Need changes

App it’s self is good,but need to change a bit. It’s pretty annoying because every time leave app, it’s log out. I have two kids, would be better that will stay accounts and I could choose which I want and don’t go look for log in password and name.

Not working -help

I have bought the app and have a school log in for my daughter. The app won’t stay open even after deleting the app and re installing it. The school login is wrong. Please help as my daughter has spellings to practise over half term and she learns better with the app than writing them out. Feeling very frustrated

Crashes at start

The app crashes as soon as I open it. Uninstalled and reinstalled but still not working. Wouldn’t expect this with a paid app.

Just updated to iOS 27.0.1 now won’t open

App no longer opens after updating to 27.0.1. The initial animation of the app opening and going full screen starts then the app just closes. Tried restarts and reinstalls but it hasn’t fixed it
