Game doesn't tell you it's only 1 level before asking for another dollar to continue. If I had know it was only one level, I would not have breezed through to try and get to harder puzzles.
This is confusing to kids because the vowel sounds are wrong when some of the words are being sounded out.
Kept my 3 year old niece entertained for a while...she stayed in the same app for more than thirty minutes before switching to her old favorites and quickly went back this one. That's a great review from her!
The changes in this update read like a list of the things I would have ask for even though I have never contacted the developer. Clearly they are listening to their users. This app is very well done. I love the way it gently gets more challenging on each level of each task. This app is a winner, especially with these recent improvements.
My daughter loves this app. The graphics are adorable and the chance to decorate her room with cute toys and decorations keeps her playing and learning.
This is a cute app for kids! I like how the puzzles get more challenging. It's great that there are rewards to keep kids motivated!
I have to say, when I saw that at the 3rd level, you had to 'turn' the puzzle pieces, I thought, oh boy, not sure she can do it? I showed her once or twice and now she loves it. What a great way to more realistically work on puzzles than just dragging them in! With a real puzzle, you have to manipulate the piece to see which way it goes to fit it in and this is the only puzzle app I have found that has this. This works on fine motor skills and problem solving too! And, it is a beautiful app! I would like to add to my past review that the updates they have made since then make it even better! Being conscious of parents not wanting our kids to make in app purchases without understanding is important and so many app developers do not consider this…so thank you for adding that security! Not having to use all their stars right away also is a great idea, love that….thank you!! I can tell that you guys are really trying to think of everything! Ha, I can hear my daughter independently playing this app as I write this…that means so much to me, so again…THANK YOU for an awesome app!!:)
Great app! I have three kids that are all engaged in creating and decorating their own rooms!!
