Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Clickstart My First Computer PinkCustomer Review: Very Disappointing and Insulting Summary: 1 Stars
My wife and I bought the Leapfrog Clickstart and a few cartridges for our daughter based on past experience with other Leapfrog products. Previous experience with DVDs and other items has been great, however the Clickstart is a huge disappointment. First of all, after connecting it to the TV, we tried to enter her name and it refused to accept it. Her name is not unsual at all but for some reason I just would not work. I could enter unintelligible gibberish and it would accept that just fine. Then the mouse proved very difficult to manuever. It is very erratic, like someone with very nervous hands is using it. Next one of the cartridges would not work. After reinserting it several times, I finally got it to work. All the batteries are fresh, by the way.
To sum it up, Leapfrog really screwed up with the Clickstart. It could have been a great learning device, but now my daughter won't even use it because of the level of frustration. I doubt that we will ever buy Leapfrog products again. Be forewarned to stay away from the Clickstart and its cartridges.
