I am helping watch my younger 2 grandkids during this pandemic. Schools are shut and my d-i-l is home educating the older 3 kids. I am so grateful for these apps. My almost 4 year old catches on quickly and is able to figure out his way through all of them. Directions are clear and the positive reinforcement vocals make him feel like he is doing a great job. I love that little dance Grandma does when he is successful in the letter lessons. I just downloaded two more Grandpa/Grandma apps before I realized they would give me a free app for a review. How generous is that!! Their kindness and genuine values are reflected in the games. Can’t wait to see which one I get. ### 5/5 — Best educational app!!! *2016-08-29* The best thing about the app is that it has math and science. ### 3/5 — Update Pluto *2016-05-11* The Horizon spacecraft made it to Pluto and sent back stunning photos. Please update the app to reflect this new information about Pluto. It is still saying that the spacecraft will reach Pluto in Summer 2015. ### 1/5 — Too buggy *2016-01-08* Bought this a few months ago. Many bugs. I assumed it would get updates for fixes but nothing. I would suggest staying away from this app and the company. Seems they just want to sell apps, not support them. ### 1/5 — Don't buy - several glitches *2015-12-24* App has several glitches. Making this game worthless. ### 5/5 — another hit! *2014-10-16* My 3 and a half year old has really been enjoying the Grandma and Grandpa games and I was excited to see this new one pop up! I bought it immediately and it's all he's been playing the last week. I love the informative sequences about each planet, and the math problems. He's really digging it! I love that there are bits he doesn't quite "get" at first but he enjoys anyway...and then enjoys on a whole new level as he learns! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-08-21* Bought for my preschooler girl, she loves it and so do I. Very fun and educational, sound is fine. You get to pick a planet to visit, build a rocket ship to get there, it gives you key facts and real videos, you do alien math games, etc. Very cute and well done. Well worth the two bucks. ### 1/5 — No sound *2014-08-17* Completely jazzed to buy, but no sound. Emailed company and I have heard nothing. Not cool. ### 1/5 — 4 year old loves it but this game has issues *2014-06-25* My boys love this game but at the part of that game where it says arrange these in tallest to shortest X's this is where the glitch happened there all same size and you can't correctly arrange them therefore it's not letting you go on with the game ### 4/5 — Fun but cannot turn off sound *2014-06-08* A really nice and informative app. After visiting the Planetarium, this app keeps his interest alive. Wish I turning off the sound would work though ## Frequently asked questions about Grandpa In Space ### What is Grandpa In Space?
