### 3/5 — The game is ok

*2026-08-01, version 2.11*

I was going on to the game to practice science, but some things were intelligible because of the pictures in the background which had black on them, and the words were black. So I believe a little bit more effort would have helped this game be a hit

### 2/5 — A few levels work

*2025-07-28, version 2.11*

They should use lighter backgrounds or brighter fonts. Black text on black backgrounds are unreadable.

### 3/5 — Science quiz

*2024-01-12, version 2.11*

You need to fix your backgrounds! Some of them are so dark that it is impossible to read the questions. It is a very good educational app otherwise.

### 1/5 — Cannot See Questions Because Of Background!

*2023-11-08, version 2.11*

The background color behind the questions and answers does not allow for the questions and answers to be seen because the color of the text blends in with the background. As such, we cannot read half the questions/answers on the iPad. We have waited for the issue to be corrected via updates, but after 3 yrs, nothing has changed.

### 3/5 — Pretty easy

*2023-06-24, version 2.11*

It was easy, definitely not for 8th graders. The black background doesn’t let you see the question.

### 2/5 — Your trying to tell me this is for 8th grade!?

*2023-05-02, version 2.11*

No way this is middle school science, I’ve known these things since the third grade, not to mention one of your games are broken. There’s this one game where you tilt your screen to navigate asteroids however the question is outlined in black… and so is the background!! You can’t see it at all! Please fix this, and make it much harder.

### 3/5 — Feed back

*2023-03-12, version 2.11*

Please put readable background in contrast colour otherwise sometime hard to read

### 2/5 — Review

*2022-11-09, version 2.11*

I didn’t like this app because the background made it so you cannot see the writing. If the background was different, it would be better! On the other hand, this app helped me so much. Now I can remember a lot more than I did before.

### 1/5 — This app is so annoying

*2022-07-18, version 2.11*

Like the question and stuff are fine but it’s the background that does it the writing is black and it’s space wallpapers/backgrounds! I can barely read anything because of the wallpaper >:/! Please fix this

### 2/5 — Terrible display

*2022-06-20, version 2.11*

The content is good, but the background pictures make it impossible to read the questions. EXTREMELY frustrating.
