I loaded this on an iPad2 (said it should work with iPad under requirements) and the sound does not work. I emailed support and have not heard back. Looks like a good app but is useless without the sound.

I have no problems with sound on my app. I have an iPad2 and have not yet upgraded to iOS6. It works great and I can even project it onto a whiteboard and show my students on class. I have used this app for teaching pre-K through 1st grade beginning Chinese language students. They really enjoy it and are learning at the same time! I would love more variety in colors, fruits, and sizes in the game...maybe include higher levels of difficulty in future updates.

Yes the sound doesn't work for mine either. I purchased it too. Utterly crazy. Why does Apple approve these apps?
