Bad news for Kindle Fire owners. After emailing Hasbro directly to inquire when the Furby app may become available, I received my answer ” There are no current plans to add the Furby App to the Kindle Fire”. Does that mean there will never be a Kindle Fire app? Not necessarily. If enough Kindle users show interest, anything is possible. But at the moment however, its a no go. Its not a total loss though, Furbies work fine without an app or connected device, the app just adds a few extra ‘bells and whistles’ such as feeding graphic images of food to Furby, and a Furbish to English translator.
You want the Furby App for Kindle Fire? Let Hasbro know and post your comments below!
MES PETITES FILLES TRES DECUES DE NE PAS POUVOIR INSTALLER L’APPLICATION SUR LEUR TABLETTE !
PUBLICITE MENSONGERE !
“MY GIRLS very disappointed UNABLE TO INSTALL THE APPLICATION ON THEIR tablet!
False advertising!”
—–
Unfortunately, the Furby app is only available for iOS and android devices. Hasbro has only advertised it for those two platforms. I’m sorry! Who knows what the future may bring!
Well if you have a Google account you can download it in the Google play,but how do you add it to your kindle? And this isn’t the first,time kindle had a problem like this candy crush was one and on the old kindle fires you had to unlock the camera why so much work for so much money spent? I got the curvy for the app and I can’t even use it with my daughter
My daughter was aware of the Furby app before she was able to purchase her Furby (which she waited very patiently for). Therefor she was quite excited to dedicate the remainder of her time playing with her Furby and experiencing all that she had witnessed with her friend’s Furby. She was quite disappointed when we realized that the Furby app could not be installed on her Kindle Fire. She loves the Furby — but you can tell that she knows she is missing out on something.
“Its not a total loss though, Furbies work fine without an app or connected device, the app just adds a few extra ‘bells and whistles’ such as feeding graphic images of food to Furby, and a Furbish to English translator.”
To basically say, ‘well your Furby still works without it’ , is like saying ‘well you can wear your swimsuit in the bathtub, it still works without going to the pool’.
We live in a very technological world. When toy companies create applications designed to enhance the playtime of a toy, those applications need to be supported on all major technological brands.
So, I guess what I am saying is — this family of Kindle customers are showing strong interest for the Furby app. on the Kindle and all major smart tablet brands.
Thank you.
Hi Tabitha, you are of course absolutely right. I just hoped to alleviate some of the sting from the bad news (about no Kindle Furby App). Hasbro commented that they have no current plans to create the Furby app for Kindle, but as I said before people like you who are willing to voice their desire for the Kindle app could possibly make it happen. I’ll add a Voting poll in this article so that interested people can show their support for a Kindle Fire Furby App.
Thank you! I think a voting poll would be awesome!
Im very upset i have a furby and kindle no other device no smart phone or other tablet. We need an app for furby on the kindlefire!!!
We should all speak up because why cant the kindlefire have the app? Its not right many people are upset. The furby still works without the app but it is still something that lets us understand furby.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use her kindle fire to interact with her furby.
Just purchased the party rocker for my daughter yesterday sadly after reading the site it will be returned. It annoys me that the app is not accessible with all devices .Very disappointed, frustrated and sad…
I know. It’s aggravating. I hope Hasbro wakes up and supports other devices such as Kindle Fire soon. Make sure and vote that you want the app for Kindle in our “Vote” section (or here in this article.) If you have a different device you would like to have App support for, post it here so we can make it known!
I was hoping to get the furby boom app, but its not working. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, HASBRO!!!!!
Purchased the furby boom for each of my three kids but now see that I will need to return them to the incompatibility with their kindle fires. Too bad! Please let me know if you develop the app!
Hi Kat, we all feel your pain on this topic. I appreciate that you are voicing your concern, if more people do maybe it will make a difference with Hasbro. Keep in mind that myself and “FurbyManual.com” are not owned by Hasbro, were just a fan site for Furby enthusiasts to get together.
Need app for kindle fire! Come on Hasbro!
Really want the furby app for kindle fire – not just HD.
Please please please make the Furby app avalible to Kindle HD Fire users!!!!!
If I would have have known this it would have out me off buying the kindle for my daughter as I don’t want her to be limited to the sort of apps she can download! Unlike Apple products 🙁
It’s already available for Kindle Fire HD! 🙂 Just not the regular Kindle Fire. Go to the Amazon app store for the Kindle Fire HD app.
Please please get a furby app for the kindle fire HD. I have 2 very disappointed children.
