Customer Reviews
Excited for more.
My 9 year old daughter and I listened to this together and enjoyed it. Jane does a good job giving her perspective. Looking forward to more.
Great, concise, and full of relevant information!
Jane is very articulate! I love her well-crafted descriptions of the games, and her wonderful child's perspective. This Podcast is a such a help for parents looking for good apps for their kids - it's not easy searching the App store, especially when you aren't looking for a particular game, but just an interesting game. I also enjoy how the review is right to the point, and not too long, but it still gives you a good idea whether or not you'd be interested in looking into getting the app.
Great
Jane has a great kid pespective(sorry for grammar)on the games she talks really formally which is Great most kids would lose control or show off on podcast plus this podcast is the best way to find apps for me and my kids to play
