User reviews

A lot of potential - needs a lot of work

First problem noticed is that the lowercase T is not correct - this is relatively minor when we are talking early learning, but still isn’t good. Next issue is HUGE - just like the view of the app preview shows the slides sideways - this isn’t a fluke and is how it is in the app as well. The words and certain times of the larger chalk board coming up are completely sideways and it has no ability to be adjusted. Using on iPad pro

Good app

The sound isn’t working anymore.

The app had sound when tracing but now I cannot get the sound to work. I’ve deleted th app and reinstalled in twice and it’s still not working. Help!

Good App

I like this app but I get irritated when I have to pay to buy half of it.

Good App, Doesn’t transfer between devices

Purchased the app and enjoyed it, but when I tried to open it on another device (same Apple ID) it said I needed to purchase the app again. Customer service was no help and said it currently isn’t made to be used by a single user on multiple devices ( like iPad AND parent’s phone). A bit of a letdown. Also didn’t transfer to new phone. Kind of a sneaky way to get multiple purchases.
