How did the idea for your app come about?
Well, usually it pops out like magic, we always get the inspiration from things around us.
Some of our ideas are from toddlers, teachers and parents. We usually ask them questions such as what the best way to make children keep learning and still have some fun is and what they really want for their kids. Thus, we are able to get their suggestions.
And how long was the process from the original idea to the release of the app?
It depends, sometimes it takes months, but sometimes it might spend a year. Mostly it’ll be about four months.
Did you hire a developer or do it yourself?
We did the whole process by ourselves.
What has been the hardest obstacle you have had to overcome in the development process?
The hardest thing has been to keep the game fun but still can make children learn many things.
Have you had much support during the development process (from family, peers, Apple Inc.)?
Of course from our whole team and our family.
