I like it. I like the different planes too. ### 5/5 — Took a minute, but now kid’s favorite *2014-12-19, version 1.0.2* This is a perfectly-timed app for my almost 4yo. It’s the right level for his skill and encourages him to try again when he doesn’t “win”. The levels are increasingly difficult and he’s enjoying progressing through them. Winner. ### 5/5 — Fab app *2014-10-25, version 1.0.2* My preschooler loves the Space Racers tv show and really loves this app, too. An app based on a STEM based show? I feel just fine about that screen time! (Also, the game is somewhat addictive for those non-preschoolers in the house.) ### 5/5 — Addictive Fun! *2014-10-16* I love this App!

More please! ### 5/5 — Great game for my kids *2014-10-14* This game is highly educational for my kids. It grows their learning abilities, and we love the show on television. It is amazing to see them have fun while learning at the same time! Great game!! ### 5/5 — Five star! *2014-10-12* Great companion game for the TV show. My kids love both. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2014-10-07* My 5 and 7 year old kids both loved this app. Fun, thoughtful, beautifully illustrated, non-gender specific.
