Wow

Good job on creating this game

Should be the perfect learning tool

Like others, I was looking for the beauty of Turtle Graphics (without the bulk of Logo) and this looked like it. I so much wanted this to be a 5* application, but it is unfortunately far from that. The tutorials are very good, but exceptionally linear. If you don’t do exactly what the instructions tell you, it will not work. Worse; the instructions don’t tell you enough to complete the tasks and there is no indication of where you went wrong. The faults are many (the turtle doesn’t do what it’s told!) but it does look good. This will all cause disappointment for children and put them off learning a very useful life-skill. It’s a great shame as It would take so little effort to correct these faults. However, ’support’ are dismissive to the point that I was told I didn’t follow their instructions and therefore there wasn’t an issue with their software - if they actually listened, and played with their own creation, they could easily correct these errors.

Buggy

Won't even open. Was looking forward to this game for our kids but can't even play it.

Brilliant, aber dreister Preis für so wenig!

Die Idee ist wirklich zuckersüß. Und selbst mein Erstklässler hatte mit dem ersten Kapitel schon einen Riesenspaß und viel gelernt. Leider hatten wir an Tag zwei Kapitel 2 und 3 durch und das wars. App liegt in der Ecke. 3,99€ für 1-2 Tage Spielspass sind ein unverschämter Preis. Baut das Programm aus, geht langsamer vor, die mindestens 10fache Kapitelanzahl und dann kann man dafür auch Geld verlangen. So nur als Gratisspiel für einmal zwischendurch zu empfehlen. Wirklich schade!
