Please make these features 🙏. ### 4/5 — Nice *2020-07-12* Bought everything in the app menu because my daughters love this app, wasn’t disappointed. They talk/babble right back to him.

Now I’m not no coder or anything but I think it’s something with the scheduled calls in the parents menu. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2022-02-15* Stupid and absolutely not useful application, it takes about 2 minutes to listen to 6 samples… and that all ### 1/5 — Mystery Charges *2021-10-05* The app just charged me $2.99, but I haven’t subscribed, I can’t cancel a subscription anywhere in my Apple ID and nobody made an in app purchase. We haven’t opened the app on days. Seems a bit dodgy, I hope I don’t keep getting charged! If I do I will need to get Oscar involved :/ ### 1/5 — Will not open, iOS 13 *2019-09-22* Force closing immediately when attempting to open. Deleted and downloaded again, same result.
