Great app

My son loves doing this and the lure of new bugs acts as a great incentive for him to keep going. He asks to do it every morning, so what more can I ask for?

Only issue I have found is that if you don't sort the full list of 100 words into "known" and "not known" right at the start, and instead choose to "take a break" I couldn't find any option to then carry on at a later stage and had to start all over again. I guess you could argue that it's pretty basic for the cost, and am sure my son will eventually get bored, but it is much better than paper flashcards!
