Papumba: Kids Learning Games 4+

My nephew and I really enjoy using this app! I like how their is a variety of different activities for kids to play with on this app, and my nephew has learned a lot of new things from using this app too! I would recommend this app for any parent that is trying to teach their child something new whether if it is for getting their child ready for school or for helping their child learn a new skill!!! 😁😎😀

Hello, Kenika! Thank you so much for your beautiful words ❤️. At Papumba we seek to create an educational platform that allows our little ones to learn in a fun way. We really hope your nephew keeps learnig with us! Thanks again for your review! Best wishes, Papumba Team.

This app is a really great app in terms of education. He has a great games that teach colors and numbers and even has really cool games that allow free play in different worlds. Though, there is one big glaring issue with this app that needs to be changed: lack of diversity. For instance, in one of the games that teaches about different careers, all of the characters of each career are white. Having a black child, it’s concerning to not see any other people of color, especially as my son is learning these careers. It would be nice to have a game that shows characters that are reflection of my son so that both he and other kids see themselves no matter their color, in the shoes of the characters that he’s learning about. In the year 2022, diversity is no longer a choice, it is a requirement. And if you make products that you want all children to use, it needs to reflect them all.

Hi Sande_543! First of all, thank you SO MUCH for your valuable feedback.
As a multicultural team formed by members and collaborators from more than 25 countries, we put our heart and soul into building great and diverse experiences for children.
While we aim to become the best partner in the world for parents and are delighted that we can point to millions of downloads from families all around the world, we know there is always room to improve. We kindly invite you to dig deeper in our app to enjoy games such as Practice Math Basics (to help Grandpa and Emma while cooking some delicious meals), Learn Jobs ABCs (to play with Emma as an Astronaut, or a Dentist, or a Football Player, among other jobs!), Deal With Frustration (to score some goals with Emma as a proficient striker), Discover Magnetic Properties (to help her in her science lab while checking the magnetic properties of objects) ... not in the mood of games? then we strongly suggest you to spent some quality screentime with your little one while discovering our Brave Stories podcast, where Emma gets in touch with tons of great people who made history such as Usain Bolt, Mae Jemison, Lidia Huayllas among others! Oh, and last but not least, please take a look around our recently premiered books library, where you will find beautifull stories to read with your child such as Here To There And Me To You, or Sandy Feet Whose Feet.
We really hope you can reconsider your 2-stars review and hopefully updating it to 4 stars, while we continue working in making our app better every day! THANKS again for your nice comments. Hugs from Papumba Team

Unfortunately, the AI stories are not very engaging or good for children. It’s clear that the human element is needed to create something fun while also ensuring it’s simple and interesting for young readers.

To clarify- when I say the human element is needed, I’m not just talking about the humans inputting into ai. Good story is not about an algorithm or a following patterns, like ai does. Story requires heart and understanding the human condition, which a computer can’t do (as is evident with the mediocre story it generates). If Papumba is willing to subject children to an inhuman and uncreative program (that anyone could access anywhere, frankly) just to save a few bucks so they don’t have to pay writers, then that’s pretty concerning. Give your children access at your own risk.

Hi Seth1231z, thanks for your review. As you correctly said, the family behind and the human factor is key to create the best and most original stories with Genius Tales, our brand new IA stories generator. We love mankind ;) Thanks for your feedback!
