The original version had very colorful and interesting animations. The games were well thought out, and they were a lot more attractive visually but somehow through the “upgrade “everything was significantly downgraded. The games don’t look as visually appealing and all of the animations look way worse than the original they also don’t have any feature to allow you to skip lessons that contain content your child may already know instead you have to painfully and tediously work through a lesson with sometimes six or seven activities inside the lesson in order to progress to the next lesson, which still may not get you to where your child’s level may be. There’s real no change to this app, except for adding a few AI generated videos and significantly downgrading almost every other aspect of the app don’t waste your time or your money. Was it was a great app with great potential somehow they ruined it. ### 1/5 — Quá tệ *2025-07-22, version 3.9.57* Lừa ### 1/5 — Đã mua vĩnh viễn và bị lỗi *2025-06-30, version 3.9.56* Đã thanh toán mua phần mềm vĩnh viễn nhưng lỗi nhiều.
