Features & Capabilities

Baby's Musical Hands is an award-winning musical toy for babies and toddlers for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

As a game designer and developer, I love my iOS devices. But as a new father, I realized how much my son loves them too. I decided I could put my experience developing for iOS to use, and build an app for my son to play with. Baby's Musical Hands was born!

Baby's Musical Hands features 15 brightly colored squares that your baby can touch. Red squares make drum sounds, yellow squares play piano notes, and blue squares play guitar notes.

Every time your baby touches the screen, colorful stars will burst from their fingers. Watch them delight in the audio and visual feedback!

Baby's Musical Hands supports full multi-touch, meaning your baby gets the kind of feedback they expect when touching the screen.

I'd love to hear from you if your son or daughter loves Baby's Musical Hands as much as mine!

User Reviews

Overall, users praise Baby's Musical Hands for its simple, clean design and calming sounds that promote active, cause‑and‑effect play and keep babies engaged. The app is highly valued for accessibility (VoiceOver/self‑voicing) and its suitability for very young children, with notes about color learning and gentle music. Common drawbacks include intermittent or missing sound, difficulty locking the app due to gestures, very limited content, and occasional billing compatibility issues on newer devices. Some suggest expanding activities and reliability.
Pros
  • Simple, clean, minimal interface that promotes active play and cause‑and‑effect learning.
  • Calming, soothing sounds and visuals that gently engage babies.
  • Accessibility via self-voicing/VoiceOver makes it usable for visually impaired users.
  • Engaging for babies and toddlers; kids often love the sounds and colors and can entertain for extended periods.
  • Supports early learning (colors and cause‑and‑effect) in a low‑stress, straightforward setting.
Cons
  • Sound often doesn’t work on some devices; reports of no audio despite volume being up.
  • App can exit or misbehave due to gestures; locking the screen (Guided Access/ disabling multi‑gesture) is often needed.
  • Extremely limited content—one screen only, few activities; can become boring.
  • Billing issues: original payment followed by another charge soon after.
  • Compatibility problems on newer devices/OS.

i’ve used this app for all four of my children, when they were young toddlers. it’s just musical sounds and soothing colors that play when the screen is touched. it’s sweet :)

No silly animation, so it’s more active play and not just watching TV. I LOVE that toddler can’t accidentally exit or hit a menu that stops the keys from working. Also love that there are no in-app purchases so I don’t have to worry about accidental purchases.
