Slick Garbage

This seems totally designed to keep you kid clicking stuff that is mostly a distraction from phonics. Trying to get a refund tbh.

Happy Long Term Customer

I’ve had this app for a few years now, and don’t usually leave reviews. But I learned this team DOES listen to their customers, and I’m leaving a review to say thank you for caring for those of us that were loyal to you prior to your new (understandable) model.

A memorable childhood game!

I remember playing this when I was really little, around 5 or 6 yrs old. Some of the best moments of my life. I’m almost a teenager now, and coming back to this game is a breath of fresh air, and kinda nostalgic in a way. This game is so memorable, highly recommend.
