CTR Review

A subscription-supported collection of 50 activities plus a large collection of videos featuring Dr. Panda and his friends. Activities are responsive and well designed, but more academic than traditional Dr. Panda games that you might know and love. In addition, Dr. Panda talks in a clear English accent (all the Dr. Panda games were made in China). If you download the free trial, you frequently encounter locked content with prompts to get your parents in order to unlock the rest of the app. Covers early reading, the ability to trace 40 English words. The monthly subscription is $4/month or $30/year. Is it worth it? We'd suggest getting the paid versions of the Dr. Panda apps instead. An Internet connection is required
