I personally would like it better if it did not have background music. The music is louder than the voices almost. Would just be better without it. But keeps my guy busy. ### 3/5 — My daughter loves but bugs out *2019-07-11* Freezes a lot. Have to resent the app and then my daughter loses her stickers and has to start all over. Paid for the full version still because I figured she liked it but still having the same issues. **Developer response:** There should not be such issues. Please contact our technical support for more help (let us know what device you use). ### 1/5 — This app bad *2019-07-02, version 2.0.2* It LAGS so bad like I can’t play it you need to fix it ### 1/5 — App Freezes *2019-05-06, version 2.0.2* Love the app but it keeps freezing. Would like my money back if this isn’t going to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate and substandard *2019-04-16, version 2.0.2* A very poor quality app. Educationally dubious. I suggest the people behind this have a think about what ‘make pairs’ actually means. Ripped off. 😡 ### 2/5 — Son loves it, unfortunately it bugs out - a lot. *2019-02-15* My son is an autistic 3 year old. Not many apps hold his attention for play. This one, however, he adores. I recently upgraded to the paid version and I am throughly disappointed. It bugs out constantly. Unable to finish solved puzzles because they won’t get “picked up.” Finishing picking train carts results in a train not moving. Unable to pick stickers. Not sure what the issue is, but it’s frustrating for my son and me. Update soon? I have an iPhone XS Max. **Developer response:** I am sorry for the issues. Unfortunately, we have no similar issues reported but this app is used mostly on iPads or older iPhones. There should be a new version available soon which was also tested on new iPhones, so I hope that it helps. ### 1/5 — No sirve *2019-02-07, version 2.0.2* No sirve ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-12-06, version 2.0.2* I purchased this thinking there would be more but 😢🤦🏾‍♀️ SAVEYOURMONEY ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-11-20, version 2.0.2* It great, doesn’t allow you to chose what you would like to do as in just colors or just abc, disappointed to say the least ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-11-17, version 2.0.2* For a paid game the very least you could do is make sure it works ### 4/5 — Engaging app *2018-09-22, version 2.0.2* My 3 year old grand daughter loves this app, and her 8 year old sister has a turn sometimes too. Thanks for the option to turn off various aspects. I have just one complaint - when the train design has been completed the response is sometimes "You are a gifted artist" which I feel is totally ridiculous. The other congratulatory responses are good encouragement. ### 4/5 — Like it not in love yet *2018-09-18* I like this app ever since my daughter tried it the first time she was so good at it. Shes only 2 years old and already played all the lessons. I do wish there were actually more lessons or anything a little more advanced since it does say age 4+ and shes only 2 and has it all down. Other than that i recommend this app its not expensive and it is fun for kids ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-09-13, version 2.0.2* It says you find options in settings menu but all it does is tick and untick and does nothing and takes you back to the silly games which repeats over and over 🤷🏽‍♀️ technically you control what the child plays because there is no option to choose ### 4/5 — Quick support team reply *2018-06-03* Ok. So I tried the free version, my little charge liked it, so I bought the full version. I kept getting a “buy the full version” message, and started to feel rather frustrated. Turns out, the full version has a different icon which I didn’t realize, so I vented. My bad. All is well now. Thank you, app support! **Developer response:** I am sorry for the issues. You should get all the games. Please check the Settings, if some games are disabled. Make also sure that you run the full version, not the free one (they have similar icons). Please contact our technical support for more help. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2018-04-06* This app continues to tell us to buy the full version. I thought we did that weeks ago. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Nothing works and we can’t even find the app to purchase the full version. I’m going to try and find a different for my daughter to play and learn. **Developer response:** I am sorry to hear about your difficulties. It looks like you are running the free version rather than the full version you purchased -- their icons are similar. You purchased the full version, so its new icon should appear on your device. Please try to search for it. If you need any further assistance, please contact our technical support. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2017-12-16, version 2.0.2* Paid £2.99 for an educational game for my little ones. The games is nothing like advertised. You have to play a load of pain the the backside matching games that we don't want to play in order to get what I paid for! Don't waste your money, I really wish I hadn't! I never usually buy games but it was for the little ones. What a waste! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolute scam *2024-12-03, version 3.0.3* I paid for the full version of this app and it still says that I need to pay to upgrade to the full version. We can only play a bit of each game until it says we need to pay. ### 1/5 — Very little in the app keeps asking you to buy more apps *2024-10-02, version 3.0.3* So useless. