### 1/5 — Not recommending it for your kids

*2025-02-09, version 1.5*

My kids they played it happily and then they started to swear. So I had a look at it and turned out it had the S word in it and the middle finger an was encouraging kids to brake in to peoples homes and some weird blue and green catapillar started twerking and rolling its eyes and my kids started doing all that especially the middle finger so won’t recommend it.

### 5/5 — Bedo Bendigedig / excellent app

*2018-04-14, version 1.3*

Mae fy mhlant wrth eu boddau gyda’r ap hwn, ac mae llais melfedaidd Gwilym yn berffaith.

Both my children (3 and 1) love this app. My 1 year old is totally engrossed, and my 3 year old loves taking Bedo all around the house to sing in different places. The hand movements are easy to follow and is a fun way to learn Welsh with your children.
