Amaizing

I have this app for over 7 years and I can say this by far the best app for toddlers to help them with tracing numbers letter and more. My kids love it now I have a 3 year old learning to trace his name and it awesome to see how he has memorized all the letter and how to write on a sheet of paper with a pencil thanks to this app

Settings don’t work

Not able to change settings. Alphabet starts at letter R and won’t change to start with letter A. Very annoying. Also when I change the difficulty settings t doesn’t change. I’ve sent an email but have not received a reply. I want my money back.
