My little girl is nearly 4 and she has been enjoying playing this and can follow the instructions with a little help from me. There’s a great learning element to it which I love. The figures are easy for her to hold and manipulate and it’s very straightforward to follow! I really recommend this! Review: Perfect for my 6 year old - My daughter loves this product! Great introduction to the coding world and most importantly fun too, would 100% recommend it ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years. For use under adult supervision - TACTO CODING by PlayShifu helps early learners THINK code with exciting gameplay and bite-sized sequences. Did you know, it has been designed and created by coder parents?! Tacto makes coding fun and easy through interactions with VISUAL elements, NOT blocks of code. Kids drive the games on screen using real figurines, hands-on play that turns the tablet into a coding adventure! - Unlike many coding kits, Tacto Coding focuses on a LOT MORE than just direction-based coding. It incorporates the fundamental concepts of coding – inputs-output, loops, sequencing, decomposition, and branching. But, with engaging and age-specific storytelling! - FOR AGES 4-10, there are 3 different games with 200+ CHALLENGES that become increasingly difficult as you play through them. A child could play and learn from it for a much longer period progressing to advanced levels than other kits that tend to cater to a smaller age bracket. - The BOX contains 2 frames and 5 figurines (draw, rotate, slide, and 2 function figurines). Attach the 2 frames on the sides of your tablet and place the figurines in their slots. Pick a game and begin your coding journey - spread happiness with Mr. Buffy or go on a treasure hunt with Moka-Ika! - COMPATIBLE DEVICES: Tacto works with a range of tablets: iPads 5 and above (iPad 2 and iPad Mini 1 not supported) Android tabs 7-inches and above, minimum 2GB RAM (Samsung Tab A not supported), Fire HD 8 - 2020, Fire HD 10 - 2021(Fire 7 not supported).

Unfortunately, Samsung Tab A (all models) aren't compatible with the Tacto app as the tablet screen's pixel density (PPI) limits the best experience we would like for our users.

I have the same problem. It also doesn't work on a lenovo yoga tablet (about 4 years old) I'm finding more apps are designed purely for android devices. I am looking into a new tablet **Q: Does this work with Fire HD 10 11th generation?
