### 3/5 — Bug fixed

*2015-04-19*

Can now get into all 5 games. Will come back and rate again after games have been played for several weeks.

### 1/5 — Display

*2013-08-03*

Display does not clear after return to home page. Not very good for a child that likes to start clean page.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2013-07-21*

My severely autistic son loves this app! He'll sit there for 10-15 mins at a time and play! Well worth the price!
