Cute App with Great potential, just needs some tweaks – Rhyming Bus: sounds for spelling + reading Review

Very cute format for an app to practice rhyming words. I do like that there are variations in spelling. This way children have to listen for rhyming parts rather than just match a spelling pattern visually. I do have some suggestions. 1. One of the rhyming pictures is "bar" with graphics of an alcohol bottle, martini and mug of beer? Totally not appropriate for a school setting. That choice should be replaced. 2. It states in the description that only the rhyming animals can get on the bus. I was able to choose pictures that did not rhyme. There was a small sound to indicate an error and the background of the picture changed color but since they are pastel, it was hard to notice. The bus drove off with the non- rhyming picture on board anyway. One idea would be for a non-rhyming picture to be "bounced" off the bus when chosen, have it return to the line up of pictures with a large red X on it to make it clear that the animal could not get on the bus since it didn't rhyme. An appropriate negative sound effect could go with it.
