## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Cannot get to 100 words

*2021-11-02*

My daughter has 99 words but the 100 th word will not open. She wants to continue using this game and she’s doing great with it but she can’t open word #100.

### 1/5 — Last mountain doesn’t work

*2020-04-29*

Cannot climb the last mountain. Such a disappointment for my child!!! Was going to buy part 2 but if the first app is glitching then I’m not going to bother unless the developer fixes it!

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2020-04-17*

My daughter was totally motivated and excited to move to the next mountain, but could only access the first 25 words. What a shame that the app doesn’t deliver what is promised in the explanation.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-04-15*

Can only access 25 words! Total rip off!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-01-26*

You cannot pass level 2 as the hairies won’t jump.

### 1/5 — Needs updating!!

*2019-07-17*

Really good concept but the game has glitches which is ruining it and it’s not helpful. The game won’t load and when it does, the next level doesn’t load even though we have spelt all the words!?!

### 2/5 — Fix it please

*2023-08-10*

Hi I am Alexandria king I am nine years old and I love this game, but there is a small problem when I try to press on the word mum it won’t work it stays silent, instead of saying the word please fix it because I really love this game and I really want to finish it by the way, happy happy second day of school

### 2/5 — Is this it?

*2019-05-10*

Do you only have to spell the words?  I bought this to help with reading, it’s not what I thought.

### 2/5 — We are stuck

*2017-02-06*

We love the hairy apps and this starts great. However, we are stuck on level 2. It is impossible to get the hairys to jump across to the next mountain. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Great concept but playability issue

*2017-01-28*

So the game idea is great and learning words is fantastic but you can't get passed the second level game. Jumping the hairy thing is impossible for a child from level 2 onwards. Slight rework and the game is worth 5 stars.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 4/5 — Frustrated but good

*2023-08-01*

When I got this it was AWSOME but I’m done at 99 the word mum won’t work so whoever made this game please upgrade the word mum otherwise thank you for this AWSOME app. One more thing it took all my hairies

### 4/5 — PLEASE ADD AN AZERTY KEYBOARD.

*2015-04-25*

And please allow us to switch the background sounds off (good answers...)
Thanks.

### 3/5 — Help:lots of frustrated parents and kids!

*2018-07-31*

These apps are amazing. I teach 5-6 year olds and they are top notch for developing areas a child struggling to read and spell will be weak in.
But please, please will you fix the game so you can make the hairies jump from the second flag to the third. So so frustrating for a grown up never mind a child! This has already been mentioned a year ago by another user.

### 2/5 — Started out good.....

*2015-09-01*

Was impressed with the first level, however, to progress to the next level you have to save four 'hairy's'. This appears to be nigh impossible and left my son and I more frustrated than trying to remember how to spell a word!
