I love this app
Peaceful, beautiful. We bought a new iPad specifically for this app. Our old one didn’t support it well. My son has autism and this is one of our favorites. Thank you!!Anniebell88
Don’t Download
This was by far the worst educational app I’ve downloaded. Not only is there lots of bugs, it also automatically chargers the buyer. I thought I would get a month free to try it out, but it charged me $50 immediately. I then deleted the app, and was still charged. The process of trying to cancel this app was awful. Glad to know I wasted $50 on an app that is worth nothing! Be careful!!Show lessNicole13486
Buyer beware
I downloaded this app for the 1 week “free” trial for my grandson who is on the autism spectrum. However, I was billed for a full yearly subscription. I noticed this one day after the subscription started and attempted to correct it. Apple customer service advised that this was non-changeable. So, please be cautious if you take a “free” trial of this app. It could cost you dearly as it did me.Show lesswjpsr
Buyer beware
I got charged $40 for a one year subscription that doesn’t work. Full of bugs! I tried to turn off automatic renewal because I don’t want more than one year service which is already paid for in full up front and I can’t turn it off or the app stops working. I have a brand new (1 month old) iPad with hardly any memory taken yet and I keep getting a message that their isn’t enough space on iPad to download content but when I check usage is settings there is plenty. This app is total crap. Should not have these issues for price charged!Show lessDC Wally

Hi DC Wally. We're very sorry you're experiencing problems with the app We recently discovered an issue affecting the app in this way and are currently working on a fix. There will be an update very soon to fix the issue. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. If the update resolves your issue, we would be grateful if you would consider revising your review.Love it! But it’s buggy.
I am a pre-kinder teacher and use this app for the kids during choice time. It’s engaging and educational. They love the stories and drawing features especially. The games on the other hand bug out so that they aren’t able to progress which can be frustrating because they are limited on the time that they get to play.Show lessdjohnsonCW
Lots of bugs while in the shapes section
If you can fix the bugs that will not move the shape or will move the shape but also zoom in the shape. It’ll also be nice to have an option to resume where it was left.Raksha Rathnam
Fantastic
My daughter is 2 with some speech delays. She is learning so much. I’ve honestly never seen an app that is so powerful and I’ve been downloading educational apps since my son was 2, he is 11 now. There are so many different things to do, she never gets bored. I paid the yearly rate. Very much worth it.Show lessOOOhhh AnnaBella
Unable to purchase full content
I am trying to make a full purchase of the app, but it kept getting stuck at processing. I really would love to get this purchase as my son has enjoyed the limited content. Please help.Jackobear
Looks pretty good so far but FIX TYPOS, please!
We just started our free trial, as our three year old loves Eric Carle (and quite frankly, the limited content was way too limited to get a real sense of the app). We are enjoying the bright colors, familiar characters, and variety of games/subjects.
Since the book section wasn’t available in our limited content exploration, we went to read one—the one about the frog. The pictures are cute, the information is age appropriate and the animations, though limited, are fun (the sound effects are especially appreciated by my preschooler). BUT! Imagine my surprise to find a typo! Yes it’s a common mistake —“its” incorrectly is spelled “it’s”—but COME ON!!! This is a LEARNING APP and there are grammar errors?!! Not cool. Not appreciated. And definitely NOT what I expect from anything Eric Carle-related (he’s a Big Deal in our household).
For the money that we are expected to pay with the auto-renewal, I expect better editing and proofreading. Please look over AND CORRECT the text of the books and other sections of the app as part of the next update!Show lessShiGold

Hi ShiGold. Thanks for your feedback, and well spotted! We will of course correct this as soon as possible. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.Waste of time
We have no money. The app is so ridden with ads trying to get you to purchase their full version that our 2.5 year old gets stuck in advertisement videos. The app opens up and asks you to pay or do a 7 day free trial that automatically bills you after the 7 days. If you manage to see the tiny text giving you the option to play the limited version, the play page is partially filled by a button telling you to start your free trial. This app is not meant for toddlers of families who don’t have the monetary means of getting a $40 subscription.Show lessDeshonanana
