What Makes Wheels on the Bus Song & Games Stand Out
"Our favorite of the Wheels on the Bus apps by far!" Packed full of quirky hidden treasures and adorable musical fun, this is the ideal app for Wheels on the Bus fans.
Who’s the cutest bus driver of all? Your toddler of course :) Sing-along to the most popular nursery rhyme of all time, as you drive your yellow school bus and big red double-decker.
Discover delightful interactive surprises on your ride. Stop to pick up super-cute passengers, beep the horns, swish the wipers, then there’s a baby to soothe… time for a game of Peekaboo!
You can get behind the wheel straightaway in this free version. Sing-along to 2 of the most popular verses of this rhyme – the Wheels on the Bus and the Horn on the Bus – both starring your child. Drive the bus, pick up passengers and beep the many horns! There are also memory games and puzzles to try out.

Community Insight:
Love that we can put our grandsons faces in the pictures! The 2 year old loves listening to the songs, he will love it even more when we surprise him this weekend by showing him his face on the bus! He can change it to his brothers face or ours if he wants.
Wish there were more interactive songs, activities, pictures available for young learners like this.
Our toddler loves this app so much! He laughs out loud when he sees his face as the driver, he thinks its hilarious Its his favorite nursery rhyme – so he sings along to each verse and loves all the interactions. Its even got jigsaw puzzles and memory games for him – all with a Wheels on the Bus theme. Im so happy we found this app – thank you.
Dear Mr. Someone, Hi! Fbfvvhgghgrbrbrfbfhr(vbdbnrtb;ntntnngntnnngnntI really like this! Oh and…v.
We are 8 years old and we love this game we play after school and at lunch we are so glad for this game thank you for making it we are going to show our friend who loves buses.
As a therapist, this app really can be used to reinforce core vocabulary. It can also reinforce finger isolation.
We have so much fun on this app. He is 3 and he is learning while playing.
We like it James likes it Price likes it its a fun game most people should like it we think babies would love it especially people that like wheels on the bus would love we well especially people that like the song.
The free version is super entertaining and our kid loves seeing a picture of himself included in the game.
Im totally in love with this app.
Our granddaughter would play this all day if we didnt limit screen time. Its so interactive and she laughs at the same things every time. We loved changing the driver. We even let our cat drive the bus.
Our two-year-old already loved the song wheels on the bus before we found this app. This app makes wheels a great interactive song and she enjoys playing with the app and doing the fun interactive parts.
Our 22 month old grandson liked having his picture as the driver Everyone loves the song! Great choice! Please continue developing good apps for all of us.
Both our grandkids love playing with this app.
Our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter loved this! Very well done.
We usually never leave reviews but after downloading so many toddler apps, THIS one really deserves a 5 star review. Its easy, fun, colorful and so adorable. Get it! Worth every penny.
You can put your childs face as the driver.
This is the best toddler app! We love that you can personalize the driver with a picture of your child.
Love it! Great graphics and very interactive.
Our one year old sat for almost an hour playing. Great job! Love it.
Exciting app for puppies and grown-ups and kids. – Amber, 4 years old.
21 month old baby loves the bus.
We wish we could lock the screen,,, our little one keeps exiting out of the program…. Frustrating.
Great game love it but we cant figure out how to add a new face.
We downloaded the free version of this because our 1 1/2 year old is obsessed with Wheels on the Bus. It constantly freezes and we have to close the app then reopen it. We havent bought the full version because we wouldnt pay for the version we have. And theres no guarantee the paid version wont freeze.
The app is free but there is very little to it without upgrading.
You cant get the bus to move, it just sits there. Sometimes it will move a little bit then stops. Save your kids the frustration and do not download.
