Cute but some flaws. – Baby Hazel Gardening Time Game Review

My 3yo LOVES Baby Hazel and the concept is really cute. It keeps her busy and I like that it requires her to pay attention and follow the "instructions" as she has to do what Hazel wants instead of randomly clicking everything on the page. However, I can't rate this one higher because there is no way to choose your level or save your progress. If the app stalls, or if she accidentally hits the download button on an ad (which happens frequently due to the ad placement), we have to start over at the very beginning. Super frustrating and causes meltdowns necessitating my intervention, which defeats the purpose if the whole reason for giving her the ipad was to get her out of my hair for twenty minutes. Apparently you still get ads even on the paid version, judging by its reviews so I will not be shelling out for that. I'm also very curious as to how this app gets away with using the images of licensed characters. Hazel wears Mickey Mouse barettes and plays with a Winnie the Pooh doll in one scene. I highly doubt Axis Entertainment has Disney's approval for that.
