Troubleshooting

Why can't Buddy hear my child when he talks?
If Buddy cannot hear, several factors may be at play. Use the app in a quiet environment free of background noise, ensure the microphone is not covered, and wait for Buddy's prompt before responding, as he only listens when he is actively engaged. If issues persist, contact Customer Support through the Settings page in the app.

Why does the app look different on different devices?
Differences in app appearance across devices may arise from regular testing of new features and improvements. These changes do not significantly impact the app's content or gameplay experience.
