Nice try

A nice little game but not intuitive. Poor UI.
Also won’t rotate the screen when you have iPad facing the other way (for example when plugged in to charge) so the game is upside down and wont right itself.

Full of ads, and just boring

Ads after every level, no entertainment at all really. I can see how it’s educational but that is literally all it’s positive points, it’s just so boring sorry guys…

Questionable privacy behavior

Immediately on launch, the game accessed my clipboard. It then proceeded to tell me some of the ways my data was going to be analyzed including by Facebook. I guess I should be grateful it at least told me up front, but that’s unnecessary. Especially accessing the clipboard.

Boring, then an ad, then deleted

enough said.

Adverts adverts

Plays an ad as soon as you complete a level. Also impossible to get past level 7 and when I tried to restart it I got another ad. Boring.
