The kids like using the app with Grandparents even though when they use it between the app on an iPad to the grandparent’s computer the coloring or circling of items didn’t show up correctly on both platforms. This afternoon my daughter used it with a friend who is on quarantine from school. It was great for the first 20-30 min but then the calls kept dropping (four times)and they ended up frustrated so they just ended the call. This also happened when we were using the free version so we thought the free version may have had a time limit, but now we have the paid version and the same thing happened. So now I don’t have an explanation. Love the concept but so far with the glitches we aren’t sure if we will continue paying for the app.

Nice idea but the cons make me think I will be canceling our subscription after the month. Our 6 year old loves tic tac toe and the scavenger hunts. That being said....here are the negatives which make me happy I didn’t sign up for a whole year: 1. While trying it for free things moved fine but now that I’ve paid for a month there’s a significant lag between selecting something and getting it to open. 2. There’s no way to remove my picture. Since the pictures take up space, often needing to be moved so I can read the story, I would like the option of not seeing myself. It seems this should have been addressed long before now. 3. Some of the stories are too long, too detailed, or contain some content we would not want to explore while reading a story from a distance so we try and prescreen the stories and put them in our favorites. The kids can’t see those favorites on their screen however. It would be nice if we could just pull that screen up so they could choose what book they want to hear.

The idea of this app is fantastic, however the execution is rather shaky. The app crashes and lags all the time, even if I’m just exploring the app by myself. Also sometimes the app does not sync correctly between both parties, my screen showed a completely different coloring page than what the other party had on their screen. Lastly, when I finish a book/coloring page and back out of it, I notice I am brought back to the start page. I wish I was brought back to the exact position I was at before I clicked on the coloring page/book because I have to re-scroll to get to where I was. I found this especially irksome as I was exploring the app and was clicking on stories to ‘heart’ them and when backing out, I was brought back to the start page and instead of where I left off and had to keep re-scrolling through everything to get back to where I was. I hope the developers will be able to fix these hiccups to reach the potential I know this app has. Stay safe everyone!
