This started off really well however the game had a few glitches within 20min of play. It would tell you to choose a word but not tell you the word and the timer never restarted (the reacter). We selected the highest level with game that jumps the charter over a building and all the choices spelled out "tomorro" without the w. Other than that the music volume is very distracting but my son didn't seem to mind. If these things wouldn't have happen this game would have been an awesome tool for learning.

It worked great except for one game (same tomorro issues mentioned from previous reviewers). One day, however, it stopped working entirely. Every game would open, play music, and that's it. Too bad...the games were fun for my boys.

Worked well. My son loved it. But now it had the same "word"- "tomoro" repeated and does not match the spoken word. Too bad it was a good concept.

I love the game however it needs a volume control to turn down the background music. It's hard to hear the words with the music so loud.

I love the concept however the game dose not work in some areas. Needs more work, this could be a very awesome game if it actually worked! So disappointed!

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it just shows the title page and never opens the game. Looks cute. I wish it worked:(
