Hello, I am writing me as a grown-up and I have my wife

### 5/5 — App has no sound

*2026-04-18, version 18.1.5*

My son loves this app. But it currently has lost its sound. Please help us! All the other apps are playing just fine.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2026-03-17, version 18.1.5*

### 5/5 — .

### 4/5 — No explanation of games

*2026-02-24, version 18.1.0*

Hi undoubtedly app is really good and games are great for brain development but for each game I have to figure out myself how to play it would be better if you add how to play steps so that I can tell my child instead

### 2/5 — Well thought out app but why a subscription?

*2026-02-01, version 18.1.0*

I would happily pay a $20 one time fee for this app or whatever, but ffs I’m not paying $8 a month for it. Not everything should be a subscription.

### 5/5 — Worth Paying For

*2025-12-29, version 18.0.0*

My autistic son has been hyperfixated on Eric Carle books since he was tiny, and so this game tapped into that love and opened up a world of learning!

This whole app is amazing. My son has spent a jillion hours practicing tracing his letters, listening to books, learning to spell his name, and even learning abstract concepts that tee up early coding! 

The music is gentle, and the animation is beautiful. We both love how interactive everything is on the app, too. Seriously, this app has been an incredible tool for helping feed my son’s innate love of learning!!

### 2/5 — 買い切りではない！

*2025-12-27*

最長で1年間で9000円は高過ぎw

### 1/5 — I like it better than any other game

*2026-07-31, version 19.1.0*

Probably wondering why I put on the one star on the board I’m sorry I like it but I accidentally almost I wanted to do six stars instead of just one. I’m so sorry even I like I like this game. It’s like I like the second game that you made if you made it to hatchling and you like play with him it’s so cute.
