    If you have kids under 4, if you will have kids, if your friends have kids or will have kids - get this app / tell them to get this app.
    Easily lasts from reception (4years) through to end of key stage 1 (~8years).

    Fantastic app which helps children to learn through play.

    My daughter is 4 and has been using it since around 2 years old. Not sure how much this app contributed to her reading and language skills, but she's reading stuff way ahead of her years. I do think some of that is down to this app. She loves it.

    She doesn't get much time on our phone, because... yeah square eyes But when she asks for this, we're more than happy. She loves learning and reading. Also... veg? Can't complain, ha (edited)

    Great game, but I hate how Play Store now forces ads to look like to top result, you now have to go down and click into a new page to get the app you actually searched for.
