Overall this app is extremely intuitive and very child friendly. Children are able to get started right away from the main page by touching the play button. If instructions are needed they can simply touch Zip the alien and he will gladly explain how the app is used. There are no advertisements or links within the app that would lead users outside of the app itself and with the simple interface it is unlikely users will get stuck at any point within the app.
