This is actually very well done. But I think especially for this price there should be more content. The concept is very good. I wish there were more variety with the hints. They just talk about a cow and that’s pretty easy. To apply those hints to most of the other items is pretty tough. I haven’t yet tried this with my husband but have used similar Tactus apps with him, so see how this would work. I’d have given five starts if there were twice as many (at least) items.
