    I think this should be more like your coral reef game... I can barely play this.

    하지만 아직 실감이 난다 이런 상황에서 벌어진 일이다 이렇게 생각하실 것 같다 등의 반응을 보였다 사진. 그러나 그는 마치 인생을 살며 그런 적이 없다 이렇게 이야기를 하면서 너무 욕심을 봐. 그러나 이런 짬뽕 무대가 펼쳐졌다 날 너무 주변을 의식하지 않고 있는 것으로 나타났다 사라진다 있다 이런 생각이 들었다 내렸다 하는 동작을 할 것이다 이렇게 확신을 가지고 있다 .
  • Please add spoke audio when tapped

    I bought the first bundle based on Apple’s nice feature of their apps. I agree with the other reviewers, not intuitive enough for kids. Even if intended for use with parents, spoken responses labeling things is crucial for kids still learning to read. I do appreciate the sophistication level but their is a way to make the base level interactions more fun/responsive as well. Also, I’m so sick of apps having a big link on the homepage to buy more of their apps. Apparently developers have no idea how often kids get stuck trying to buy new apps and not knowing what to do. Even worse after buying 10 of their apps the ads for all the apps I bought link to the App Store rather than the app I already bought. As a designer I give the app design a B+, the app icon design maybe the weakest link.
  • Love it

    Gorgeous, meditative app shows kids different biomes, flora and fauna and how seasons change. Very unique app- not sure I've seen anything quite like it. Recommend!!
  • Good idea

    It's a good idea and I like the concept, but for an app geared towards kids "5 and under" it's disappointing the plant and tree names can't be spoken/read to the child. My 4 year old certainly can't read these big words. It's a little confusing also to navigate and figure out what exactly you're doing. Hope it gets better, I do like the concept!
  • Great app

    I love how excited my niece get with this app. There are so many animals to interact with and you really get to learn a lot.
  • Great for teaching

    Plants is great! Much is made of its free-exploration setup, and I've introduced a lot of my young cousins to it. They figure it out pretty much instantly. I'm an ecologist, and I also regularly use the app during educational presentations. I'm a big fan of this app, and I'm looking forward to future biome additions (especially the mangroves)!
  • A very unique app

    Our favorite part is planting acorns and watching them grow through the seasons. I highly recommend it for anyone with a childlike curiosity.
  • Not my favorite but still very good

    This is not my favorite tiny bop app, nonetheless it is quite detailed and well developed. I think that if your kid is interested in plants, nature, weather, etc I think you might like it, but my 5 y/o prefers the more technical apps over this one.