The app is available for the Kindle Fire HD at the Amazon app store. The normal Kindle Fire isn’t compatible though.
I’m gutted that the furby app isn’t available on the kindle fire after purchasing two kindle fires and two furby prior to realizing this and already telling my children of all the things they can do and now I’m past the day to return the kindles!! Please get this available on kindle fire I am more than willing to pay for this app to make it available
I know, I’m so sorry, I wish they could do a scaled down version for Kindle Fire. They tell me that it just doesn’t have the hardware prowess to do the job. The Kindle Fire HD does though.
Very disappointed 9 year old need the app for kindle fire
Please please please put app on kindle ………….we all spent the same amount as everyone else on our kids furbys………hence WE WANT THE FULL EXPERIENCE TOO!!!!!!!
Really need the furby app. Come on hasbro! Do it for the kids!
My daughter wants a furby for Christmas but has a kindle fire ! No furby for her, she only wants it with the app ! Please have another think !
My daughter is crushed that her Furby won’t work with her Kindle Fire. Please fix this issue!
Please, please, please put the Furby app on Kindle. I got a Kindle Fire for my birthday and can’t play with my Furby on it,and now my Dad won’t lend me his iPhone any more. Doo-mo, doo-mo, doo-mo.
I have a Kindle Fire HD and the Furby Boom App is not available on that either. 🙁
Very upset. Just purchased a Furby Boom for my daughter for.Christmas and learning she.can’t download the app on her Kindle Fire. She will be very upset as.well 🙁
Get that ap for the kindle fire!!!! My daughters heartbroken now, thanks for mentioning this on the box! Will be returning…
I was going to buy a Furby for my granddaughter for a surprise present for Christmas but I won’t now as she has a kindle fire so if we can’t download an ap for it there is no point!!!
I was about to buy a furby for my stepdaughter for Christmas. She too has a Kindle Fire………. so for that reason alone.. Im out!!!
It is riddiculous to market a toy at that age group when the majority of young kids do not have their own IPAD.
Come on HASBRO. Sort this out.
I also was going to get my daughter the furby boom for Christmas so was Very disappointed to find out the app won’t work with her Kindle fire.She has only had her Kindle for a year so I am not upgrading it for one app when otherwise it works fine.Come on Hasbro lots of kids have Kindle Fires
Have 3 daughters, just about to buy 3 Furby’s as they are at the top of their lists…just explained to them they will not work with their kindle fires so asking them what else they want instead…3 less Furby’s isn’t going to hurt hasbro but I am out nevertheless….
Just bought 3 furby booms for Christmas and am now devastated to hear we won’t be able to get the APP for the kindle fire! We don’t have other tablets!!!! Feel like I’ve just wasted all my money!!!!
That is how we feel, we could of bought a cheaper tablet and the app would work, how stupid. We spent money on the new kindle fire hdx and also the $60-$70 on the Furby Boom
I am sorry by my bad English. I am from Costa Rica, and my daugther going to have a furby in this christmas. She has a kindle fire. I was able to install the Kindle app in her tablet with a hack, and it runs very well. I don´t know if the Furby toy may interact with Kindle, but I could install it on the Kindle. You must have a rooted android phone, download the app, transfer it to your computer and then save it to the Kindle. You can also download the app by searching Google and then transfer it to the tablet
Hi Diana, that’s great news! Would you mind writing instructions on how to do this? If you do, I’ll post an article for everyone who owns Kindle Fire. It will help a lot of people! 🙂
Just purchased the Furby Boom for my daughters as a Christmas gift. They are so excited, however I am sad that I will have to tell them both that their kindle fires will not work with their newfound friend. The fact that I purchased 2 Furbies was difficult enough more or so because of the prices due to it being a hot item this fall, makes me regret it because using the app was the sole purpose for why they asked for them. Uugghh..can anyone say frustrated. I made sure to get everything on their Christmas list for my honor roll little girls and only for it to be halfway ruined by having to explain that they will not be able to play with it how they imagined. So sure Hasbro..I’ll pay a mere $500 to purchase 2 new android devices..who cares about the $115 I just spent on the Furbies. #upsetparent
Please. So many Kindle HDX owners . Please make furby boom app for us. Our systems and hardware are the latest. Thank you.
