I was reading Book 5 of this today and I saw on the back, “Download now” and it’s crap. I literally has the same facts as book 5 but way less, I can get these at my local or school library for free! By the way, you’re not getting my money.

I sat there for like 2 minutes reading then the pack was done! And I am not spending any money on something that may only last for ten minutes. I know I want to get this app but don’t it is a waste of yourself time!


AMAZING but...
baby heehee

Coming from a kids point of view the app is fun but I think you should not have to pay for stuff ?


The WORST
Money spending

You get like 10 facts and then you have to pay for the rest. I should never of got this app.


#%*+#%{*! Crap ?!

I got this app so I can laugh and have fun but no it gives you 2 facts and asks you for your money ? I don't think so. And the grownup questions a 2 year old can solve that problem. Sorry to those that say it is good and an like to pay money for crap ? but they didn't fool me for a second.

Purchased a pack for my daughter, but now she can’t access the facts. It keeps giving her an error message.

Spent money on this and cannot download what I bought. Reinstalled app no luck. Tried different device still no luck. Extremely disappointed child and parent. Get your act together guys. And send me a refund for failing to provide what was purchased. Again 1 star is generous but apple in they wisdom will not allow 0 stars.

This game is stupid I can't do anything it kicks me out of the game and it has no options for me and it turns my iPod off this game is so stupid


Unable for enjoyment

I liek the idea, and facts are really captivating, but there are so a little! Moreover, I would change the design of the app: it's too light-minded - for such type app design should be more serious.
