Enjoyed this lots, but now won't open on my hudl.... What's happened?? Thanks
Must add spoken instructions and help / feedback in order to cater to target audience.
My dad has and he looks inside
The app crashed every time since your last update, what happened? I can not even read the initial instructions.
user experience is not adapted to claimed age group, only puzzles are easier. robot moves too fast to relate actions to commands. none of the languages listed on the website are available, english only
Except maybe overloading which doesn't seem clear to my kid, it is a great app.
