2 ★ I usually love their games but instructions were not clear with this one
1 ★ I really enjoyed the game on computer when in BrainPOP when I was younger, so naturally I was pretty ecstatic to see I could get it for FREE on my phone, but sadly evertime I try to open it it's just a black screen, so until that's fixed the review will unfortunately be a 1 star
1 ★ The game is not working on my phone. It shows only black screen.
1 ★ Learn to be a propagandist.
4 ★ Great way to learn how to vet resources. However it seems like theres just enough "game" to be considered a game. Developers, students would benefit from this game being longer, having more topics and variety of articles!
