### 5/5 — Trustworthy educational app

*2014-09-03*

I got the free version first and my daughter did so well I actually bought it. It's easy to use and does a great job teaching letters and mind solving problems. Well worth the little money it is.

### 5/5 — Big help for my toddler

*2014-08-15*

She started learning alphabet and even naming animals too. She easily can solve the puzzle now! I am so happy!

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!

*2014-08-13*

Love watching my 2yr old learn letters and words with app so easy to use for young ones!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-06-29, version 1.2*

My 4 year old absolutely loves this app. He is doing so well with letter recognition now!

### 5/5 — A great app

*2014-06-28*

This is a great app for helping the little ones in your family learn the English alphabet. My nephews have used "Alphabet Aquarium School Adventure Vol 1" for only a few days so far and their grasp of the English alphabet has definitely increased quite a bit in that short period of time. I also like the fact that my nephews are captivated by the app's immersive learning experience, allowing me to leave them on their own for a bit.

### 5/5 — Perfect learning tool

*2014-06-23*

Could not be happier with my purchase. App not only works great logistically, but my kids love it and in just the few weeks we have had it on our iPad I have seen a huge improvement in their writing skills. The puzzles are great learning tools and my kids can’t get enough of them. Very pleased.

### 5/5 — Too cute!

*2014-06-23, version 1.2*

I absolutely love ABC Aquarium. Tons of fun things for kids to do! Definitely worth the price.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2014-03-03*

First of all I would like to say how happy I was with your other app First Phonics that I’ve now purchased Alphabet Aquarium! 
With that said this is an amazing app for parents to teach their children the alphabet with no fuss at all! I currently have a daughter whom I still teaching the alphabet too and one thing I love about this app is that on top of the alphabet it also teaches children to recognize puzzle solving and recognizing different species of animals and the letter they start with so it also helps them out with spelling on top of that! The mixture of animals, colours and the user interface is made perfectly so it’s very easy for even kids to use!
What really makes this app worth your while though is the use of multiple puzzles and how that affects the child, I can point to an animal and my daughter can tell me what the animals name is now, which is terrific I must say!
So if you have a child that either has started learning the alphabet at school and you want to give them a hand or even better if you home school your child this would be absolutely perfect for it! As a parent I would highly recommend this app to every other parent out there who wishes to really give their child a head start or even give them a hand in learning puzzle solving as well as the alphabet because this is the perfect app to use!

So I'm not sure what the other guys talking about this works amazing for me!

### 5/5 — Awesome app to learn "ABC's"

*2014-02-04, version 1.2*

This is the best app for children to learn their "ABC's". The best part is that every letter you touch it pronounces so they learn every time they interact with it.

### 5/5 — Favorite for my daughter

*2014-01-09*

This is the current favorite iPad app in our house. My daughter is 3 1/2, and she has a mild form of autism. It is really nice to see how she loves this app. She wants to play with the aquarium all the time. Alphabet Aquarium is a great app that teaches children shapes of letters. The interface is very simple to use for children. Happy with the purchase.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2013-12-18, version 1.2*

This is a great app. My two year old loves this game. It is very easy to use and is a great learning tool.

### 5/5 — Luv it!!!

*2013-08-20, version 1.2*

Great app to teach the alphabets!!!

### 5/5 — Another great pre-school app

*2013-08-07*

I now have several of the pre-school apps by 22learn, this one follows the same, easy to use and easy to understand methods and layout.  I wish i'd found these a year or two ago!  Although my boy seems to be getting into 'Mario and Luigi' at the moment, he still comes back and picks these up for some brain-time.

### 5/5 — Effective for learning ABCs!

*2013-08-07*

My 2 year old cousin is slowly learning her ABCs with this app. She loves the puzzles and animals. It's a much better use of her time on my phone than the other games for kids. I'm definitely looking into the other learning apps!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing!

*2013-10-16, version 1.2*

I can't even open the app I paid for! Annoying.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2013-05-09*

Doesn't work. After loading page finishes it goes to black. I just wasted $2.

