User reviews

Need a subscription

Was really excited when I came across this, thinking it would be perfect for family news reading without some of the inappropriate content of the real news - but turns out you need a subscription so had to delete as can’t access.

Amazing App! Such a great way to learn.

Our daughter is loving this app. She’s suddenly full of facts about the World, surprising us everyday with what she learns.

Brilliant App

I have been using this App a while now and I love the way that you can personalise it to suit individual interests. Would be great to use in a classroom environment or at home with the children. I work in Education and think this would be a great tool for many schools to use.
I also think the ability to use the voice option is great and therefore can reach audiences that have visual impairments or other learning needs.
I’m learning new things each day !
