Parents Beware! Beautiful App, But in app purchases are NOT kid proof. – Little Fox Nursery Rhymes Review

This app is visually stunning, and my 3 year old son loves it. BUT, in order to avoid him easily making in-app purchases, I have to supervise the entire time he uses it. The large, brightly colored, button on the title screen (Linking to other Fox & Sheep app purchases) is begging to be touched by kids. Touch the button and you are shown pictures of other apps. if you touch an app (attempting to purchase) you are prompted to “Swipe down with one finger to continue. This is hands down the weakest child lock i have seen. My toddler instinctively swiped down with one finger (as most toddlers do) and was taken right to the app purchase screen. He purchased an app for $2.99 before I noticed what he was doing. For some reason, dis-allowing in-app purchases did nothing for this particular app. I dis-allowed the purchases, allowed my son to use the app again, and I am now the proud owner of a second $2.99 app. The purchased apps are also, predictably, beautiful and well done, but they all contain the same large buttons and, way too easy to access, in-app purchases. If the company added a parental control option, allowing me to remove the promo button from the title screen, I would give the app a 5 star review.
