Aidan was born in London 1963 and 6 months later he moved to Nigeria, followed by Bogota, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Tripoli, Libya and the Turks and Caicos. He studied History of Art at University College London, then began working as an illustrator for the British press. Among his books are “Uneversaurus” and “The Smash Smash Truck”.

Fascinating

Amazing artwork great stories

Fix Please

This is my third purchase of this app throughout the years as I have always considered this app to be a valuable tool for learning English idioms. However, as I repurchased this app again after so many years today, I noticed that various changes in the images have occurred since. These changes resemble themselves as the photos having been cut into slides as oppose to how they were within the previous versions where one could easily zoom in and out of the images, with the option to even save them! Therefore, I would like to ask as to whether you will be bringing that version of the app back anytime soon with an update?

Idioms

Opens up a treasure chest of gems of the English language.

Wow

Great way to learn English idioms

I think this is a really good way to help people learn the weird and wacky idioms in English. The illustrations are really well suited to this style of teaching as they are clear and memorable, well worth buying the full pack!

Educational and fun!

This app not only explains a wide variety of idioms but illustrates them in a beautiful way. Would recommend to anyone learning English or just curious to improve their vocabulary.

DON'T BUY FULL VERSION !!!

I bought full version long time ago. It costed me more than 10£ at that time. After the update I have to pay for full version again, there is NO OPTION to restore. I tried to contact with company but they totally ignored me. Right now I'm trying to solve this problem with help from apple support. Think twice guys, don't waste your money.

A great resource for language lovers

I always think it's the sign of a useful language resource when I notice I'm talking a lot about it in conversations. The idioms in this app are exactly that sort of resource. I now find myself explaining them to people all the time. We use these idioms so frequently without realising what we're saying. The cartoons make it really easy to remember the story behind the idioms too.

Brilliant!

This app is great for learning about the meaning and history of many frequently used idioms from the English language. The illustrations really help me remember the meanings of the idioms. Brilliant!

I have already paid;(

Had this app for years -- opened it and it is asking me to pay £4.99 and all the files have vanished that I have already payed for a few years ago. Love showing people the fun facts...now I have to pay again??? What is going on.. My be it is a "Rip off" .. Idiom joke.
