Frustrated

I downloaded the App keen to use it but the read to me option only worked in some instances and the functionality was very clunky and didn’t work quickly as would be anticipated especially for use with kids.

Well done and thank you

I love this app! For so many reasons: it's Australian, it's not overly stimulating or distracting, it's written to be child friendly, its well made and free, it's easy to use and focuses on the main messages well... Fantastic app!

Love it

My daughter loves this, fun colourful. She likes the songs too. She struggles socially and this really helped her open up to me and discuss the issues she is having. Great app!

Well thought out

Very helpful

This is a great app for my kids. I have seen them take it all in and they understand alot better now. Have even had other parents ask for it's name etc for their kids..
