Paid for this twice

Worked fine on my phone for my boys to play with. Got my son an iPad and had to pay for it again. Only this time, went to sign in and have tried multiple times but won’t app just stalls. So bought it but unless you sign in (which it won’t let me do), you can’t use it. Waste of money.
