun distraction.

• Hear bubbles popping.
• See bubbles fly from your fingers.
• Feel gravity pull your bubbles downward.
• Draw bubble letters, numbers, and shapes.

I created Bubbles to entertain my daughter for a 12 hour plane flight to Korea in 2008 (She's 16 now!). I hope it provides some entertainment for you and your kids too.

My favorite is to play Bubbles with my kids before bed. We try to draw letters, numbers, or just fling them about. Tip: Flip your iPad or iPhone upside down to slow the bubbles down for easier drawing.

Have fun!

## Bubbles Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great classic app"
Very sorry to see the negative reviews with in app purchases (seems like handled poorly) BUT I did want to say, this app is magical. One of the very first apps I ever installed and taught me the “feel” of touch screen. It’s a sweet, simple app. Really a work of genius. I love it, and always will. Please keep it going forever.
-- Steubie, 2024-03-16

### ***** "Best bubbles app ever made"
I’m glad this is still around, but for some reason it’s hard to find it on the App Store. It seems to have gotten updated recently to keep working. Glad I have it since 2009 and the negative reviews are probably not from the target audience. lol
-- KonnMan, 2024-03-06

### ***** "So awesome"
I love this game so calm and relaxing
-- Kelly Eskin, 2023-01-13

### **--- "I paid for it"
I paid for the extras and now I can't even access them! My son loves the leaves. I think I should still be able to access my paid extras. I'm not very happy right now. I enjoyed buying extra "bubbles" I understand getting rid of them, but I'd still like to access my previous purchases!!

Now, 6 years later, I have a 10 month old again and miss the fun falling items. Balloons, leaves....😫
-- Raekate24, 2019-07-21

### ***** "Great game"
This game has been great for 2 of y kids and the first thing I let them do on any electronic I wis they would make it a screen saver and an update as gesture control needs to be off for kids to use it’s I would love to see options like that added and a Pw to close the app as it is great for kids but I really don’t want a 2 year old using anything else on my iPad or less occasional phone
-- dicenine, 2019-04-03

### ***** "Good app"
Very entertaining, nice bubbles. It can make a good audio/visual stim.
-- Lou_Is_D_Man, 2018-05-23

### ***** "Great for toddlers"
My nephew loves this app and it’s a great distraction when he gets frustrated. Also very meditative for adults. I’ve had some parents and grandparents play with their toddlers and they continue after the toddler moves on.
-- Sleepy1.0, 2018-02-16

### ***** "Fascinates small children"
This is the best toy I'm aware of for small kids on the iPhone, and it's free. 

So why the medium-low ratings? Let me tell you about the app's history. 

It was introduced in 2008 and was a hit with kids from the start. In 2011 the developer, Jesse, got restless and began experimenting with stylized graphics and alternative objects, like balloons, falling leaves, even fireworks. These were optional in-app purchases, and some users opted to buy them. 

By 2015 the "feature creep" in this app had become ridiculous, and I assume the proliferating options made it difficult to maintain the app so that all of them performed acceptably. So Jesse returned to basics, completely rewriting the app code, removing everything but the bubbles, and making perfectionist changes to how the bubbles behave on screen. (E.g., they are sensitive to how you tilt your phone, and if you rotate your device 180 degrees they will slow down dramatically to facilitate "drawing with bubbles"). 

Now, some users who had made in-app purchases felt, as one of them phrased it, "pissy" about the loss of their balloons, leaves, or fireworks, so they barraged this app with one-star reviews. If your child loved to pop balloons rather than bubbles, and suddenly the balloons were gone, I can understand a passing feeling of pique. Still, the level of outrage seems out of proportion to their losses, which amounted to around $5 at most. That seems like a fair price for an engaging toy. But that's a peculiarity of the iOS app market: For some reason buyers expect to get perpetual access to well built, consistently maintained apps, and to pay about 99 cents or less for the privilege. 

Meanwhile, I'm now using this app to entertain a second crop of toddlers in my extended family. It looks and runs better than ever. And it's free.

### ***** "Simple and cute"
I think my 1 year old will love this
-- Ayeleleyee, 2017-07-29

### *---- "upset @ creator"
so the most recent update (i realize this was quite a while ago now but am still pissy) took away all of the game options because creator wanted a simpler app. right, okay, but i paid $$ cash money to buy the game as well as several in-app purchases, and no refunds or restores were given out as a result of creator wanting a simpler game. i spent money to be able to have things other than bubbles. either put them back or give me my money back.
-- Licia Christine, 2016-12-31

### **--- "Disappointed"
I agree with everyone else - I got this for the kids and had purchased the extras. My kids miss the others and won't play with it now that it's just bubbles. Don't take things away. Perhaps they did it so they could stop updating it :-/ Deleting this app!
-- Pentoozi, 2016-12-28

### ***** "Great fun"
I played this game from when I was an infant when the iPhone came out and I have loved ever since it is relaxing, and when I babysit the kids love it. If you give this one star then think about if you are giving this a fair score, like if you are 20 and thought this was going to challenge you intellectually. Great idea, I would call this a game for 8 and under and an activity for 9+. 100 stars from me.
-- Bellini , 2016-10-07

### ***** "Still awesome"
Kids I know have loved this since I owned the first iPhone. Still a great entertaining app for toddlers.
-- MeKrisTin, 2016-09-18

### *---- "Where are the in app purchases?"
I hope there is a refund for all of the in app purchases that we paid for!
-- Ms tired of buying bs, 2016-06-03

### *---- "Where are my in app purchases?!"
This was by far my kid's favorite app with all of the different items we purchased for popping...now all of my purchases are gone and it's just super lame bubbles. I spent a lot of money on those add ins and they just disappeared with this update. Please bring back the other one or refund my money so I can invest in a better app :-/ super disappointed.
-- Ajorobinson, 2016-03-24

### *---- "Ripped off"
I spent at least ten bucks on in-app purchases for my grandchildren.  Not happy!
-- Studiolady, 2016-01-01

### *---- "Refund the money"
They took (a considerable amount of) money for an option and then removed that option. Serious financial trust issues with this company.
-- kitsunegal, 2015-12-26

### *---- "Bring In-App Purchases Back!"
Loved the app until the recent update. My three year old is extremely disappointed that he can no longer play the other bubble types.

I recommend either bringing the in-app purchases back or refund those of us who spent money.
-- 4theDauntless, 2015-12-03

### *---- "Give me my money back"
Just opened this app to get it ready for my niece this holiday season and I can't access any of my upgraded screens. I want my upgrades back you thief! How in the world do you think it is ok to upgrade without allowing for previous in-app purchases? Better to stop updating the app! Scum!
-- Cybersma, 2015-11-24

### *---- "Ripped off"
Feeling ripped off after purchasing many in app options!! Now none are available & no money refunded. Kids are disappointed in new version.
