### 4/5 — Letters not LETTERS

*2021-05-26*

As this is for younger children
I would think small letters would be better
than capital LETTERS

### 2/5 — Repetitive

*2021-04-14*

My kid gets bored in a short time. It is repetitive.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-05-07*

Tried a simple version and my kids loved it. Purchased full version, app can't load and stays grayed out al the time. I can't even delete it. Please fix, or refund and I will change rating.

### 4/5 — Really cool for kids

*2016-09-07*

Simple games and simple UI

### 4/5 — great app

*2016-05-14*

my kids love this! Very colorful and appropriate words. I only wish it had audio to speak the word when you tap it on the word list, so they could learn pronunciation too!

### 1/5 — Too easy; no levels

*2016-01-28*

It'd be better if there were levels. It's too easy and can't make it harder.

### 1/5 — Mr.

*2015-12-28*

No option to switch off the hint button in settings. Not very well thought app, seems rushed up. Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Enjoy

The grandkids enjoy playing

### 5/5 — Kid puzzle
