PEEP and the Big Wide World Quack’s Apples – Education Game Review
PEEP and the Big Wide World Quack’s Apples is a Education game from WGBH Interactive, first launched in 25th July 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 41+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes PEEP and the Big Wide World Quack’s Apples Stand Out
Get ready to make a splash! In this Quack’s Apples app, which features, the hilariously quirky duck, Quack, kids roll apples into the pond for his fish museum. Watch out for the rabbit holes! (Bunnies don't seem to share.)
In the Quack’s Apples app, kids can have as many tries as they need to perfect their route for the getting Quack’s apples to roll into the pond. Quack has an unlimited supply of apples, though there seem to be an unlimited supply of sticks too! By encouraging kids to keep testing and tweaking their designs until they get that apple in the pond, they are practicing the engineering design process integral to scientific thinking.
Players can't get rid of the sticks that block the apples from rolling into the pond, but can tap on them to turn them in different directions to create a path for the apples to roll into the water. Once they get it, the next setup will be a little harder.
The PEEP and the Big Wide World Trash Stash app from WGBH was produced by WGBH, the producers of PEEP and the Big Wide World, with additional development work by CloudKid. The animated series PEEP and the Big Wide World gives wings to the innovative idea of teaching science to preschoolers. Wry and distinctive visual humor, charming plotlines, and lovable characters combine with a comprehensive science curriculum to attract and engage kids three to five years old.

Community Insight:
Hi, you dont know us and frankly we dont know you, but we do know your games. These games were our childhood, we used to play them on our grandmas iPad all the time when we were little. Im 16 now and maybe Im just scared to grow up, maybe we just want to reminisce and enjoy simpler times for a little while longer but we do know that having these games working again would make us, and the others that have stuck around this long, extremely happy. Please take this into consideration.
This app might just be one of the best apps we have ever downloaded. There is a lot to explore and definitely one ruin your childs childhood at all .you can 100% understand whats happening and you can totally get understand what the sexy characters are saying so yes please download this app right now.
We WATCHED IT IN 2010 AND IT WAS AWSOME we WATCHED IT ALL DAY but we hate bridge the gap anyways we cant stop talking about it its amazing the chicken is peep so tiny Iove peep psk dont watch bridge the gap we hate it.
We are ten years old and we still enjoy Peep and the Big Wide World. But we have a problem with all the iOS games. They always rotate sideways the moment you boot up the app, making it almost impossible to play. Can you please fix this bug.
This game supplied filament in our retirement home for our group o lovely old grannies. This was a big hit among those aged 70+! Thank you for the amazing game! -Ethel.
OMG we LOVE THIS GAME QUACK IS SO FUNNY.
Yes, we love PEEP and would love the screen glitch fixed and updated.
Its been 7 YEARS since the last update. Its 2023. So PLEASE fix the screen glitch and add more levels and obstacles.
Quacks Apples (iOS app) always comes up portrait mode, and wont switch to landscape, which prevents us from playing the game after a couple rounds. Were using an iPad running current iOS. (It seems to work on an iPhone, also the iOS app, running current iOS.) Do you have plans to fix this issue on the iPad iOS? We really love the game (and the show!). Hope you will fix it.
We have an idea for the peep & the big wide world website! Maybe you can make a new game called: Make a movie! It could be when you make a peep cartoon & send it to the peep videos. Good idea a.
Lol it's so funny a.p.p.l.e. In our p.o.n.d. Apple in our pond.
Great for your little one to play.
This game is the best game ever!!! We love this game soooooo much! Our bestie( also Swimmer Steve ) finished all the levels in 10 minutes. There needs to be more levels.
We're eleven and we LOVED this game! It was highly addicting, but our best friend (also SwimmerSteve) and we finished it in 10 minutes there aren't enough levels make an update please.
This app is really fun, But the reason why we only gave it 4's is because we think that the setups should be more challenging. As you can see, a lot of older kids play this game, too. Also, there should be a way where you could select which setup you want.
Hi we're 21 and this game is extremely addicting. Our mommy showed us how to play this because it was too challenging for us. We asked all our best friends if they had this game and they said they couldn't get past the first level. But we figured it out with just a little help from our mom so we are better than our friends at this game. But our cousin got to the fifth level so he is better than us but we are still good. But guys this is a good game but a little challenging.
Our daughter loved this game until we updated the iPad to 8.1 :( now it won't work at all. Is anyone working on an update.
Ever since the latest iOS update the apps will not get past the first image. It is a shame as our son loved them.
This has great potential, esp for STEM, but it needs an option to turn off the music. The animated character "sings"for way too long after each move.
Cant review it because like others have said, it wont load pass the WGBH screen. Will review again once its fixed.
Wont load past the WGBH Logo. Other apps from WGBH work fine – just this one is broken. The Support Site is also broken.
The app won't open… Can you guys fix it.
Our daughter loves peep she loves the other apps but she was upset because this app won't load it stays stuck in the white screen with the logo we would give it stars but it only gets one since it doesn't work.
This game sounds like it would be fun but it will not run on our 5s.
This game was fantastic for a week or two, but it has since stopped working altogether. Please fix it.
The game does not appear to work with OS 8.1.1 Is there a fix coming.
Have no idea if our kid likes this or not since it won't launch at all.
We'd love to be able to try out the game! Won't even launch. Frustrated. *FYI Developers: we have an iPhone 6, iOS 8.1. Didn't work with 8.0 though either. We really want to play the game. Please fix!** Thanks.
Just downloaded this and some of the other peep games for our son and were upset that this one and some others didn't work. We were wondering if anyone was providing any tech support to fix these anymore.
On iPad 3 with latest iOS update. Won't get past splash screen.
We're A 4th grader now And we Still Love This Show.
This is a great game for kids. All the apps for Peep and the Big Wide World are the same ones you can find on their website but much easier to use on the iPad. The only problem is that if you ever hit the "we" button at the top right of the screen it puts you into an information screen that you cannot get out of. The only way we have found to get back to the game is to delete the app and reload it. We found this to be true for all of the games from Peep and the Big Wide World. Hope they get this fixed. But still these are all really great games. Just don't hit that button.
