Chapter 1 and 6 have the same words. Please update!

Really?

I am still in complete disbelief I just paid a mere $1.99 for such a bottom of the barrel app. As a matter of fact this is my very first app review. The interface & art direction is subpar at best. It functions as good as a "drag & drop" IOS tutorial. I can understand the desire to "cash in" on an iPad app for kids. But at the very least give it some character & designer love. Really? I feel like a sucker. Again. Really?

It's ok but

My 5 year old finished it in 10 mins so the main complain is there are too few words to spell. Great idea just needs more substance.

I did not order this game and you are charging me for it. I mistakenly was about to download it and quickly deleted it so do not charge me for it.
