The Background On The Timer Selection Menu Looks AI Generated

Thanks for listening to my original review on this app as I cannot tell if you updated the pictures and still were using AI to made them but you still didn’t change the background of the timer selection pages again as that easily looks AI generated as some of the white color things on it doesn’t make sense at all. But if you change that or if not AI somehow explain how you made it I will put my review to 5 stars.

AI Generated Pictures?

Just realized you started updating this app again which I really wasn’t expecting looking at the update history of this app more then 5 mouths ago but looking at the new preview screenshots for this app the screenshots feels so off as not anything was redesigned and what was redesigned is in a different style now and now there are different pictures on the buttons in the menus but when comparing all of them together their styles aren’t fully the same on like the eyes and mouth for example which makes me feel like you used ai and has a person who loves being creative and loves art I’m disappointed as using ai fully for pictures creates a miss opportunity to improve your art style and do your true art style, and the person on the app icon of this app never had legs, feet, and a tongue before and also never wear human clothes so these new pictures just feel wrong to me and like you forgot how your character works, so main thing I guess this review is leading up to is just leave this app alone it’s perfect how it already was, the only reason it should of got an update was to be compatible with the latest iOS versions but besides that I think you should of leave it alone in the first place.

Love this app

We have used this almost every day since our little was two years old. He’s five now and still uses jt to get dressed and brush his teeth. Super fun music, we love the different languages, the best!

Gran actualización

Gracias por arreglar la aplicación luego de la actualización, se ve y funciona genial

Brilliant

Works every time! Tidying up and brushing teeth are the ones we use the most. Highly recommend!
