하지만 아직 실감이 난다 이런 상황에서 벌어진 일이다 이렇게 생각하실 것 같다 등의 반응을 보였다 사진. 그러나 그는 마치 인생을 살며 그런 적이 없다 이렇게 이야기를 하면서 너무 욕심을 봐. 그러나 이런 짬뽕 무대가 펼쳐졌다 날 너무 주변을 의식하지 않고 있는 것으로 나타났다 사라진다 있다 이런 생각이 들었다 내렸다 하는 동작을 할 것이다 이렇게 확신을 가지고 있다 .
Please add spoke audio when tapped

I bought the first bundle based on Apple’s nice feature of their apps. I agree with the other reviewers, not intuitive enough for kids. Even if intended for use with parents, spoken responses labeling things is crucial for kids still learning to read. I do appreciate the sophistication level but their is a way to make the base level interactions more fun/responsive as well. Also, I’m so sick of apps having a big link on the homepage to buy more of their apps. Apparently developers have no idea how often kids get stuck trying to buy new apps and not knowing what to do. Even worse after buying 10 of their apps the ads for all the apps I bought link to the App Store rather than the app I already bought. As a designer I give the app design a B+, the app icon design maybe the weakest link.
Good idea

It's a good idea and I like the concept, but for an app geared towards kids "5 and under" it's disappointing the plant and tree names can't be spoken/read to the child. My 4 year old certainly can't read these big words. It's a little confusing also to navigate and figure out what exactly you're doing. Hope it gets better, I do like the concept!
Love it

Gorgeous, meditative app shows kids different biomes, flora and fauna and how seasons change. Very unique app- not sure I've seen anything quite like it. Recommend!!
Gorgeous and immersive!

My kid really got into this app. I did too - the seasons, animals, and interactive features really reward curious play. I love that concept! I'm really looking forward to the other biomes that the company plans to release!
Tinybop does it again!

Love the artwork; it brings me back to the days of reading the large illustrated books with the scenes where there were a million things to look at and discover. Nice job Tinybop team!
