Babyish & text heavy

Activities are for ages 1-4 (maybe??). The text heavy prompts for parents are clunky to use. I explicated when it offered a URL, that it would be ‘clickable’ but in all of the resource pages, where the text suggests a video or outside content, the URL is not live. (Using iPhone 11, iOs 16.2).

My daughter loves it but…

After so much time the back button doesn’t work. Which is a shame because my daughter really likes the games. Hopefully this can be fixed.
