I love this for my daughter so much just would change 2 things It would be nice to make it so she can go back and repeat levels because sometimes I'll catch her guessing through it and it advances her farther than she should. And the other is I downloaded this on my phone and then the next week I got my daughter a phone to put these kinds of games on and now I wish I could transfer it over without buying it again.

Love the idea of this game/app however I have 2 big complaints. (Issue 1.) I keep changing my child's level back to 1, yet after a few minutes of playing the game automatically resets back into level 2 where she left off and is too difficult. Reset over 5 times and now I've given up. (Issue 2.) There isn't a "repeat" button. My child doesn't catch the directions perfectly every time and there isn't a button to have it repeat what it wants her to do so she ends up guessing or asking for help on EVERY SINGLE ACTIVITY.

Hi there, thanks for the review. We're pleased you like the game and we're sorry that you've had a couple of issues. First, we'll review the idea of a repeat feature. Second, if you could email us a video of the issue of resetting to the previous level, that would help our investigations of this issue. Thanks, Alex

Exceptional app!! My son is on the spectrum and is mostly nonverbal. He loves this. He repeats the sounds, is able to associate the letters to the sounds. Has a little difficulty on getting the ducks in the lake (using a mouse on Android box). He almost has the order of letters to drop on the spaceship board. Repetition and a little help work great. Very pleased with his improvement over a short time. Impressed that backing out of the app doesn't lose progress. He gets extremely excited playing.
