### 1/5 — Used to be great 😕

*2017-08-21, version 2.70*

Will no longer allow me to set up a quiz and keeps saying it doesn't have enough selections to set up a quiz and I have everything selected in different varieties and nothing works. App keeps freezing up and will not let me add pictures or my voice!

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-11-29, version 2.70*

Even babies < 1 year can use it

### 5/5 — Simple lots of fun

*2014-05-02, version 2.70*

My son loves this simple app and we love adding our own voices to the letters and adding our own pictures.

### 4/5 — Excellent idea!!!

*2013-07-25, version 2.6*

This is the best application I have download so far!!!
This is an excellent idea, being able to record  and use your voice to teach your baby is wonderful!!
As a bilingual parent is very important for us to make sure our baby is learning the correct pronunciation to our language. Numbers, letters and shapes, I couldn't ask for more!!!
Thanks so much.

### 5/5 — Awesome baby app!

*2013-04-21, version 2.6*

My 9 month old loves this app! Keeps her entertained for hours ( more like minutes but good enough)!!

### 3/5 — Fix it!

*2012-09-20, version 2.50*

Please fix the problem with the add yur own pictures, when I record the sound , it plays back real low. I can't hear it !

### 1/5 — Not great anymore

*2012-08-31, version 2.4*

This app was awesome at first. Particularly when we figured out we could record our own voices to say the letters. We then had our son's grandparents record the letters so he could hear their voices, even when he doesn't see them often as they live out of town. For some reason, the sound doesn't work anymore. For that reason alone, it get's one star. That is really what made the app cool.

Now, if you fix it, I'll give you five. One suggestion would also be a way to lock it so young ones who don't have fine motor dexterity can still play with it without shrinking the program to close... If that's possible.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2012-08-15, version 2.4*

Grandson@ 10 months is mesmerized!

### 5/5 — Awesome app for infants

*2012-07-14, version 2.4*

My 6 month old loves this app. I absolutely love the fact that I can record my own voice for the letters, numbers, shapes, and colors so she recognizes the voice.

### 2/5 — No sound

*2012-05-25, version 2.3*

Glad to see I'm not the only one with sound problems with this app. Would be a pretty good app if they can fix that bug.
