Ratings and reviews

Don't get tricked. This app will not remind when your free trial is coming to an end like it says it will. All the text in the game has to be read and I couldn't find an option for making it audible. This made it incredibly difficult for my child to fully figure out all directions or follow the little storylines on his own. He ended up only playing around with it 1 or 2 times and then never went back, so I completely forgot about it and was never sent a reminder to cancel. Very disappointing.

Wish there was a free version. Immediately hit with a paywall. I will NOT give my credit card and sign up for a 'free trial ' for ANYTHING! So I have to uninstall this app. Thanks for getting my kids' hopes up.

Constant glitches and freezing My daughter loved it so much. Every year for 3 years, she asked me to renew her subscription. THIS year, I took advantage of the lifetime subscription New Year's Sale for the price of one year's membership and she has NOT been able to make a complete story in one sitting because of the CONTINUED glitches and freezing. I guess because I can't cancel?
