Review: Super easy to set up and a fun way to learn - The plugo letter set was super quick and easy to set up. My 4 year old loves that the app is interactive and talks to him as he learns to spell out word - he spent ages flicking through each of the games and uses it often. Definitely a fantastic learning through play tool.
Review: Amazing! - Really impressed with this game. Love that it works with most tablets and your mobile phone. Really good for interactive learning and keeps my six year old stimulated and engaged.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I see it supports us english but does it support uk english? not much point in teaching my son to spell it color instead of colour? 🤣**
A: No, it does not

**Q: I have a samsung tab a7 32gb but the app says it is not compatible and android store won't let me download the app - why is this?**
A: Hi Gordon, 

Plugo requires the secondary camera (front/selfie) of the device to be in a specific position bracket for the games to work. Samsung Tab A7’s secondary camera doesn't fit into the specified bracket for Plugo.

However, we have solved this with our latest Plugo app update. Kindly send us an Email to Reachout[at]playshifu.com if you would like to try the latest Plugo app with your Samsung Tab A7.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!

Really impressed with this game. Love that it works with most tablets and your mobile phone. Really good for interactive learning and keeps my six year old stimulated and engaged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn and have fun
*by P***E on 25 January 2022*

It was easy to assemble, and great fun for the kids. Bought this for our 7year old as a birthday gift and it did not disappoint. Even our 2 year old can follow the instructions. The games are clear and easy. One thing we dislike was the app was slow and most of the time crashes. But the equipment itself was great, you can use it even without the tablet or game pad, just use it with your child. Absolutely amazing.