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-07-28* I don’t care how good these kids games are anymore. If I pay and there’s still ads for the kid to click on for other purchases, or other apps they should try, I will ask for refund and give 1*…this, and subscriptions and pay to win need to stop! Especially for kids… ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2023-05-18, version 2.0.2* Has matching games no letters or math ### 1/5 — Rubbish! *2022-08-03, version 2.0.2* Absolute rubbish! Waste of money. My 2 year old got bored of the repetition in about 2 minutes flat ### 1/5 — Very Unhappy *2021-02-08, version 2.0.2* At first my grandson(2yrs old) loved this game, now it’s stuck on the same game and won’t go to anything else. I hope this is fixed soon! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2020-06-16* What a waste of money. The app doesn’t even have options to play you favourite game out of the 14 you just get moved on to the next. **Developer response:** Just go to the Settings and select the games you want to play. ### 1/5 — Have this app on other devices and loved it... *2019-08-24, version 2.0.2* Bought it on our new iPad Pro and it does not work at all. After completing an activity, it freezes and doesn’t let us move on. Super disappointed, deleted the app and wish we could get a refund at this point. ### 1/5 — Used to be good. Now full of bugs *2019-08-01, version 2.0.2* My kids used to love this game. Now it is full of bugs and doesn’t work properly. The screen stops working, you have to close and restart the app every 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — Help *2019-07-31, version 2.0.2* I paid for this game and it’s not working it keeps on freezing and I’m very upset I did not pay for a game that doesn’t work contact me with fixing problems please the problem needs to be fixed or my money needs to be refunded now ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great therapeutic tool *2025-03-20* I am happy to write a review for an app that really works on so many levels and in so many ways without glitches or problems.. For example, I was told that a particular kindergarten student would never work with any speech pathologist. He would bite, kick and hit anyone who attempted to work with him in the classroom and would never leave with anyone. After ignoring him and praising others around him for a few days, I went into the classroom and asked the teacher to place the student so that he could see what I was doing on the screen of my iPad. I pulled up this app and began playing. The student got up and stood next to me trying to do the activities. I would not engage with him, and instead of his usual screaming and kicking, he asked, Why?” I told him that he was mean to me and it hurt my feelings. He told me he was sorry and he began playing. This was the beginning of a changed young man. Just now a 3rd grade, cognitive impaired student, who was described as defiant and that he displayed extreme anger, responded positively to my use of this app as reinforcement for complying with my attempts at testing. For every 4 answers he was allowed to do one train activity. I have so many positive examples but let me leave it at, just get it and you will not be sorry. **Developer response:** Stories like this are why we do what we do! As lifelong educators, we’re so touched to hear how our app helped create such a positive breakthrough. Thank you so much for sharing and for your amazing work! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2022-04-22* Thank you for your response about the purchase, wasn’t aware of it being a one time purchase. **Developer response:** This is not a subscription, just a one time purchase app. ### 5/5 — LeeAnne McCoy *2020-06-18, version 2.0.2* Yes I I’m we going home to get pick them up pick up up pick them up pick up them pick up up pick them up ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2016-01-01, version 1.71* My little one loves it. He even started saying fabulous and excellent and he is only 2. ### 5/5 — App *2015-10-10, version 1.71* My son loves this app. He is learning his numbers, matching, and colors at the age of two. ### 5/5 — Great app for my three year old *2015-08-25, version 1.71* I love this app perfect app for learning the basics! ### 5/5 — My son loves it! *2015-02-14* I have downloaded this game couple of days ago for my son specially, cause he always likes to play with my phone. So I thought why not find a game which he would love to play with and learn something as well; and guess what, my son loves this game. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2015-02-12* My son loves this app! We had the free version, but he was in to it that I just had to purchase the full version. He is two and knows numbers, colors, and matching because of this app. One feature I really love is the option to not do specific activities. He doesn't really care at all to choose stickers, and others are a little too hard. But this is an app he can definitely grow with! ### 5/5 — Little girl can't put it down! *2014-07-22, version 1.71* It's my 2 year olds favourite app. First one she goes on in a morning. Highly recommended for enjoyable learning :) ### 5/5 — Excellent App!!🙌 *2014-07-03, version 1.71* Wonderful app, with the help of this app.. My 3 y/o daughter now knows all her colors, shapes, letters and ect... She absolutely loves to learn now!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