The app is available for Kindle HDx! You have to get it from the Amazon App store! Right here: http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Inc-Furby-BOOM/dp/B00FEJ3AXQ
Does the Furby Boom app support Kindle Fire HDX? If not, please explain
Working on it, stay tuned! 🙂
I went to http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Inc-Furby-BOOM/dp as admin suggested on 12/12/13 and only certain models of the Kindle Fire support the Furby Boom App. I purchased the newer model-Kindle Fire HDX and it’s not compatible. Is this correct?
Please admin go to the website and see the many irate reviews from customer who were told it was compatible and it’s not. Please advise further! Thanks
You are right, Hasbro claims that the Kindle Fire HDx will support the FurbyBoom app, but many customers who have Kindle HDx say the app will not work. I dont own a Kindle (I have Ipad) so I was not aware of this problem. I am contacting Hasbro about this and will let all of you know what I find out.
I bought Kindle Fire HDX and I plan to buy a Furby Boom for my daughter. This situation is very important to me. Please share with us if you have any update. Thanks.
I was upset when I found out my kids furby would not work on their kindles. That is not fair the app should work on all divices
Thanks for looking into this. I hope I don’t have to return any X-mas toys:(
keeping my fingers crossed while holding my breath
Ah crap, my girls wanted them for Christmas but if they’re not going to work with their kindles. whats the point?
don’t be jerks.
make available on the fire. A lot of kids have the kindle fire. And a lot of kids have furbys. Why are you making all those kids sad. 🙁
I hope the Furby Boom app becomes available for the Kindle Fire soon.
My grandchildren think that Santa can do anything, and will be so disappointed if the Furby’s that he is bringing will not work with the New Kindle Fire’s that are also in his Christmas sack.
Please do your best to try and get this issue resolved before Christmas Day
If you have the Kindle Fire HD, download the app from the Amazon app store (not Google play). The original Kindle fire doesn’t have the necessary hardware within it to communicate with Furby.
just get the furby boom app off amazon apps instead of googleplay uf you have a non hd kindle fire,thats what i did had no problems am using it right now
My daughter is so disappointed…Witch it will change.
I am very disappointed. This is not good at all. I think it is bad choice to buy the kindle fire. I t does not support Korean language either.
I have the kindle fire hd released 2012 and can use the furby boom app without problem. I just purchased a furby and kindle fire hd 2013 and I’m so devastated to find I can’t download it for her. It’s very upsetting as I finally decided to purchase the kindle fire hd over any other tablet. I don’t see why they don’t sort it out. It’s clearly very popular and wanted. Why the old kindle and not the new one? It don’t make sense. Technology is meant to develop not go backwards!! And also very annoyed as everywhere clearly advertised it works on the tablet!
The app will not work with the new kindle fire HD. It may work with the HDx but it does not download on the new fire HD!!!!
Will have to find a new tablet now
Bought my daughter a kindle fire hd and a furby boom for Christmas and I know she is going to be so disappointed when she realizes she can’t get the app. I tried downloading it from Amazon but no luck. The only reason I bought the furby boom was because I thought I would be able to get the app. Please, please make it available!!! I really don’t want to have to return the furby and buy something else 🙂
I wish it was for the kindle fire!!!! I beg please!!! I even have the kindle fire HD and I went into Amazon and then it said something like ( this is the wrong device )
I don’t know why and if i’m wrong… Please just put it on all kindle fires!!!!! 🙁
How aweful that the kids see that they can use the Furby with their Kindle, but surprise, it’s Christmas and you got a Kindle fire so, oh well, now you can’t do all those cool things with your Furby. That sucks! How can they not have an updated app that will work with the fire?
Hi Jamie! See the new article “Kindle Fire & The Furby App“
Pretty annoyed about this over 200 quid for a kindle and a furby and they cant work together sad wish id just got 3 tab 3 s instead of 1… kindle going back to the shop the morn
Please, please, please…..make an app for the Kindle Fire HDX!!! My daughter just received one for Christmas and her Furby Boom won’t work with it. She is very disappointed. We found online that you can download the app on Kindle but the tech person says he doesn’t know anything about it!!! Please make one for the Kindle Fire HDX for Furby BOOM!
