New Bubble Bath Feature: Create your own Lessons
Of all of the apps we have, I am probably the most proud of the Bubble Bath language games. I spent so long learning Chinese Mandarin back in the day, that I knew there had to be a better way than flashcards to assist in character recognition. We released Mandarin Bubble bath at the beginning of …
