Great find! Another great toy for phones is Zoodles. My daughter has been using it since she was 1. Now she’s a phone pro at the age of 3.

Doesn’t work on my rooted Kindle Fire. (Installs, but it’s confined to a small window and glitchy)

Amazing! Some of the apps you have introduced not only are nice for the kids to play with, some of them are quite addictive to adults too! Cheers!

I will not install this on my Android phone. Nice that it’s free, but there’s no reason a game should need access to “Read Browser History and Bookmarks, Read Contact Data, Write Browser History And bookmarks” along with “Full Internet Access”. I understand the purpose for using internet access for ads, but that access, combined with the ability to read/write my browser history and bookmarks, and read my contact data mean that I definitely won’t even be considering this app.
