Not worth to buy it
Not happy at all. It basically has the whole alphabet with 1 task to do. Not worth buying it when you can learn same stuff for free
Needs improvement
I literally just paid for the app because my 1 year old loves watching these videos on YouTube. He has been counting and saying his abc’s. I will teach as well but took a backseat approach to see if this show was going to be beneficial. I don’t really sit my son in front of the tv, if I do it’s prob towards the end of the day and I like it to be educational. So, by observing him watching the YouTube videos I see he’s increased his learning double so this is my go to for his development. However, I am disappointed with the app. It’s glitchy on my phone. No sounds play only the instrumental and I can’t go back once I click on a letter and it takes so long for them to start sounding out the letter I didn’t even know at first they had that option that’s how glitchy and laggy it is for me. I can’t really do much in the app itself. I am okay with supporting them because I believe in their cause but they should put more thought and care into their app esp if they are charging. You’d expect it to be well throughout. Dollar or not it’s the principal. At least have your app represent you in a good light and this app is so far below the bar of what they offer on YouTube. I see they haven’t updated it since it’s debut. I hope they see this review and consider working on their app or are already in the process. Shalom

My Little one loves the app
My 19 month old loves this app. We have e been watching Akili and Me since he was a few months old and getting the app was the next step. Like others said, I wish there was more, like Capital letters and a few more words for the letters but, that’s what the videos and parents are for, right.
waste of my money
my infant loves akili and me alphabet and number songs but this app didn’t include songs.
Information Not as advertised
I feel cheated ... even though it’s a dollar worth.
The information given isn’t what is given . Only the alphabets matching comes up and the alphabets are in small letters only.
My issue is cancelling the subscription, I can’t seem to find a way to cancel and the email I sent hasn’t been responded to.

Amazing.
I love this app for my daughter. She loves watching Akili and her friends. She has learned so much from them including her letters and numbers and she’s not even 2 yet! Looking for more akili apps ok the apple store!
Love it
My 2 year old loves this app it’s helped so much with her alphabet. We love the Akili show so having her on app is extra fun!
Amazing!!
My daughter has been watching Akili on YouTube long before this app was available in the App Store so this just gives extra practice to what she already knows how to do. I have only great reviews for this as it reinforces the alphabet and phonics for my 17 month old who’s been able to identify and sound out for months now.
My only wish - more of the Ubongo/Akili apps were available here as they are on the Google Play store.

Great but needs more
My daughter loves akili so I decided to buy to app. I just wish it had a little more to help learn not really hands on. And we went through the whole app in like 5 minutes. I hope in the future more games are added in to learn.
This app is needed!
My son has been using this app since around 10 months. At first he couldn’t even drag the letters but now he can match all of his letters at 20 months. He says them, identifies them on packages and any signs he sees. This app has definitely let him learn to identify and say his letters and I’m amazed.

Perfect!
I love this app. This app has helped my 18+ month old learn to identify letters and it’s phonic sounds! I love the interactive part where the child has to choose one of the different letters around to fit the correct letters in the middle. My baby is not even 2 yet and can identify, sound out, and give more than one example of every letter in the alphabet.

Way too simple
The app consists ONLY in the following:
1) Pick a letter of the alphabet
2) From a set of four choices, find the letter you just picked
3) The app then says the letter name and sound it makes a few times, along with three words that begin with that letter
That’s it. Way too simple to be helpful. Too little reinforcement on each letter. And it’s lowercase letters only. The Akili letter YouTube videos are way better. For an app try the Starfall ABCs. Still pretty simple, but it spends more time on each letter, and requires more child interaction. Also, it’s free.

App could do with some improvements
As much as I love Akili on YouTube, the app is very basic and could do with some improvements. it is very affordable and for the price I didn’t expect leaps and founds however I would at least like an introduction or some instructions on how to use the app rather than just straight into the game and being guided by some arrows. It’s not very clear for the children.

I recommend it!
Great app! Works really well! Colourful and musical :)
Love it!
My daughter loves Akili and she has learnt a lot from the YouTube videos. She is 1.5 years old and knows colours, numbers, the alphabet and animals! Thank you Akili! The app is great for more interaction!
