### 2/5 — App got stuck on prizes

### 1/5 — Boring and limited games

*2021-04-27, version 2.4*

Finished all the games in about twenty minutes. No interest from my four year olds to repeat.  Total,waste of money. Wish I could return it

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-05-02, version 2.0*

Rip off. Can't download, no customer support listed.

### 1/5 — App crashes as soon as I do anything

*2017-04-14, version 2.0*

I have already paid for the app and it throws an error message almost immediately, freezing. First, I got it by clicking "play" then the back arrow, and then after I force quit and tried again, it happened another time when I visited the parent info section and then exited that. I bought this for my daughter to play with on a road trip tomorrow morning... so much for that.

### 1/5 — No Sound

I thought I would chance it even reading other peoples reviews. Definitely doesnt have sound. "Super" annoyed.

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2014-01-27, version 1.0*

Just bought a few minutes ago - no sound.  Tried all steps from "support"; no change. Nice graphics, but we are hearing customers also.  My iPad is working well otherwise.  Will request refund.

### 5/5 — Kids having fun

*2014-03-07, version 1.0*

My Grandkids love it.  No problems for them. Great sound.

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2014-01-18, version 1.0*

I have sound without a problem. It's about having your settings correct.  The app is excellent and my three year old daughter loves it.

### 4/5 — I have sound!

*2014-01-03, version 1.0*

My device side mute button was on and I had to turn it off to hear the sound in the app.  Try that, and if that doesn't work then go to your system settings to look at your mute settings.  This a "Super" great app!

### 3/5 — No sound!!!!

*2014-03-08, version 1.0*

Just spent $ on this app but it has no sound- very disappointing

### 2/5 — Grammar Problems

*2016-10-15, version 1.2*

For an app essentially teaching English, you've got some grammar issues. Please fix so that my kids don't grow up saying "I sunk it, Mom!" Maybe you could change it to "You've sunk it!" or "You sank it!"

### 2/5 — Daughter loves but some inappropriate content

*2015-05-01, version 1.2*

Daughter enjoys the game but just noticed some prizes she won on some games I'm the app. One is a pill bottle with mix of pills and another is a jug similar to a moonshine jug. My recommendation would be to remove them, at least the pill bottle. Not needed. Not saying they promote pill popping but not needed.

### 2/5 — Slow paced and boring

*2014-12-19, version 1.2*

I wish this app was more of a faster paced game. The students even said "it takes too long between each word". 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! :-/
