2.0 out of 5 stars Made my daughter cry, November 9, 2005

I bought this Password Journal 4 for my eight year old daughter. She was very excited, and I thought it was a good idea because it would encourage her to write.

Problem 1) It was very difficult for her to program because you have to speak clearly, and slowly. That was very fustrating for her. Finally working with her, and showing her how to do it, we got it to accept all her "Secret Codes".

Problem 2) You can't whisper to it, so it didn't take long for her brother to hear her, and learn her secret code.

Problem 3) Even though it was so fickle about the way she spoke the secret code, it wasn't fickle at all about who entered it. Her brother's voice worked just as well to open it, and it turned out my deeper voice openned it too. I could say a word that was close to the original and it would open.

My daughter tried using it by hiding it in her room, but she quickly lost interest in it, and now it's on the bottom of her toy box.

We bought this for our daughter last Christmas, and it was the worst toy we've ever given her. She recorded her pasword dozens and dozens of times, it NEVER would open. We just kept resetting the password, stii the same problem. She ended up using the voice button from her barbie walkie-talkie, and even then, it would only open some of the time. She got SO mad, frustrated, and upset. I felt horrible that I gave her such a crappy toy that upset her like that. It, like many others I'm sure, is living at the bottem of her cavernous toy box, never to be seen (or heard from!) again. Don't waste your money unless you enjoy that look of desperate frustration on your childs face

1.0 out of 5 stars A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!, December 5, 2005

My daughter begged for this toy for her 8th birthday, and is completely frustrated and let down. We have not been able to get it to open without resetting it because it will not recognize her simple one word password. We haven't been able to set the time, date, or alarm because it doesn't seem to be able to focus. It's been educational, in the way that it teaches her not to believe the stuff she sees in a commercial. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
