Customer Reviews
Great! With some reservatioons
The graphics and the animations are absolutely special. Love it.
My complaint: when i use the option that shows the numbers, some of the cute animation is gone.
When the developer fixes this, my 4 stars will turn into 5.
I highly recommend it. Kids just love it.
