Ratings and Reviews
Nees to fix the bugs but entertaining for kids
This app is entertaining for kids and helps them getting excited to brush their teeth. However, app is poorly designed. As a parent, I can’t even entrr my email address to see their daily progress reports. Everytime I try to enter the keyboard blocks where I would type and I don’t see if I’m typing correctly. When I want to delete letters, it keeps ADDING the “suggested words instead. Similar things happen when you want to enter the name of your child or their birthday. You need to swipe off the app and then get back to it if you did it right. And lots of other small bugs that need fixing. However, it deserves some praise since my 4 year old has brushed her own teeth excitedly for 2 minutes!!! Brushing teeth is always a hassle with her and with this app I didn’t have to yell at her at all.
Works too well...starts fights.
This app works well for getting you kid to want to brush their teeth. The song will burrow into your head and you won't soon forget it. Which side you are suppose to be brushing is a bit confusing, but after some time it all makes sense.
The problem, and the reason I took away a star, is that it works too well. My two children fight over the game while one of them is brushing. It has wreaked havoc in our house and started many fights, both while brushing and choosing prizes. To the developer's credit, there are multiple child profiles, which help, but still does not solve the core problem that the game is only designed for one child at a time. I could only imagine the pain if you had more than two kids.
All in all it works, but is best suited for only children.
My 3 kids now LOVE to brush their teeth!
I have 3 children- 4, 8, 11. I’m not a big advocate for young children using technology on a more than occasional basis and especially not close to bedtime but I will tell you that I LOVE this app. It’s not perfect...but my kids love brushing their teeth now so 500 stars and I like that I can customize a profile for each child. Not the best technique and it always says its bedtime but that’s so minimal when it really gets them brushing HAPPILY for at least 2 minutes and they can’t wait to brush their teeth. They actually fight over it so we have them take turns to brush on their own so they can concentrate and then they all get together for the game and prizes part. This app foster a great habit and it’s especially effective because enjoy it so much!
