Ratings and reviews

I downloaded this like 5 seconds ago and I already have a complaint. I can't even make it past the loading screen. And why isn't this advertised as something you have to pay for, with the price next to it, like every other company that doesn't wish to trick its consumers? Because, it's NOT FREE. Tons of negitive comments, but I just wanted to try for myself. Cool idea, horribly executed. Should be free. Not even worth the download and delete. NO STARS!

Love the app and how easy it is to use and navigate. The only problem I come across at least 1 time every time I use the app is that something always freezes and I have to close out completely and choose a different game or activity. The app will just stay stuck on loading and nothing ever loads. Maybe in the next update they can fix that issue.

There needs to be a confirmation prompt when hitting the back arrow in the upper left hand corner during a lesson. My son constantly bumps it unintentionally in the middle of a lesson and it goes back to the map losing his progress and making him start over. Not worth the money. At least if no prompt then save the spot in the lesson instead of forcing the user to restart the entire thing.
