My child is 7 and I would like if it let her name the states as the app tells you the state. Also it doesn't stay "lit" up after it tells you the name. Do like the telling of state things to see, just needs more states included. Good potential, update! ### 5/5 — fantastic App! *2013-08-19* The has to be one thebest deals of all the apps. It is well written and keeps you enthused. if you want to learn the states and capitals this is the app for you no question. ### 4/5 — Best States Game *2013-08-14* My 4 and 2 year olds love this (but older kids learning states would enjoy too). Wish they had a "learn landmarks" feature rather than just quizzing you on them. But overall fun, my 2 year old knows where all the states go from this puzzle. ## Frequently asked questions about Explore the USA with Roxy ### What age range is Explore the USA with Roxy designed for?
