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.

Videos are irresponsible and full of swear words
If you had screened the videos connected to this app this would have been an invaluable learning tool for children.As it stands..you have selected videos that are full of swear words such as f..k! What were you thinking.there is a complete lack of responsibility regarding childrens very impressionable learning.you have marketed this app without any consideration to your target audience.sorry but its appalling.if you actually read your reviews you have the opportunity to correct this..potentially save your reputation but most importantly shield children from a lot of the unexceptable content... Bad language and in doing so may redeem yourselves in the eyes of parents.sorry but some of the video content is inexcusable and definitely unacceptable. Be responsible check them out screen them and get rid of the offensive ones.

Just previewed this app to use in my Kindergarten. I am really glad I watched one video, about horses,as I saw other suggestions to watch. So happy it was me, not a student that watched the stallion mount the mare in full colour. I will be turning off the video option, but my tech savy K's can easily enable it.
Not worth the potential problems. Please fix this.

Pornography, Foul Language, Adult Subject Matter
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.

Not geared to young children
Some pictures are outside the experience of children young enough to still be learning sounds. Okay for older ones but what's the point? 'tuk tuk'? I like the use of lower case letters. No need for videos.
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.

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!

Cool
On the basis of what I have seen so far my son was very happy using the app.
Good but .....
Should use letter sounds not names, otherwise five stars. Pretty poor for an app that is about literacy.
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.
