### 1/5 — Poor spelling

*2022-12-10*

game teaches kids how to spell the state names but spelling isnt correct. For example the game spells Oklahoma as oklachoma

### 1/5 — Not educational

*2020-05-06*

Literally all you do is put the puzzles together?? How is that learning! Plus there’s absolutely NO sound and only TWO states then you have to pay! I do not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-08-06*

Sound doesn’t work. Very upset.

### 1/5 — Only 2 states available for free.

*2017-10-25*

Just installed this app for my 4 year old last night (10/24/2017). We completed 2 states, tried to start a third, and couldn't. A purchase menu immediately appeared on my screen. I figured that there was a per day limit that you could try before purchase. But I was wrong. We tried to play again this morning, and same result.

To access any other activities, we would need to buy the whole game. It would have been nice if that would have been stated in the description. It took 6 minutes for my 4 year old to complete those 2 states. I'm very upset at the fact that somebody could get away with saying something is free and then immediately try to charge you for said free product.

App developers should have stated that it's a very limited demo. They should not be allowed to advertise an app or a game as "free", if the entire contents is not free. It should clearly state in the description, or they should just flat out charge for the product. False advertisement and gimmick infringement brings on lots of lawsuits.

The only reason why I gave 1 starbis because my child did enjoy it. If not, I would have given 0, because of the limited access and deceptive marketing.

Side note: I decided to check out some more of their other reviews and some of their other apps. Low and behold, several other people who gave this app a 5 star review also gave lots of their other apps 5 stars. There is also a pattern in those reviews. They're all written on the same day. Either those reviewers all randomly decided to leave reviews on the same exact day, they are related to or acquainted with the person(s) who created those apps, they're particularly biased towards a brand, or they were paid to leave those reviews. In the best interest of paying customers, Apple should really remove false and deceptive reviews, as well as those developers/creators who falsely advertise their products entirely for free and then immediately try to force you into a purchase.

### 5/5 — Great educational game

Learning game for kids and toddlers.

### 5/5 — Like

*2017-03-29*

My kids enjoyed learning new things in this app, I am very happy with this app.

### 1/5 — Waste of time⌚⏳

*2016-10-08*

This app is okay BUT you can only study 2 state and then you have to buy 💸💵 the other 48 states!! I downloaded this app for my little cousin who is in first grade for when she comes over since she likes studying📝👓 the 50 states and I wanted to try it out yo see if it good for her. And it was very frustrating to find out you would need to purchase other states! Im in 5th grade and I won't spend💰 money💸 on apps. THIS GAME WAS A HUGE WASTE🚮 OF TIME⌚

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2016-06-27*

This app is really great! My first graders love it and are learning a lot at the same time!
