### 3/5 — My childhood

*2026-04-28, version 4.4.2*

I had this app when I was little so it was different back then but when I came back it had a panda with a zoo that looked ai. I really didn’t like it. Plus when we wrote the words, it had a tracing star. I hated that one. I liked it when my fingers got to practice writing without tracing. Everything else is pretty much good. PLEASE FIX!
