Good app

Good app

Age

My child is 9 and even when I clicked grade 4 it was very babyish. Only enjoy for 4-5 year olds. Do not recommend.

Unable to download chess

Server error keeps coming…. Failure to download

Just doesnt recognize pieces!

We have the tacto doctor kit and it refuses to recognize the magnifying glass so we cant even proceed past it. It has never worked, for months. Want a refund of the damn game already. Support doesnt respond. Don't waste your money on their products. My kid is so disappointed, and I am ticked off.

Read this before u get the app and the kit

So tacto is lame a waste of money seriously why do u need the character if you can just do the game with ur fingers why buy a separate kit even even though ur hands can do all the work

Response from developer

Dear User, We understand you’ve noticed the games respond when using fingers instead of the provided figurines. We’d like to share that our figurines are made with touch-sensitive materials that mimic the conductivity of human skin. Each figurine has a distinct touch pattern, so in some cases, using a finger may inadvertently replicate that pattern and trigger a similar response in the game. If you'd like further assistance, please feel free to write to us at reachout@playshifu.com, our team would be glad to help. Warm regards, Team PlayShifu.

It’s OK, but it won’t let me just play the game

So basically, I have the chess game and sometimes I just like to play with all the characters and so basically I was on Candyland and right when my mom was on checkmate it just ended the game. My mom got really upset after that and today and yesterday I was just playing by myself so I was just trying to kill the King and every time I tried to it was like no your king will die if you move there and I just wanna move the king there like when people are just learning the game it’s OK for them to get mistakes and accidentally killed their queen and king so what I’m really just asking is for maybe an update where the person can actually react to your king being in checkmate and it doesn’t force you to not move your king somewhere when you’re in check cause it didn’t let me move the king anywhere, but I do like the fact that you can actually play them in real life and digitally

Doesn’t work

I bought the doctor toy set, when trying to validate the X-ray screen it keeps saying you have the wrong item then it’s stuck at that page

Rubbish App confusing for kids, lots of bugs

Pieces don’t respond to tapping (I.e. using pawn piece incorrectly selects the horse or castle) Pure pants app and gimmick. Kids likely to get more confused learning with this app compared to a straight forward touch pad game.

Laser game

Stuck at detective woot level 3
Unable to proceed as items to scan are missing

Tacto doctor doesn’t work

Buggy. Can’t even get it to start. Just keeps making me recognize figurines repeatedly without starting the game

Not working after app update

After updating the app, all devices are not working. Very irritating

No longer detects instruments since update

This game no longer works since upgrade as doesn’t detect the tools to play the doctor game. Have tried troubleshooting and it still doesn’t work. Please fix this so my daughter can play it again!

Response from developer

We sent you an email requesting a few details to troubleshoot the issue so that we can analyze it thoroughly and provide you with an appropriate solution. Please respond with the details, and rest assured that we will go above and beyond to improve your Tacto experience. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Team PlayShifu!

Impractical and buggy

I received this kit for free to review and, while it has some fun stories, there’s a lot of bugs in the app and missing instructions that will prevent users from progressing in the tasks and will cause them to lose their progress. I assume this app is for children and want the developers to imagine children with limited patience trying to work through a bug in the app when they have no idea it’s not their fault.

Another reason I gave this tool a single star is for impracticality. For example, the instructions ask you to put the 4 anti-slip frames on your tablet. Most people want to use a screen protector and case to protect their expensive tablet. The instructions imply that you have to remove your screen cover to use the frame corners leaving your table unprotected. Also, as a parent, most kids are messy. How long will it be before you lose a single piece and the game is worthless? Another example is using this in a car on a long trip. You really can’t because there’s 12 pieces to have to sort through.

Overall, I think the idea of getting kids to use motor skills with an app is a cool idea. I just don’t think this is a practical way to do it. Removing the pieces to simplify the tool and putting more development into the bugs might be the best way forward.

I love it!

It is so good. But there is only American English. (No Celsius… ) Please make British English too.

The app doesn’t work with Dr tools

I love the idea of the tacto doctor game, but it doesn’t work with the toy tools. They don’t register when placing them on the iPad. This is disappointing because of the cost to purchase the toy and the general letdown of it not working.

Response from developer

It is ok

I bought the chess one ,would have been better if you don't need the frame to play because it is annoying when you just want to play a simple game it takes you like 5 mins to set up

Doesn’t work

The magnifying glass doesn’t work and we can’t get passed setup :( we called support and were told it was a known issue and that it should fix with the next update. We were told the update would take place within 48 hours. That was a week ago. Will change my rating once the update is completed and we can actually make it through setup.
