Love love love!!!

This app is fantastic! I’m a VIPKID teacher. I’m a bit old fashioned and I still like to make my rewards by hand, but there are moments when I feel overwhelmed trying to tailor a reward to my students. With this app all I have to do is tap my screen! The rewards are great and my students love them so far... I really like making rewards as well! The planner is fantastic and so convenient. This helps me breathe a little easier! Thank you!!!!

We are so glad you are loving the app! We hope it will continue to simplify your teaching preparations!

No longer works

I’ve had this app for over four years and it was awesome! But I got a new phone and had to re-download the app. Now it won’t let me create new find-a-star games. I lost all my old ones. I’m heartbroken! 😭

Not sure what happened

Great app until a few months ago. Suddenly the FAS reward is no longer working. I have few students who really loved this reward. Do you know if it will be coming back?
