I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
by Sheena B. on September 7, 2026
The simulations are cool, but some of them the narration voice goes completely out so you can't hear and don't know what you're supposed to do next, and when the narration voice is working the steps are still really vague. I got stuck on two of the simulations forever, because I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, or what I was supposed to do next to move on!! So frustrating, I wanted to scream!! Did not love this, but thank goodness it's done now!