### 2/5 — Confusing for small children

*2015-02-01*

X is for... foX? U is for underwear with picture of model in knickers? U is for ugly with picture of bulldog? Great app for layout and introducing touch screen, but I do not think the examples are the most appropriate for children and can be confusing.

### 3/5 — U is for Ugly?!?!

*2016-06-01, version 1.2*

I like the app, but am not happy with the usage of  the word "ugly" for the "U."  Also, "U is for ugly" is referring to a dog? There are other words that could have been used.  Bad example!

### 3/5 — Some flaws but good for learning

*2015-10-29*

This game provides good gameplay and visuals for learning the alphabet. However some flaws include the addition of notifications which is inappropriate for young children; other similar apps avoid this. The animation performance speed is slow even on an iPad 3 with the latest system software. Overall this offers decent education and entertainment but needs updating to address issues.

### 3/5 — Good app but....

*2014-10-04*

Great app however the example for U was disappointing. They use the word ugly and then there is a picture of an English bulldog. I have a bulldog so it's offensive to me and my child using the app. She expressed it was a mean thing to say. Not to mention kids should not be taught a hurtful word like that. They could have used a different example.

### 4/5 — Like it

*2015-05-24, version 1.2*

My child likes this game but she loved putting together the animal that went with that letter. Why did it get taken off.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2013-07-22*

My three year old son loves this app and asks to play it often. He is learning his letters quickly, and can associate them with words. The only thing that would make it better might be phonics sounds and songs. Thanks!

### 4/5 — great

*2013-04-27, version 1.1*

my little sister likes this app.

### 4/5 — Exorcist bear

*2013-03-23*

The app is awesome, except for the bear. How has nobody commented on the exorcist bear?!? The thing's head spins all the way around, it's super creepy. I had to turn the animal feature off because.... Screw that. Also, the voice is pretty creepy too, but after seeing a cartoon bear's head spin all the way upside down, pretty much everything seems scarier. 

Anyways, please fix the dang bear. Please.

### 5/5 — Excellent app and great customer service

*2018-01-10*

This app is great for my daughter! I have 4 of there apps and she loves them all, all great learning apps. I had an issue with downloading my purchased apps onto a new iPad and I contacted the company. Bohumil contacted me right back and helped me fix and resolve the issue  immediately. Thank you Bohumil for your help!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-05-17*

I downloaded the free app to see if my 3-1/2yr old would even play it, within 20mins I bought the full version. He even told me to go away because he could do it by himself!

### 5/5 — 2 year old loves!!

*2016-04-18*

I paid to get the full version my 2 year old loved it so much! He picked up on it quick after some trial and errors but loves it!! And the best part it's educational!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2015-09-28*

My nephew absolutely loves these! Started him on these when he was 18 months and he is learning to build his letters and match pictures. I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Great for toddlers

*2015-08-20*

Be patient. At first, my daughter just randomly poked at different answers, but after two weeks she is choosing right answers on purpose. She loves it and calls it her game! I would recommend headphones. As a adult the sounds can be annoying--but they're perfect for kids.

### 5/5 — Abc aquarium

*2015-03-06*

Me and My daughter liked both liked the game very much. So we down loaded the full version. It's worry hit.

### 5/5 — Best app and game

*2015-01-26*

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2014-10-29*

My 2 year old loves this game, he freaks out when he cant play it but its an amazing app, I never realized how much he was learning from it but WOW, he came back from his pre school class and they couldn't believe how good he knew his letters, and in turn it kinda blew me away as well, anyhow its a great app and I will definitely be recommending it to my friends with young children, thanks

### 5/5 — Preschool perfection.

*2014-09-11, version 1.2*

My twin Granddaughters are a few months shy of 3 years young. I have them in my home 2x a week for preschool and this App is a huge hit. They are excited to use it and the three of us have so much fun learning!!  Well worth the very low cost for the full version.
