My 3 year old is having so much fun with this app and her Super Why friends! She has really taken off with her letter recognition lately so this is the perfect FUN and EDUCATIONAL game for her to play with. With the 4 different games, there's something she can easily do now (Pig's letter recognition game) and things for her to learn and grow into with the other three games (rhyming, letting writing and sentence completion). The 4 games use the different characters/skills so it doesn't get old and she can pick what she's in the mood for... or randomize through all of them to mix it up. Sticker book is great fun too! This has very quickly become the go to app on my phone. Can't go wrong with PBS!

My kids LOVE the Super Why show on PBS so I was thrilled to see this app available. I think it's a huge bargain because for $2.99, you get 4 unique games PLUS a sticker book area with tons of different scenes.

Each Super Why character has his/her own literacy game that fun to play and learn at the same time. My kids can't get enough of using their finger to work Princess Presto's magic wand and write letters with her. The game is smart enough to know when the kids write the letter in the correct stroke order!

Their other favorite is the Super Why Story Saver game, where they have to complete the sentence and make the fairy tale come alive. I love how if they pick the wrong word (like "Goldilocks slept in little bear's **truck**") it changes the picture to include the truck. We all crack up and sometimes my kids get silly and pick the wrong answers on purpose just to see how funny the wrong stuff is!

Each game they play, they unlock a sticker to use in the sticker area so when they just want to play, they have a bunch of cute scenes from the show that they can decorate.

This is a must-have for any Super Why fan. Fun and learning for your little ones! Makes me love PBS even more.

Screen has a wide bar through it about 2/3 of the way from the left margin with missing info that makes it impossible to use. Requested a refund but heard nothing back from amazon. Looks like a cute education game like pbs show. Too bad it doesnt work for me. Dont get if you have a droid x.

This app isn't optimized for tablets. All u get is a small window. But on my Galaxy S4g its freaking awesome. 5 star app until. it wouldn't work properly on our Dell Streak 7.

I may still see if the app is useful, but the broken scaling does take away from the interaction with the app. Please fix in a future, near term update!

My son loves the game, but it doesn't adjust properly on the screen. It's shows up in only a section of my Evo 3D phone. Please make an update!

The 20MB download others mention is now integrated in the appstore download which is nice. It indicates the developer does read and respond to user issues.

Unfortunately the game has not yet been updated for tablet compatibility. It runs and looks pretty good, but only in one quarter of the screen. When characters or screens move they move into that extra space. On a phone one would never see that.

The mouth movements are erratic, seemingly random as speech is played. It would look much nicer if it was more like the show.

I would say if this app interests you at all, ignoring these 1.0 issues, then grab it. PBS isn't ignoring the app, it will improve.

edit: 5 months later PBS makes a liar out of me. One star now and highly disappointed that not even a little of my donation money is going toward this.

great game for kids. no problem with the new download. works great on my droid 2. hope to see more from being creative and pbs.

It's good to see educational apps available for those times when you need to keep your little ones from having a freakout session in the back seat on longer trips. My daughter loves Super Why! and this app was free, so it works out great. Much like the TV program, this teaches letter identification, spelling, rhyming and even a little bit of writing. The one downside is that it takes up more memory than most games (20mb). Get it.

no sounds and the display is aweful on 10' tablets. I had to uninstall it. waste of my time. one star.
