User reviews

Not toddler friendly and boring

This app is for memorizing Chinese characters through rote memorization. Haven’t we learned to teach better than this? It’s boring. Don’t buy.

Great

Best game ever!!!!!!!!

Very fun games for 2 year old toddler

My son loves playing the games. Some of them games are too difficult for him now at his age, for e.g. whacking the mole because it’s too quick, but I know he will get better as he gets older.

Too little lessons for a paid app. Waste of money.

I can’t believe as a paid app there are only 10 lessons and 89 words taught in this app. It’s totally a waste of money.

Perfect for toddlers/kids, fun and adapts to them

My two-year-old daughter absolutely adores this app. It is helping her build foreign language vocabulary extremely quickly. She is able to navigate and use it all on her own due to it’s very simple and intuitive interface. In each of four cities, the app is structured into learning exploration sessions which unlock progressively, each followed by a quiz in the form of a fun game. There are four quiz/games in each city. The app is smart in that it remembers which words she needs to work on and gives her more practice on those in the games. She gets little trophies after the quiz/games, and she can see all of her trophies in the little trophy case available in the upper right hand corner on every city. Bronze, silver, and gold levels help the parents to see at a glance how the learning is coming along. This is absolutely worth every penny and so much more, and is the best vocabulary building app for toddlers which I have found. My sincerest thanks to the developer who put so much time and care into creating a wonderful language app for kids in this age range.
