You can’t see where you’re dragging it. It’s confusing and even though our son loves the game, he gets super frustrated because it looks like it’s at the end but the bug covers almost the entire letter now. I’ve tried to delete and download again but it still does it. Not worth it with how frustrating it is for kids. ### 4/5 — DAVE&AVA *2026-04-09, version 1.0.2* BUY t g f b e ### 2/5 — Tuyfiytfuoftyyctyu *2025-02-03, version 1.0.2* A ### 2/5 — Can’t restore in app purchase *2024-02-19, version 1.0.2* I can’t restore in app purchasing on my son’s iPad ### 2/5 — Zooms in *2023-08-18, version 1.0.2* Our son loves this but right after we purchased for the full alphabet, the letters zoomed in where you can’t see the full letter because it’s blocked by the grass and the bug is huge.

Now we found that the Alphabet no longers works as it used to be. The letters that one should write along with one finger are covered by the bug which is now too big. It looks like its frozen in the middle of adjusting its size and that looks weird. We use iPhone 12, iOS 16.3.1 and tried to uninstall and re-install the app. Did not help. It only occurs with the Alphabet-App, not on the Numbers-App. Thanks for checking. ### 2/5 — Maybe *2023-03-27, version 1.0.2* The ### 2/5 — Needs a update *2022-11-03, version 1.0.2* This game hasn’t been updated in 3 years and my two year old loves this game and I don’t like to see her cry or get upset because of game crashes a lot. ### 3/5 — Great but…. *2022-03-29, version 1.0.2* My daughter loves the app but sometimes the ladybugs, tracing dots, and fruits appear much larger than normal. Help?! ### 2/5 — Not working on ipad *2022-03-06, version 1.0.2* Downloaded in iphone and ipad but its not working properly in ipad just stuck most of the time. My son uses in ipad very disappointed. ### 4/5 — Vcvvbhhhhjjjjjjjjjjkjj *2022-01-26, version 1.0.2* Jjjhgfggfffy ### 3/5 — Won’t let me restore *2021-12-31, version 1.0.2* I love the app but I switched to a new phone and now the apps won’t let me restore the in app purchases & I refuse to keep paying every time I download it on another phone or tablet ### 4/5 — Recuperar todo *2021-07-11* Cambie de equipo y no puedo recuperar la aplicación que pague ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is for babies!!! And it's garbage!!! *2026-08-02, version 1.0.2* This is a joke I mean come on!!! My 2 year old son is like "Bro, dude this is garbage!!!" There are better games out There so guys say it with me "GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ### 1/5 — Perfect until the tracing bugs got huge! *2025-01-31, version 1.0.2* This app was my favorite ABC learning tool for my grandkids. Unfortunately, 2 years ago it started showing distorted ladybugs during the tracing part of this app. Deleting, restarting, reloading does not work. I’m doing this review in hopes someone will help me and anyone else experiencing this. CUSTOMER support contacted but after some communication, nothing has changed. The NUMBER game works fine so I know it’s not my phone. My adult daughter has the same issue, which started the sane time! Help ### 1/5 — It is so hard to unlock the words in this game okay *2024-08-02, version 1.0.2* you can do a good job ### 1/5 — Charging me again? *2023-06-12, version 1.0.2* After initially downloading the app I was super happy, my son was learning letters really well and associating letters with words, not long after downloading the app (paid for the whole alphabet) the letters began to appear big on the tracing bit and was obscured by the grass so I thought uninstalling the app and re downloading it might fix the issue, not only has it NOT fixed the problem but it now also wants me to pay again!! It’s not expensive just annoying!! Why should I pay twice? Hopefully I’ve overlooked something and it can be fixed please help if there’s a solution if not the app team really needs to look into this ### 1/5 — when will the bug be fixed *2022-10-27, version 1.0.2* The letters bug has been there for years yet no one fixing it. How can children enjoy the app when it annoying it to move the bug around the letters. Not only that but the letters bug under the grass not fixed also. Ugh what a joke for a kid education app. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-09-23, version 1.0.2* It doesn’t restore previous purchases ### 1/5 — Nice app But Misleading *2022-01-04, version 1.0.2* The Dave and Ava videos are absolutely amazing but the promos for the free apps are very misleading. The “free” app is extremely limited. For example, on the ABC app, that’s all you get, ABC, which is the part that’s marketed on the videos anyway. Disappointing, it could have at least gotten you a little bit further into the alphabet. So we’re deleting the app but will continue to enjoy the videos. ### 1/5 — This is sooooooooo bad *2021-07-30, version 1.0.2* This is so bad you have to pay to do the 23 letter they only let you do A B C I give this a 0 but I am giving it a -1 ### 1/5 — No repeat option, No Lower case *2021-06-23, version 1.0.2* Even after paying for it, its of no use. It goes by its own way. Not at all customizable ### 1/5 — 👎 *2021-04-30, version 1.0.2* Not pay one and watch forever like the advertising. I payed and my daughter accidentally deleted it. Now I down load it back it ask me to pay again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solomon *2026-07-05, version 1.0.2* Vinny’s ### 5/5 — Solomon 297 *2026-06-21, version 1.0.2* $2 ### 5/5 — Lake Jackson *2026-01-28, version 1.0.2* Texas ### 5/5 — ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYNZ don’t lock *2025-10-19, version 1.0.2* Elmo wants ABCs don’t don’t see right or do not lock ### 5/5 — please teacher *2024-10-11, version 1.0.2* Dave and ava letter abc Song ### 5/5 — Perfect until the tracing bugs got huge! *2024-06-19* This app was my favorite ABC learning tool for my grandkids.
