The Original Play Phone is a safe, kid-friendly toy phone app from BabyFirst that lets toddlers imitate real phone use while learning. It offers pretend calls, emoji texting, and a music player, with three interactive games and beloved BabyFirst characters Harry the Bunny, VocabuLarry, and Peekaboo.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise this app for engaging, child-friendly characters, offline play, and educational value (numbers and letters). The most frequent complaints are sound problems across devices/OS, sometimes requiring headphones or toggling device settings, and reports that GooGoo (and other advertised characters) aren’t available. Additional concerns include intermittent interaction issues and a lack of updates for years. While audio and content gaps frustrate some parents, many kids still enjoy calling characters and playing with the game’s visuals and activities.
Pros
  • Engaging, child-friendly characters and calling interactions that kids enjoy.
  • Educational value: helps with learning numbers and letters.
  • Offline play: works without cellular data.
  • Visually appealing design and characters that attract toddlers.
Cons
  • Persistent sound problems across devices and iOS versions; sound often missing.
  • GooGoo and other advertised characters are not available.
  • Intermittent feature issues where calling characters doesn’t work.
  • Lack of updates/maintenance for years.
