Not a great first experience. The first question "enter your year of birth" - I enter my child's date of birth, but then the field to enter DOB resets. Not really sure what to do as the app is for children and I entered their year of birth, I'm guessing for tailored content. Not great from a £9 app. I currently can't use the app

One of the first games with the sounds and the pillar of 4 letters just doesn't make sense. Kills the whole app right when it should be taking off.

It's not free anymore! My autistic 12-year daughter wants to play it but now you have to log in. I wish it was free again. No, I'm not referring to the game's price, I bought it already, but the log in feature is so annoying! Can you remove that in the next update please?

Even though I haven't played this for years, I really recommend it to your child. I used to use it when I was younger and it taught me really good. 👍

This is the only app I would ever recommend. Perfectly helped my son to read so that he started school all reading full sentences and what he learned at school (in England).

Would be a good game, but why show the famous flag colours (very similar) every time a task is completed correctly, which is about every 30 seconds?

I downloaded this because it was in the language learning section, and I love the art style. I was hoping it would be multilingual because learning language through games is much easier for me than basic memorization of flash cards and words. I'd love to see other languages as an option in the future, and I look forward to teaching my monster to read, because I'm still going to play this as an adult.

Я прошёл её гдето в 6 лет сейчас там обновление мне уже 11 лет, а эта игра досих пор осталась ну и удалять я её никогда не буду. Игра ооооочень прикольная. Хоть мне и 11 и все что в этой игре я знаю но всё же она остаётся легендой...
