Leave a Review Mini Adventures
Please update to ISO 8
My son loves this app and used it all the time but when we updated to iOS 8 the videos will no longer play properly. They won't full screen and if they do, they go all black with sound only. The original size of video is like a postage stamp so they are completely unviewable. Also we have to kill the app to exit if we try to enlarge a video. I sent mail to support but did not get a rely. Too bad. I wish they would fix it and support iOS 8. For now this app is disappointing and not useful.Show lessKkickers

PARENTAl WARNING!!!
This app is inappropriate for any age child. It has potential to be a wonderful educational tool but the problem is that the videos are with I believe U-Tube so that one word will link to another thus taking a user into murky water. If an adult is not with the child using the app the child could go from Elephants to elephants mounting one another to dogs humping, to other animals copulating to humans.
Yes the graphics, videos and still photos are of supreme quality but there is no monitoring of the content. Please remove it from showing up in any search for Apps for Toddlers or any child till this problem can be remedied.Show lessNW-Nuance
thoughts
This is an entertaining app But I don't like the fact that I can't explore the letters of the words which is which I'm being taught. I would like to see if the phonic sounds of the letters of the word coming into play here to teach kids to read opposed to treating the words as sight words as some of the words are too long to be sight words. not enough control for the user other than listening to a word being read and a video. I would not give this app to my students. little writers app has a better concept.Show lessroxnzac
Download this app
As a speech-language pathologist, I highly recommend this app. Sometimes it's hard to find photos of everyday objects and less familiar objects to use in therapy. This app has pictures of both and has multiple pictures of each object. I love that the students will be able to realize that not all rafts look similar, not all fire trucks look alike, etc. This is especially helpful for students who over-generalize. I also love the built in videos of the objects in action. What a wonderful app!Show lessEklhopkins
OK & and not for everyone
The photos are good but very repetitive (how many times can we see an airplane) and the videos are a good concept. However, if a child is in the beginning stages of learning the alphabet, the words may be either too long or difficult to repeat. The other thing - it doesn't tell you what letter is being introduced; for example, "A" is for "airplane". This app is better suited for an older child but by then, he/she should know their letters... Decided to delete from my educational app listing.Show lessJust "K"
Let's go learn alphabet
.Like the video portions that accompany the pictures. Initially I expected the letters to make the sound of the letter, but that is not what the app is teaching. I think it is well named for what it does. I am Speech and Language Pathologist and I tend to look for apps that I can use with students. It might be one to use with 18 month to two year olds as it would teach the concept of " when I touch this, this happens".Show lessMoslp
Lively learning
I really like the app. My students will maintain interest. Provides opportunity for vocabulary development: descriptions, functions, etc. And developing language structures. I only wish I had the option to keep the vehicles in ABC order instead of random when you choose a specific letter because it would be great for articulation practice.Show lessSpikeygirlz67
My son loved it!
Before we downloaded mini alphabet we enjoyed mini animals. My 8 year old son and twins really love mini animals, but when I showed my son the mini alphabet transport system, it blew him away!! You really touch his heart. He loves everything that goes, from helicopters to speed boats to airplanes, and with the videos, it was the icing on the cake! Thank you very much for creating very visual and entertaing apps. We have almost everyone you've created! Thanks again! We are very happy.Show lessChica Norteña
Great ap
Wonderful real-life pictures to illustrate the letter sounds, especially interesting for kids who like cars and trucks. The video clips are a bit long for a speech/language therapy session but can be controlled by the therapist to allow the session to move along. The videos exposé the viewers to experiences they may not be familiar with in a manner that makes you feel like you are there.Show lessDebbySLP
Great app but...
I think this app is perfect for young preschoolers. The pictures are beautiful and most of the videos are engaging. My almost 4 year old is learning letters. I wish there was a setting that allowed him to tap on all letters in a word instead of how you tap a letter and it changes to a word beginning with that letter. Still very please with this app, thanks!Show lessCarolemm
