Reviewers comments

The app is relatively intuitive to use and once downloaded can be used without internet connectivity. Children (and adults) can increase their vocabulary on animals and countries and improve comprehension skills. This app encourages children to read, however, some younger children may need assistance with the more detailed sections of text.     

In App purchasing

Yes, extra sections of Kids Atlas can be purchased (see below) but when advertised within the app there are parent controls including entering a three digit code and iTunes password. Also, once downloaded the game can be played in full without internet connectivity, which means that the links to purchase the new sections do not work.
