Real difficult to set up. We had to download the new version of the software (twice) and reference some forums to set it up. Not easy. She does love it now that it's set up, but still not as easy as it could have been. We got one for our daughter. Real difficult to set up.

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna destroy my kid's eyes with a PC screen - she'll get enough computer time working a boring job in her future corporate career, like the vast majority of us. oh no… not another ‘computer linked-buy more stuff from us’ toy.
