Leave a Review First Words Deluxe
My 16 month old daughter loves this app!
She started with playing the free version on our iPhone right after she turned one. Got her an iPad so she can play with this app without having to borrow our iPhones. Now at 16 months, she can complete 8 letter words! I think she's starting to recognize letters because of this app! I recommend this to anyone who have kids in preschool!Show lessPinkette
18 month old loves it
I didn't think my eighteen month old son would be able to use this app, but after I showed him how a couple times he now slides the letters into the slots easily on his own. This seems useful for honing his fine motor skills, as well as exposing him to letters and first words.
I initially wanted to find an app where he could simply slide things around and get used to using the iPad, but this is so much better. My only minor complaint is that the animations are basically all the same and could be more interesting. All in all, a wonderful learning app for toddlers.Show lessMariah Sweet
Great First iPad App for Toddlers
My 3yr old son loves this game and it was his first. Having never used the iPad before, you just set it down in front of him and he immediately figured out the dragging action and now he loves to spell words, then say them after the full word is placed. He has learned many, many new words from this app, including all of the shapes. Its a beautiful app with a nice snapping action and sound when you get the correct letter near the correct space. Part matching game (lining up the letters) and part word-teaching game, its great for special needs kids (my guy has autism).
Tried the free version and there are maybe 10 words and he loved it so I just went straight to the "Deluxe" version instead of buying all the individual ones. Upon startup, it lets you pick from all the individual categories (vehicles, animals, at home, colors, or shapes) or ALL WORDS. Great deal for all those words! My autistic son will literally play this for 2-3 hours! We of course have to stop him most of the time but for long waits like plane or car rides, its great to have this tool. Only problem is that I can no longer use my iPad for if he sees it, he immediately wants to play! Good problem to have though...Show lessowe-me
one of my 2 year-old's favorite
Worth the money. We started out using the free version and bought this one several months ago because our child had memorized all the words by 18 months. It's great how it says the letters and that they only have to get the letter close enough before it pops into place. She's tried playing similar type puzzle games but can't do them without help because you have to line up the pieces exactly in the space before they stay. This one is perfect for a toddler's fine motor abilities. I know it has helped her letter recognition ability. I wish I had had this game for some of my students when I taught first grade.Show lessWright Jiating
Wow. Well done with new update for iPad
Was bummed when I bought this and realized it was iphone pixelated on my iPad but with the update tonight this thing is SHARP! Truth is, my son already loved it. Now he'll just love it more. This flat out teaches my kid to learn letters and words. He's 2 hrs 3 mtgs and can turn on my iPad and navigate to this game/app. Well done!Show lessandytraub
Not optimized for iPad
Love the game but disappointed that it's a small screen optimized for iPhone and looks somewhat fuzzy in iPad 2x view mode.
Also, can we please use more common words for common animals/objects? My 2 yr old has a problem every time Mule comes up for the animal he knows as a donkey. Same thing when he encounters a ferry instead of a boat, a semi instead of a truck, etc.Show lessSeema33
My 2 year old really likes it
This app finally got her off that monkey game which didn't teach her anything.
I took off one star because of the price, I already had FirstWords: Animals and there's no way to upgrade so I had to pay a whole $4.99 which I think is overpriced.
Having said that, my wife doesn't think so at all. It's just that I bought Gameloft's NOVA for the same price and I'm sure the production costs a lot more.
Anyhow, this definitely is a must have app for your little ones.Show lessAmerican Shorthair
Good learning tool
I love how it pronounces the letter when my son presses on the it to put in place, once they are all in place it sounds it out again, pronounces the word, and a picture appears above the spelled word to reiterate what my son just spelled. Marvelous! He is four years old and the letters and words are making more and more sense to him. He thinks it is fun and I think it's awesome to let him play a "video game" that is educational!Show lesstwobabiesinhawaii
Awesome for our 2 year old!
Having downloaded this a few minutes ago, I can't get my iphone back from our little girl. She loves it and we'll love the fact she's learning all the time! Thanks, so simple but so good for her development.CAGooner2004
Fantastic!!!
My 2 year old loves this game. She asks to play it whenever she sees me using my phone and would play it till the battery died on my phone if I'd let her. She places the letters in the proper spots with ease, shouts out the word she spelled and claps when she's completed each word. This is by far her favorite game app.Show lessLilnurseamy
