### 1/5 — Télécharger

*2022-12-25*

Impossible de télécharger l’application sur la tablette de ma fille alors que je l’ai acheter sur mon téléphone. 
Très déçu car elle ne peu apprendre que lorsque je peut lui donner mon téléphone.

### 4/5 — Great, except…

*2022-05-12*

Needs to include the functionality of ‘Writing Wizard’

### 5/5 — Génial

*2021-05-28*

Vraiment une application excellente. Pour une idée d’évolution : permettre à l’adulte de cibler et choisir les mots (par exemple correspondants aux dictées Montessori physiques (bec, sel, ver...)
Merci pour vos applis dont je suis une adepte depuis longtemps !

### 1/5 — Partage familiale qui ne marche pas avec cette application

*2021-05-04*

Application probablement sympathique.

En revanche, politique de développeur plutôt douteuse… j’ai procédé à l’achat de cette appli depuis mon compte iCloud et je souhaitais que mon fils puisse s’en servir sur son iPad.

Hors l’achat n’apparaît pas dans le partage familiale alors qu’il est marqué dans le descriptif de l’application que c’est possible : résultat 5€ jeté à la poubelle

Pour le moment je mets 1 étoile, je modifierai ma note en cas d’une mise à jour de l’application pour que je puisse utiliser mon achat

Super application, ma fille adore et moi aussi. J’aimerais plus de mot , sa serait bien d’en rajouter  !

### 1/5 — Fonctionne mal

*2020-05-18*

Ma fille sélectionne la bonne lettre mais lorsqu elle essaye de la déposer dans la case correspondante , la lettre repart à sa place ... elle essaye jusqu'à a 8 fois avant d y arriver ... rend l application inutilisable ! L appli est elle prévue pour des enfants ? 
Des blocages de lettres viennent également perturber l activité... 
inutilisable ...
