Quite the opposite
This app may have a ton of knowledge, but the interface is small and make the user jump around too much. It's distracting and takes away from exploring the app and its knowledge.

My eight year old loved this app. I could tell she was learning a lot even if she thought she was just playing games. The app is very interactive.

Very nice
It is well put together has a very nice interface, just wish there were more videos and pictures and more interaction. I think it's worth 1.99, not 4.99. But I like the information and what it does have. Should defiantly have a parental password to buy other apps not comfortable leaving kids alone with app. Overall very nice though.
