Community Insight:
Well it is a good game but is is just a game and you right a not real note but thanks for the game thank you.
For some reason it will not give us sound on our iPad.
Okay so like we thought that this app was going to answer our wish of actually getting a reply on an email but it didn't we're not about that life. Also we almost had to pay $14 for a STYLUS A STYLUS YALL LIKE WHAT.
We are stuck on first level snowman it's impossible so make it better don't have the snow man part we would want to discover the rest but we can't.
This game is fun! And teaches kids the rewards of giving and helping others! Perfect for Xmas.
We usually dont like our kids playing games and apps too much, in this case, Im willing to make an exception. The Wish Writer isnt just a game, it actually teaches kids about the importance of giving and trying to help peoples wishes come true. Our only one complaint is that we cant seem to get a higher score than them on the snowman level. Lol.
The app is crashing constantly. Can't get past building a snowman because it keeps shutting down.
We find the app to be terrible. There are no instructions on what to do, no sound, nothing seems to work. We can't get anything but the snowman building game to work. We can't even figure out where you actually write your wish list… So far extremely disappointed.
