  • Nice app - need to update child track to use proper pronunciation

    Very nice app - my two-year old gets absolutely glued to the screen and I appreciate that the counting goes above 10. Would love go be able to set it to go higher than 20 as well.

    It has a decent variation of learning modes - it's a little odd that there's no main menu, but it's easy enough to cycle through the modes via a button in the bottom left that it's totally fine. (Though, moving that button to the upper right of the screen instead of lower left would help a lot - my son accidentally switches out of activities all the time because that button sits right where a lot of his tapping happens.)

    My biggest concern with the app is that the child voiceover track inadvertently teaches improper pronunciation - of course it's totally cute, but the lisps and w's instead of r's is a big oversight when this is meant to be a learning tool. Fix that and I'll definitely change the rating. I'll also use it a lot more.

    I would also prefer the letters not be formed by lined-up fish - they're hard to read (the "W" for example, that just looks like a group of fish) and instant recognizability is what kids learning the alphabet need.

  • Great toddler app

    Keeps my son engaged and is also educational.
  • Not enough interaction

    First off, there is no BACK button or main menu to find a specific spot. Also after each section there is no interaction at all. No game asking the kids to find the letter or find the number..shape, colour... This is not an interactive educational activity at all. Just a glorified video. Very disappointing!!

  • My son is Gaga for this app!

    When I open this app my 16 month old son comes running... He loves to watch the fish morph into different letters and numbers... Great app for learning...
  • Not as good as the other apps

    I LOVE the apps I've downloaded from Duck,Duck,Moose they are high quality, beautiful apps, easy to use for my preschooler and beautiful color and music.

    In my opinion this app is not as good as the others. Most of the apps have menus so that you can easily navigate through the activities and levels of difficulty. This app has neither of those features. no menu means you have to scroll through the games. No levels of difficulty means that unlike the other apps from this developer it does not grow with your child. I didn't care for the letters formed by swimming fish and kids can click through to the next letter way too quickly.

  • 20 month old is totally addicted

    My 20 month old will play with this app for an hour. She'll wake up and ask "fish? fish? fish?". The app has a few different games which vary from really simple (the alphabet song which plays without any interaction) to games for older kids (memory type matching game). I don't know if my baby is learning anything , but she definitely has fun. The music is relaxing and I don't mind hearing it in the background. My only complaint is the way the letters are formed by the fish gathering together so sometimes the shape of the letter isn't totally clear. Overall, very fun for toddlers!

  • ABC Song!

    My preschooler would play this all day if I let him. He especially loves the ABC Song, matching and colors.
  • Fun

    This is an entertaining app. Perfect for hands on learning. The play option could be more rewarding and fun. It is the least impressive part of the entire app. It just lacked the silly magic of the other apps like "Itsy Bitsy Spider"that thrill young children.
  • Favorite

    Such a fantastic way to introduce the young ones to the alphabet, numbers, and shapes.... while they're playing and having fun! He wants to play with the fish all the time!!
  • WOW!!

    This is the current favorite iPad app in our house. It's kind of like an ABC and Numbers book... but animated with beautiful moving fish! There are also other fun educational games like "Spot what's different?" and a Colors game. I bought this for my 3 year old but even my 6 year old likes the matching.
