The survey was attended by a total of 12 students. The evaluation questionnaires were filled out with the help of their teachers by the participating children.The findings stated that the mobile application was adopted by the kids; however, some problems had to pay attention in order to enhance the children's user experience.Special exercises should be found for children aged one or two years because current exercises are difficult for these ages. Competition task is not an simple task, particularly for kids aged 3 to 4 years. Children between the ages of 5 and 6 need more time to complete the tasks, for these ages three minutes are not enough
