The website is great, please add to app
The website is fantastic, I work in a school and this was a key instrument in helping an asd child age 6 learn his phonics, this was his reward in between his exercises with me, he adored it. My daughter is now approaching school age and has a keen interest in reading & writing. I saw this app, it is a lot better than other educational apps but for the high price tag I expected more content - at least all of the games at the end of each letter. I am quite disappointed by none the less my daughter loves it. Please make an app of your talking books and also the phonemes "sh" "ar" etc

Love it!
A friend raved about the website so we tried the app. It's ideal for iPhone and all I have to do now is get my phone back from my child! Some sounds have British accent already, please make this an in-app option to get 5 stars.
Average
Slightly on the over priced side for the lack of quality, I use star fall on my computer but the quality of the graphics for this one is crappy! Compared to the quality of some of the other FREE apps this is a bit of a let down
Sorry star fall have to rate it low!

For the 2nd time... What happened???
Hello, I'm back to do a review... I gave the developers, I believe a week to fix the sound bug problem... Exactly one week after I sent the review, I got d sound back, Alleluiah:)!!!!, the bad news is that exactly after a week that it had been working, the sound was gone, AGAIN!!! Yes, did i mention--AGAIN???!!!!! ... Unfortunately I love this app bec this is where my 17th mo old son learned to sound his letters & say a few simple words like boy, apple, etc... I don't know how many reviews I'm gonna do for the developers to PERMANENTLY fix thiz prob... But as I've said, u don't have to purchase d expensive ur baby can read just to have ur child learn their abcs... This should b sufficient ( but of course u as a parent should reinforce it by reading, etc...) So, d decision whether u want to buy this app is entirely up 2 u... When it's working right w/ sounds, it's really a 5 star or could b more... HOWEVER IF W/OUT A SOUND (WHICH HAD BEEN VERY ANNOYING!!), IT'S REALLY 1-3 CUZ IT'S PRACTICALLY USELESS!... And as I've promised d developers, I couldn't give them a permanent five star since they haven't PERMANENTLY removed that nasty bug!!!!!!

Pediatrician recommended
Our pediatrician recommended this for my son when he was 1 1/2 to 2 years old. He's now 5 and considered top in his class. I now have a daughter who just turned 1 year old and have been showing her Starfall since she was 6 months old. Even though the online version is free I immediately bought the iPad app because I believe in it so much...and I'm sure I owe them for all the free education they've given my children over the years.

Perfect app
My 2 year old lives on this app and within a week mastered phonics... Thanks
Great App - Perfect for iPad
I originally used the web page for my kids - yes it has US accents but the kids love the interaction
my 2 year old knows all his letters and the sounds they make because of this APP.
Now it is on the iPAD he can move the letters and really interact simple but PERFECT.
More content and updates please!

So excited
Was so excited to see this website turned into an ap! When I first got my iPad I couldn't wait to log Amberle on to Starfall so she could play with the touchpad. What a disappointment it was not a supported website. My disappointment is now over however. Please, please make a similar game for numbers and sight words. This is the best learning game out there!

Toddler loves it
A bit expensive but worth it for great animations and phonics sounds my active 13 month old is mesmerized and my oldest learnt his letters using starfall on the laptop so I know it works
Love it!
My 3 year old loves this app! It is a great on-the-go companion to the beloved starfall website, however he seemed to find it easier to manage on my iPhone than he does on the computer. The touch-screen capabilities are easier for him to control than maneuvering a mouse at this age. He was able to do the clicking and even the dragging around on some of the games at the end of the letters, whereas online I control the mouse and he tells me what to do. I can see this app will be very valuable when I need to keep him occupied when we are out, and I love that while being entertained he will be building up his reading skills!
