8 of 15Anyone?
it’s actually 5 stars
Are you laughing so hard about it? I am. I knew this would work with someone in charge like Fat Tom. Catch you later.
It is so fun 🤩 and I love it 🥰 when you make your own story OMG SO FUN!🤩
Both apps was amazing 🤩
My daughter loves making the mad lib style story with the pigeon, but there’s only one story line. I wish there were a few to cycle through. For a paid app I thought there would be more.
I would give 10 stars if I could. Both my 6-years-old boys love it. One of them is on the spectrum and I’ve never seen him so engaged with one app for so long. Unfortunately they can play it only on my phone since Android (for their kid tablets) is not available. This app is wonderful and I wish the developers keep updating it for the future. Thank you!
This app looks cute and the drawing part is fun. But there seems to be a glitch because on the stories you have to shake the pigeon to start, but he won’t stop and the story never loads. This is unacceptable for a paid app. Plus it’s a little disturbing to listen to, especially for little kids.
