In their words

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my kids, thankfully it fits perfectly with my iPad Air. They love this game and have started learning the basics of loops. Two thumbs up!

verified purchase · lazada.sg

Children loved playing the games. Do note that u’ll need to get the new reflector if u’re using iPad 4 and above. The older version is usable albeit not fully secured to the iPad
