Taking the rating down because I tried to do the special fairytale epic, and accidentally forgot to switch the invite back to private before launching, and I’m a little mad that since the epic takes so long to finish (not something that I could control) that we didn’t end up getting the blueprint for the fairytale planet. If you’re going to do specials like this, you should at least let the people that started it on time get the reward. You know...given that the particular epic you had us do takes an excessive amount of resources and energy 😡

The only reasons I'm giving 3 stars are basically the same reasons everyone else has given. Please, please make it to where I can sync my Fitbit to accurately record my steps/activity as I (like most people) don't always carry my phone everywhere with me! The second reason is that I do think it takes far too long to get to new planets, which, in turn makes it harder to find resources to do missions that are required to get into the higher level Epic adventures.

While this app is cute and exploring new planets is fun, I have some concerns about it. One is that it is supposed to promote exercise but doesn’t. No exercise is really needed for the app to work. My kids use it while sitting. It doesn’t count walking steps accurately and the steps produce energy that can be a boost in the game but are not essential. Also, it would be nice for it to log steps from using a treadmill but does not.

More concerning are the ads. They started off innocently with some ads for games and shopping stores but have begun to deteriorate alarmingly. First there was a fashion app ad that starts off with models without clothes though only vague body parts shown. Now there is an ad for a dating service that is VERY suggestive of intimate relations with scantily clad figures. Is this move toward pornographic ads an attempt to force a purchase of the no adds option? None of our other apps have shown these types of ads. Major concern is these are NOT appropriate ads for children!

It is very cute and nicely done, though at first it is a bit confusing and overwhelming since it keeps directing you left and right constantly for the first few minutes. Though the most confusing part for me was that it doesn’t seem to count your steps nor does it mention how it tracks your activity and as such I haven’t been able to gain any energy and have nearly none due to it pressing me to use it to speed stuff up at the beginning. It also is a bit over reactive when trying to swipe from one planet to the next and can be confusing in that to exit the menu so as to return to the main screen you have to press on the void border rather than a simple exit button in a corner. Otherwise the graphics are cute and once it slows down it begins to be easier to understand.

Being a program design student, I’m currently going through user interface design, and found it rather unintuitive but too instruction heavy.
