### 5/5 — A-MA-ZING DARLING

*2023-01-02*

I L O V E this game!!
The music is F A B

### 1/5 — Sound bug

*2020-05-07*

Even though we like the idea of the game, the sound is not working properly.  Can’t get the sound going!

### 5/5 — Great Vocabulary game!

*2020-04-11*

My grandson is 5 and we play against each other! It’s so much fun and he’s growing his vocabulary too! We talk about words he wasn’t sure of and that leads to more learning!

### 4/5 — No bad ！

*2018-10-30, version 3.0*

I like it.

### 4/5 — Yah

*2017-06-13*

I like it so much that I play it all the time

### 5/5 — No sound

*2017-05-08, version 2.0*

Went from 5 stars to 1 due to losing sound.  Great app, but useless without sound.

### 1/5 — Black Screen

*2016-10-19, version 2.0*

I downloaded this app because of the great reviews and usefulness, but there is only a black screen when I open this app. I'm not sure if its because this app is not supported on iPad pro or not. No reply from company when I emailed them about the issue.

### 4/5 — Great except for 5 second response time

*2015-12-30*

Great app!  Love the pictures & customizations.
One suggestion to broaden the game's appeal:
For any child or kid who cannot respond in about five seconds, this app would be very frustrating.  
I am thinking of a young child or a special needs child/kid who simply needs more processing time and cannot respond within the five seconds.
Please consider adding an option to make the selection time longer, perhaps picking up to 10 seconds (5 default, change to 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 seconds.)
A lot of games in the App Store would be much better for special needs kids if they were slower and did not expect a quick response.

### 2/5 — Music is annoying

*2014-02-07, version 2.0*

I'd like to turn the music off,but keep the voice to label pictures...please make this possible....

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-08-06, version 2.0*

My kids ages 2 & 5 LOVE it!! Perfect to use during Homeschool.Thank you for a great app.
