Paid $49, no included content

I paid for this pro version and it doesn't include the materials, you have to sign up anyway and pay using the in app store. Just use the free one it sea to be identical. Can't even get a refund.

Response from developer

Thanks for letting us know, that definitely shouldn’t happen. Our Pro version should include full access to the materials without any extra in-app purchases. Please drop a quick message to support@jollylearning.co.uk so we can look into your purchase details and sort this out for you.

I’ve purchased this app today and it’s already crashing! Horrible

GREAT APP, IF IT WORKED😒

Bought the app a few days back. It was working well at first but yesterday I noticed the app was silent but thought the device had its volume tuned down. Upon investigation it’s not our device. The app just has no sound coming out. £9.99 is a lot for an app that is not working. STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT. MY CHILD IS FRUSTRATED IM FRUSTRATED.

No family sharing

I purchased and downloaded the app on my phone and wanted to share it with my son so that he can use it on his ipad. Although family sharing is enabled, I couldn’t share the app. And there is no information regarding how to do sharing on their website
