bad job

duo pls i hate it the is not fun

I love it but there’s two bugs I want to talk about

Ok so it is an amazing app but there’s a problem I don’t like that whenever my sister Hass to write by herself the letters it corrects her and makes it look perfect I would like it to actually show how she did it so she can improve every time the second thing that was a bug was talked about in another review I looked at before writing this one but the bug is is it whenever my sister needs one of the books and she is asked one of the questions sometimes it doesn’t show the photos or the X and the checkmark is there any way to fix this other than this it is the best app I’ve ever found for children and she is improving a bunch. Ps: my name is Lilith Spadoni
