I have a 2.5 yr old who quickly learned ABCs and 123s on this app!! Prior to this app he was learning via flashcards (actual cards and other iPad apps). This app kept his attention better than flashcards and he quickly learned capital letters and numbers in 2 wks! (He already knew is colors, a few capital letters and numbers prior to app) He's now having a blast learning lower cases. Definitely worth a few pennies to get this app!
Suggestions for the future updates:
-option to change bee into other characters (i.e. birds, butterfly, etc...)
-add more colors
-in addition to colors/alphabet/numbers, consider adding objects or phonics or 3-4 letter words (for when my child turn 3-4yo)
I highly recommend this app to all parents for their children learning alphabet/numbers/colors!
I like the concept of the game
However, Like others I cannot open the letters, numbers or game
Option?? Not sure why they say u will get these options, they do not give them too u. If u are just interested in colors then it's nice, but if u want the colors and letters don't bother.
My 2 year old daughter loves this game. It is woth getting. Educational and keeps her entertained.
We've been using this with my son for over a year on the iPhone, and it consistently brings smiles to his face whether we're waiting for a meal at a restaurant, or trying to help him develop his skills.
Although simple in concept, this app helps with:
- Motor development (hand-eye coordination)
- Planning - can tap on a balloon, or drag a path for more fun
- Recognition of letters and numbers, with different options
- Color identification
- Verbal - pronunciation, inflection
The Idea of "cycles" from ABA therapy is also reinforced, the idea of sustaining interest in an activity, especially with another person involved.
And now - iPad support! The app is a true joy to play on the bigger screen!
Thanks, devs!
This application is useless for my kids currently. The only version available here is the free version with the "in-app" purchase for the letters & numbers. I have an ipod touch with broadband internet at home. To get the useful parts of the app I have to go to a wi-fi area to purchase the rest of it. Why make it so hard? Not everyone has an iphone or wi-fi at home. Think about the rest of us. Too bad because this looked like a great app for my almost kindergarden aged kids.
Great for my 20 month old! He loves it, and is really recognizing colors and numbers a lot better now. Nice to have the ASL signs for numbers and letters in the corner as well to help me learn those.
This "free" app became less free after the update. It was entertaining for the 3 year old I got it for, but he tired of the colors quickly. I won't be paying for the extra features, especially after the misleading update.
I am disappointed because I got this because it was free for my son to learn letters. I downloaded the game and only the colors are free, which he already knows. You are prompted to pay when you try to do the letters or numbers.
Great app. If you have trouble with the upgrade with feature loss, just send an email to the dev and they will fix it for you.
This was a fine app - not bad, not great, definitely not worth money until the bugs were worked out. Now, with the update, I have no desire to use this. Get the Parents Magazine one instead, or Hippo Shapes.
