For as beautifully done as this application is - you can NOT use it 1) use it on a device with parental controls such as Family Link or Family App Libraries and 2) across multiple children's devices that each have an account that has parental controls. For such a beautifully done app that is marketed for children and families, it is absolutely egregious that this app cannot be used on a device with commonly used parental controls that keep children safe. We are absolutely cancelling.

My son really loves the My Very Hungry Caterpillar app so I downloaded this app on my tablet to see if he would like it. I forgot to cancel before the trial was up, which was my mistake, but it's very expensive for what it is. I wish I had remembered to cancel before the $59 was charged. Now not only did I unintentionally pay for it, but there isn't a way to transfer between platforms so I can't put it on his tablet. Update: emailed and confirmed that the app *doesnt* transfer between platforms

This two yr old loves it. It has a lot of great learning content and with pass, it's all open. There are simple, sweet sounding songs that littles can actually sing along with. Letters and their sounds. Numbers and quantity. Size comparison. Pattern recognition. There's a lot! You won't feel guilty letting your child use this app, there's so much they learn while using it.
