Most of the freebies friends featured only have one story linked to them. A few have a couple of stories and links to their features on the other freebies apps. Overall brilliant but would love to see some more stories

This game is awesome she can read stories because it's today it was the afternoon and programs start at 6:00 a.m. was coming on soon, so she could still read stuff which still helps when she gets angry at the 6:00 a.m. thingy

Reply to BBC below update still giving child YouTube access. New account button allowed him to access YouTube material that gets him wound up. I signed him in he changes to me despite parental lock. Then selects use different BBC account. Hits More help to sign in then hits BBC Sounds via icon on page. Hits install app on prompt accesses a play store page which accessed YouTube trailers. Then he finds material like logo reels that overstimulate & upset him. Took him 20 mins after game returned
