User reviews

Very good

My son has fun learning … and it has helped him a lot. He likes to rescue the superheroes. Thank you

Small writing

Im not sure the set up of the app, the writing is really small to read for a child who is learning, its not compatible with common ipads etc, and the pictures dont always match the sentence very well. There should definitely be a setting for bigger sized font
