I purchased this app for my grandchildren of many but because it's not part of the Family Library I can't share the app with none of them. So I've wasted my money on an app that my grandchildren can't even download for I'm the one who purchased it. If it was part of the Family Library they could download it and then use it for themselves. It's a great app for teaching children to tell time quickly and very efficiently. I do understand the fee. I don't understand not sharing. Granny fee is needed

Hi, thanks for your feedback! Telling Time Academy is completely ad-free and our developers worked hard to ensure the the quality of the app over time. We hope that it is worth the investment for your child. We hope you understand why we need to charge a nominal fee. Regards, 123 Kids Academy Support Team

I want to clear up what almost stopped me from buying the game. Everyone who is currently complaining about the game losing the purchase - THIS HAS BEEN FIXED! My son (3) loves this games! I played the puzzle game with him and after about 20 minutes he knew where every hour goes on a clock. The paid version of the game has great value, but don't be a lazy parent, sit with your kids and help them learn!! Make a big deal about small wins, mess around with them when they do good. don't rush!

My little boy loves this app. However, he is beyond knowing the time to the hour, he's stuck on level 1 which is very repetitive. Is he going to automatically go up a level eventually or will I have to pay? If I have to pay £7.99 for him to go to the next level I'm uninstalling.
