Frustrating

I bought several of these educational apps. This one is so specific that students are having a hard time answering the questions correctly and so am I. It's very disheartening to get xxxxxxxxx so many x's in a row because the app is full of 'gotcha' answers. This was an expensive bundle to have so many glitches in it. My kids don't want to play this one at all now, because it makes them feel dumb. Pretty disappointing- try having an unfamiliar adult play it and see if they can get it in one go. If an adult can't a kid will struggle too- it's not a teaching moment if the questions and answers are inconsistent. Ugh.

Great app!

Great app. Really enjoy the feature of "unlocking" to get to the next level. It keeps the students motivated.