Having done my research and discovered (from numerous sources) that the kindle fire HD will work with the new Furby Boom I was thrilled! However, that has been short lived. Being a mother and not a computer geek and the fountain of all techno knowledge…I believed what I read (in numerous official places) i.e. that the kindle fire hd is an Android device and will work with the Furby Boom App…even the Furby box states ‘Get the app on Google Play’ which if I’m not mistaken is on Android…but not available on the Kindle Fire HD…and I was to know this how?? The advertising on both the kindle fire hd and the Furby Boom is woefully inadequate and thoroughly misleading…in fact I feel a call to trading standards coming on to be honest! It’s Christmas Day, I have wasted hours trying to work this out for a very disappointed and upset 7year old girl…so, thank you Amazon and Hasbro for wrecking her, and indeed our, Christmas Day! You should be thoroughly ashamed and judging by the amount of complaints preceding mine I am clearly not the only person feeling aggrieved by this! Pathetic, useless waste of time and money! I fully intend taking this matter further as if believe no ‘lay’ person could have ascertained that the new Furby Boom wouldn’t work with the Kindle Fire HD given the available information.
As with all those above. Purchased Furbie for my son as this was his top request. Then found out we have no app on the kindle fire. We have no other device and are VERY disappointed.
Very, very, very disappointed the furby app is not available on the kindle fire. Please add this app. How hard can it be? I am sure you would gain a lot of happy young customers.
I am so mad because i just the furby boom for Christmas and my family doesn’t have any apple products. I thought there would be an app I could get on my kindle fire (2nd generation) but THERE WASN’T ANY. It keeps making this high pitch noise because its trying to find the app. Ugh, soooo peeved.
Yeah, there’s no microphone on the Kindle Fire 2nd. Gen. So the app has no way to communicate with the Furby. 🙁
What ’bout windows phone????
Not sure Andrew, I don’t think there’s an app yet for windows mobile?
WE WILL BE RETURNING THE 3 FURBY BOOMS THAT WERE PURCHASED FOR CHRISTMAS, SINCE THEY DO NOT WORK WITH KINDLE FIRE, MY CHILDREN VERY DISAPPOINTED, WILL BE VERY LEERY TO EVER BUY HASBRO PRODUCTS AGAIN!!!!
Hi Cheryl, I understand. I think Furby’s are great toys but the app has been a serious problem.
MY LIL BOY HAS A KINDEL FIRE AND KNOWS ABOUT THE APP HE IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD AND DOES NOT UNDERSTAND Y HE CAN NOT GET THE APP. PLZ CONSIDER THAT KIDS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT DEVICES AND PARENTS CANT AFFORD TO BUY NEW DEVICES JUST FOR AN APP TO BE DOWNLOADED.
Hi Tai, If I had my way, the app would work with all phones and tablets! But, I don’t work for Hasbro and don’t have any control over stuff like that. I know its aggravating, I hope your little on still enjoys his Furby!
For Christmas, both my kids received a Furby and a Kindle. Our hope was that they would be able to use them together. Much to our disappointment, it is not the case (of course, we did not discover that until we tried to download the app). The Kindle is a very popular kid’s tablet because of the parental controls. It would be nice if you would consider an app for it.
Completely disappointed that there will not be an app on the kindle like I really want my kids taking over my phone my kids share a kindle and it would have been perfect there are plenty of people that have different devices they should have an app for all devices
I really want a furby as my cousin has one and loves it but she says that it needs the app to work properly. I only have a kindle fire which I love and is very useful so I was very disappointed when I found that I couldn’t get the app. I would love a furby but I am not getting a new tablet for one app when I have only just got this one. I am sure that there are people out there with the same situation as me.
Hasbro need to do something about it!
Hi lulu123, Furbies do work without an app, but there’s a lot more to do if you have the app to play games, lay eggs and stuff like that.
I bought furby hoping it would work well with my daughter’s kindle fire….this is very disappointing to her and me now I have to download the app on my phone and limit her on when she can use it….soooo sad
im sad cuz I cant name my furby boom without the app.I am just wondering why can’t it be ON kindle fire hd which has all requirments above and also wondering how I can name my furby without app.thnx,bye!
I purchesed the kindle fire hd and a furby boom for my daughter for christmas and although it says its compatible it isn’t i’ve found sites that claim it is but its not what is the deal my daughter loves her furby and her kindle but I am HIGHLY P Oed that they are not compatible with one another. 🙁
Again very disappointed daughter that Furby Boom app is not compatible with Kindle- please do something to rectify this Hasbro
Need to have the app for MEEP also……
Hi I’ve just purchased a kindle fire hdx for my daughter so I can buy her a furby for her birthday in 2 wks but can’t find the app on App Store plz help x
We purchased our daughter the Kindle Fire HDX, because it was the newest Kindle. We were also told that it would work with her Furby Booms, what a let down. Basically Hasbro is saying go by a cheaper device that has android so your daughter can play with her Furby on the kindle had I have known I would of bought something other than the Kindle. Very upset child.
