So starting with, this is a really nice game! AWSOME FOR LITTLE ONES. Anyways I’ve had this since I got my iPad. It was like, the first pbs kids game I’ve had. BUT the characters. Their getting pretty boring. There hasn’t been an update for characters in over 2 years. This is the characters I recommend. 1. In wordgirl, my favorite show. Can you add her hugging huggy? Or maybe fighting doctor two brains? 2. In Daniel tiger can you add max for your autism video? And Daniel tiger mad and kicking blocks and last but not least, can you add Rosie from rosies rules? And almas way? And jelly Ben and pogo? I’m just asking to upload all the new shows! And anyways remember you can record yourself talking in the microphone? Mine doesn’t either show up, or work. I LOVEEEE the microphone. So pls fix this bug or I’m gonna have to change this review into a 1 or 2. Sincerely, {The Roblox Squad}

So my issue is that… There isn’t enough commands on the dang thing! If you change that or add it in an update i will be BLESSED!!! Please make this change. Anyway really great app! 4 stars because of the thing above but awesome app! G’day to you!
