Comments about NewsFeed Defenders Android Version

Excellent educational game! People should really work more about internet literacy; finally somebody does it. Simple graphics, doesn't lag, and yoj learn few things you thought you knew.
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
A fun little game. Took me about 60mins to finish one playthrough. And it's free! I can't complain! (Though if I did have to complain about one thing: i feel like on my Samsung S7 the text is a tiny little bit small, would've loved to be able to scale that)
