## Review summary

Users praise the app for strong, multi-level AI and its learning-focused design with a clean UI and no ads. It’s valued as a great practice tool with undo/replay features.

- Crashes/freezes are common, including post-purchase crashes and Game Center related freezes.
- In-app support is hard to reach; cannot email support through the app.
