Hi! My daughter absolutely loves this app. She's had it since she was just 17m or so. It wasn't long before she began to ask for everything on it! While this game is definitely worth any of the subscription levels and is always updating new material--I'm giving it a 3 for the lack of easy tech support. I've tried everything to transfer my child's subscription, with the same email, to this tablet we bought her for her educational apps and I can't get it to transfer. If you could help! Please!

1/2020: Increased rating back to 4 stars. I didn't have time to send an email with account information that I couldn't find, as developer requested, however the app is now working properly. Push notifications to "start a free trial" when we already have a paid subscription keep me from giving it 5 stars. Honestly I'd give it 4.9 though if I could-my son is learning shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and words. At 3 years old, he is really loving this app, and the graphics are seriously beautiful.

My son really loves the My Very Hungry Caterpillar app so I downloaded this app on my tablet to see if he would like it. I forgot to cancel before the trial was up, which was my mistake, but it's very expensive for what it is. I wish I had remembered to cancel before the $59 was charged. Now not only did I unintentionally pay for it, but there isn't a way to transfer between platforms so I can't put it on his tablet. Update: emailed and confirmed that the app *doesnt* transfer between platforms
