### 5/5 — :o

*2022-08-20, version 3.3.1*

Dang, I remember this game I used to play as a child.

### 4/5 — good but one problem

*2020-06-13, version 3.3.1*

this game is very fun to play! the thing that bothers me is when I play the princess game, there are no more letters left to pick to complete the word. please fix it as soon as possible!

### 1/5 — FIX IT

*2019-09-15, version 3.3.1*

Several of the games have missing letters! Which means you keep looking but they aren’t there and your can’t advance. So basically they get you to pay for it and not be able to use it!! So unless you want to pay for something that is going to make your kid frustrated and turn into wallpaper for your device, STAY AWAY!

### 1/5 — Please fix the issue.

*2019-06-29, version 3.3.1*

My child is frustrated the letters aren’t available to spell words. Please fix ASAP.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-03-15, version 3.3.1*

Works great!

### 3/5 — Bugs frustrate my daughter and me!

*2019-01-11, version 3.3.1*

The princess one where she swims around asks for letters that aren’t visible to choose. I’ve tried it many times. I’ve tried turning my device to see if the orientation of the screen matters but it doesn’t. I want to like it more, but this isn’t good.

### 1/5 — 3.99 down the drain

*2017-02-23, version 3*

It's missing letters in the games!!!! So frustrating for my child. Might as well have been free.

### 3/5 — Who is this for?

*2015-03-07, version 2.1*

For two year-olds, there is letter recognition; for 3-4 year-olds, there is letter tracing and sounds; for 5-6 year olds there is determining the first letter of an object. Basically, the is more like 5 apps in one, most of which won't be age-appropriate for your child.

### 2/5 — Slow paced and boring

*2014-12-19, version 2.1*

I wish this app was more of a faster paced game. The students even said "it takes too long". And it does take far too long! This isn't an app malfunction issue, it's the design of the game. This is turn makes for a boring app with boring activities. The students played for a few minutes before asking to play something else. I'm totally bummed because I bought the bundle and I had high hopes! :-/

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-01-04, version 1.4*

My three year old loves this app. It teaches her so much and she loves it. Worth every penny
