  • Great idea, poor execution

    Living across the world from grandparents, this is a great concept but it doesn’t work half the time. This makes it frustrating and not worth it to try most times we have together.
  • Would be nice to have the option to send this another way other than email.

    Email send is not an option with my child, without going into anything deeper. Apps like zoom give you a link or allow you phone message, etc. Children do not normally have access to email, and it’s 2023. This app has a lot of great stuff in it, hopefully that side of tech can catch up. I’ll join if we’ve got choices to connect with them outside of email.
  • Bad company

    By iManApple001
    Caribu deserve 1 star because their founders sold the company to another company then filed for dissolution last year and returned nothing ($0.00) to its early investors. Lost trust. If they ripped off their early investors, then they will do the same for customers and employees one day. Unethical founders manipulated investors!
  • Good app for little kids

    I just got back into Caribou and it has changed from before. There are now ads that are forced upon you, which makes me uncomfortable because the ads may have content I don’t want my child seeing. But more importantly, there is a whole pride section now and this no longer makes me comfortable to allow my daughter freedom on the app. I can no longer recommend it to like minded friend’s parents when our kids want to have a virtual playdate, and as far as I know there’s not choice of the parent to disable certain kind of content. I, the parent, want to be in control of what my child sees and now I am trying to be forced to let her explore things that are beyond her age. Please fix this.
  • Waste of money

    We had the Amazon Glow and loved it. They discontinued it and we found this. I paid $100 for the year. We have only used it twice. My son is autistic and both times we have used it, it freezes up and he has a meltdown. He won’t go near it now. We emailed the company last week and they never responded.
  • Bug?

    By CC Cathy
    I love this app BUT there appears to be a bug where if I expand the photo of her, I am black (not visible). This didn’t used to happen. It would be great to have this fixed. Thanks!
  • Would get higher rating if easier to find previously read books

    Can’t sort favourites by recency and no history of read books makes picking up where you left off difficult.

    For a grandparent with my only grandchildren living in another country, Caribu has been a godsend! Twice every week I can see my granddaughters and have fun reading and playing games with them! We all look forward to it.
