Research on this App
In one study, researchers observed how children used the app and gathered feedback from the users. They were asked questions around the vocabulary the app uses, whether the app is enjoyable and fun, whether the introduction of cognitive triangle disturbs the fun of playing the app and so on. Researchers and developers used this feedback to help inform design and content changes for the app. (Assigana, E., Chang, E., Cho, S., Kotecha, V., Liu, B., Turner, H., … & Stevens, S.
