Community Insight:
Love it so much but it needs to be updated.
We loved playing this game as a kid and wish we could play it to have a feeling of nostalgia lol. If only there was an update that could work with iPhone 11.
PLEASE MAKE THE GAME FOR IOS 12.
We Love Build A Bear Bear Valley! The Game Is So Fun.
5 stars its our fav game but this developer really needs to update the game to where people can download it again.
The good part is for us, hat we have the happy hugs bear in real life. Just got her a few days ago. And we like the graphics and playability of it. Any kid will love it. Don't waste your money on the other when you can get this! Our bears name is Kellie. (Ps we are 11 so you are getting this from a child ).
Better buying the full version if you this game. But we'd rather stick to this. It is almost the same.
This is the coolest game that we had ever play.
It is so amazing we love it!!!!get it.
We made so many bears not in the game in real life we love bild a bear work shop true story.
The animals are soooo… CUTE!! We LOVE the app. You have to get it.
We like it but we want the full version and our bearville username is aimee2hip1519.
Our user name is makenziesnowflake42.Please send us a friend request.
This is a perfect game for anyone.
This is awesome!!! Except when it keeps on going to home when we don't want it to. But otherwise, it is sooooooooooooooo AWESOME and sooooooooooooooo COOL.
We love it ! But we want the full version soo bad it's killing us looking at how cool it is.
We got bear valley a few days ago and we love it!!! We get to watch our cat throw away trash!!! It's so awesome and cool!!! And we see people on the train!!! But we don't like the ad telling us to buy the full version. We're not allowed to buy apps that cost money. But the rest is awesome!!! If you don't have it, get it!!! Now.
We love this game it's so cool and fun.
Our user online is AbbeCudddly603 friend us.
We like this game we play online too!! Our name on bearville is LorenBear54 plz b friends with us.
Our name on bearville is jalissaAllheart4782.
We love this app! It is the funest app we have on our iPod tuoch. We hope you get it.
We used to have this game on another device, and we absolutely loved it, and we still do! But now, we have an iPad, and its not available on this device anymore! Please update the app and make it compatible for us! It used to be so fun. Please bring this game back!! :[.
We used to love this game and want to come back to it but the developer has not updated it to be compatible with higher iOS updates.
We used to play this game when we were 6 or 7. We are 10 now. We remember being addicted to this game. It's was so fun! The only problem was the in app purchases. It was a great game.
This game is cool but there are a few flaws: 1. More bear varieties. The German Shepard looks stupid, the Calico cat looks cute though, and the bear is the simplest of them all. We would like a few more bears to be unlocked early. 2. Not much clothing or personality trait assortments to choose. An ugly arrangement of clothing which looked like they came from the show What not to Wear, American Girl doll store, or clothing that preschoolers made. We would also prefer more personality traits. Adventurous is cool but why not travel to other places, ride a boat down the river, or ride the train, rather then just digging up treasure chests? 3. Chatting. If only you could socialize with bears that come to your town everyday, because many of the bears need some makeovers. Also like the Sims, we want to socialize with the bears to become friends, rarely enemies with them. 4. Actually changing the camera perspective aka the point of view. Like Turbo Dismount, we want First Person on the bear you click on, blah blah blah. 5. Actually renaming the confetti bear and monkey. Those are just plain old stupid. Please improve for us. We would rather buy the full version rather than this one.
We got this game a while ago, only we had never thought of rating it, or making a review. This is one of our favorite apps only we think it has to be upgraded a bit more, WITHOUT the use of money. It's not fair to people like us who aren't able to buy apps that cost money just to get good upgrades on/for them, we seriously recommend you getting the upgraded app, and telling them to make it free.
It's a really fun app! We like it a lot. The games are fun, the animals are cute in there. The only two things we don't like about this app is that we can go only up to level 3, and you have to pay to get the full version. We wish that Bearville was available for mobile devices like this game, that'd be nice.
Update it so we can start using it ! We made a petition to bring back this game.
We got the full version of this and it was a total waste of money it wouldn't let us in the game at all please fix we deleted the full version so if you have it good luck also we are stuck on level 3 plz fix.
Daughter seems to be enjoying it, but it won't let us use our ID number and key code. Glad we payed $5 so she can't use her build a bear.
We'd used to play bearville online but now we can't we're skyleradorable500 .this game is kinda boring you need the full version for everything.
We got this game a few days ago. We chose for our character to be the dog. Instead, we were shown as the confetti bear with a bow tie! And we can't even take the bow tie off, plus, the game isn't even interesting. To us, it doesn't give you enough freedom, and the graphics are weird. Sorry, we just had to tell ya.
Needs and update on the graphics just a little.
It's cool but the animals are scaryyyyyyy!..just a little bit and by a little bit we mean a lot.
All the reviews are from YEARS ago and here we are writing a review for this crap game. Honestly though do you think this can replace bearville?? No way man.
We miss bear vill you should bring it back again why would you shut it down it was so much fun we loved it so much we were zoeybearfun18 bring bear bill back.
Guys you ruined our childhood it was all fun games until you cancelled buildabearville we would log in everyday just to play the fountain mini game and pie challenge game and all these other mini games.Once we found put our heart dropped.we would hold our builabear in our lap while playing.we had a lot of driends and things that were very special to us in a certain way.PLEASE BRING BACK BUILDABEARVILLE.
This is so stupid we're sorry but it is. You can't do anything. We would suggest not getting it of you so get it get the full version.
It is not free almost everything is either another level or full version. Do not buy this.
You can't do anything except for buying clothes because they want you to buy the version that costs money!! Don't get!!! Wish we could rate lower.
The app is so good but we can't do anything!! We can't even play it!! This is a 1star game!! Don't play it.
We can't even play this game because it always crashes so when ever we tap on the app it goes right back to the home screen.
We played and everything was locked we tried to ignore it but it got boring. DONT Get It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the really build a bears are awesome.
ITS TERRIBLE U ONLY GET TO GO TO 3 PLACES ITS SAD IVE PLAYED MANY GAMES DIS DE WORST EVA.So Neva buy dis.
Don't buy this game. It is absolutely horrible. We would rather lose our iPhone for a week than play this HORRIBLE game.
This isn't a good game it's a waste of time so don't get the app it's terrible.
Needs more stuff boring nothing to do every thing is locked stupid game add stuff to free version please.
You cant do any thing endless you get the full version and the bears are creepy and you only choose 3. We would give it zero stars if we could.
Really bad, limited resources and confusing instructions.