Both my daughters got Furby booms for Christmas and find them quite boring without the ability to use them with their Kindle Fire tablets. I have an iPad, but for some reason the furby app isn’t syncing with their Furbies. Disappointed all around.
Very dissappointed! We bought our children a furby boom & a tablet. We are returning their current tablets & shopping for better ones. We are strongly considering the kindle fire because my husband & I both own one & love them. The fact that there is no furby app (my children love using their furbies with their tablets) may be our deciding factor to buy a different tablet :-/
Please make an app for kindle fires!!
In there defense it says on box of furbys app only works with Google play or apple
My daughter just got her furby boom and couldn’t wait play with it with the app. She has a Kindle and can’t get the app. So now she is using my phone, the only phone I gave that I use for personal calls, business, and Internet. The furby boom would have stayed in the store had I known she couldn’t get the app on her kindle. And she can forget getting any of the smaller furbys until she’s able to play on her Kindle.
The Kindle Fire is a very popular childrens tablet and should be supported !
my son & myself are disappointed that we are unable to use the app with a kindle fire. spend 60$ on it & kinda feel like we are only getting half the use out of it.
We got my daughter a furby boom for her birthday she was so upset that she can’t get the app. Like some of her friends not everyone likes apple products and I never plan on owing one of them please add the app soon so my daughter can enjoy it
Plz get this app for kindle DISAPPOINTED CHILD
My kids have kindle fire HD and I still can not download the app. Could someone show me how to do so? Thank you.
but this problem is only on Kindle Fire or have other tablets ???
Let’s go Amazon…get with the times. You market a product that is very popular for kids, yet you can’t coordinate with Hasbro to get an accessible app… Do you pride yourselves in disappointing young kids? Not a great marketing scheme, in my humble opinion.
Thanks Hasbro. Great toy until my child tried to download on Christmas morning. No he is crying and crushed. He waited a year to get his furby boom. Really, you can’t support the second most common device on the planet?
It’s not fair. Hasbro is going to loose a lot of costumers. If amazon.com makes kindle fire and sells furbies? Theres a problem.
Hi I bought furbys for my children and the app will download,on my son’s older kindle but not the newer one I have bought for my other son this Christmas … we are not impressed and are considering returning them 🙁
I want furby
We all want Furby! 🙂
Super disappointed ! My daughter got the kindle as a gift and I got her a furbyboom…. why should we have to buy a more expensive tablet just to have more fun? Blerg….Hasbro sucks!
Please make the furby app available for the kindle fire
PlZ BRING THE FURBY BOOM APP BACK I LOVE THE APP AND IT IS AN AWESOME!!
I got 2 Kindle Fire’s then I learn that Furby Boom will not work with it. Not happy.
Come on Hasbro how hard would it be to put out a furry app for kindle. More kids have kindle than any other tablet.
I agree!
Well my daughter was really looking forward to download the app after purchasing her Furby, and she was a bit disappointed when she knew that she couldn’t download it to her Kindle Fire. What a shame. A Furby worth nothing. Yet, she still plays with it and has alot of fun, but she really wanted to experience all of the features with the Furby App ,and she couldn’t learn to speak furbish before her Furby started speaking Spanish. I sometimes even feel bad for her. Poor child. And I bet alot of you parents also see your children a bit disappointed because of this. If only Hasbro could make the app available for Amazon…
Wish furry Connected to kf.
Terrible we bought them almost especially to use furby with gutted daughters
I know how it feels I was so mad that t I had to keep on using my mom’s iphone for it and I barely get to, so I want an app for kindle fire.
I was really hoping to get it for !my amazon fire fifth generation.I loved it on I pad and hoped to get it on Tablet please add for amazon fire thanks😊😊
So not fiar other people get to have the app so why not us?so mad
Très grosse déception pour ma fille qui ne peut pas télécharger son jeu sur sa tablette.
Notre autre fille voulait elle aussi son furby mais suite a cela je pense que NS ne l achèterons pas…
Very disappointed. My girls got Furby Connect for Christmas from their grandmother. They can’t use them with their Kindle Fire HD 7.5 SHAME ON YOU HASBRO!!!!
The app is on the kindle I can download it and the furby connects to it but after that it want play.
My three girls for Furbys and Kindle Fires for Christmas, but as I’m seeing here there is no Kindle Furby Connect App. A bit disappointing! 🙁
