This android app is basically the new coloring book. I would rather there be other deeper uses, however, kids do like to color. The one point of this app is the "share with parents" feature - I think the apps we use should all have share with parents and share with teachers and that on many of the apps, it should be seamless and just happen without our intervention.
Parents can set up their details like name, email and kids name which will bring them the screenshots of activities their kids complete within the app when pressing the ‘share with parent’ button.
