I love a bunch of things about the Godpod! It is self contained, has all the material loaded in the unit. Uses no internet! Can be solar powered! No EMF's! No screen or blue light!!!! The absence of a screen was initially a concern for me, but it has plenty of buttons that are easy to learn. The learning curve is steep, but short, and I do not hesitate to scroll back to the "intro" to share its features (I do have to remember where I was) it has so many! Safe for kids, safe for me from screens, EMF's and blue light, I love it. And it plays louder than my phone! I think it is a no brainer. Kids can be engaged and figure it out without the screen. healthy challenge
