### 1/5 — Inappropriate for kids

*2025-12-19*

Horrible app unless you pay it keeps interrupting with advertisements that aren’t kid appropriate. Only has partial alphabet. Would never give them a dime, not kid-friendly and gives no warning. There’s no way to see if your KIDS like the app without paying for it or exposing them to random ad content. Developer unsympathetic attitude on full display in their responses.

### 5/5 — Palabras

*2025-08-05, version 1.6*

Gritón

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-06-29*

Why is there advertisement every 3 letters?? What you think my 3 year old trying to learn his letters going to buy something???

### 1/5 — I purchased this app

*2024-06-01*

I purchased this app, and now it’s making me pay for it again and showing apps when I brought it and I wouldn’t do that before. I really dislike the update.

### 1/5 — Ads every third letter

*2023-09-15, version 1.5*

Pop up’s, ads every third letter, and ultimately it wouldn’t let me progress without buying the plus version. Half of an alphabet, that’s all I got

### 1/5 — Bugs and no audio

*2023-07-24*

App worked for a few hours, paid for the ad free version, now no audio, no music, and constantly bugs and then crashes

**Developer response:** Quit all apps and restart the device. It happens when you open too many apps on the device. If the problem persist, send your device and OS details to support.

Hope it helps.

### 1/5 — Wildly inappropriate

*2023-06-08*

It amazes me that there would be an app out there that’s “free” but you need to pay for no ads. Otherwise the apps priority is to bombard you with ads every 3-4 letters or swipes on the screen. So instead of helping teach my child without interruption, I’m forced to be interrupted with random ads. Baffling how people can make an app for kids but make ad revenue a priority over learning.

**Developer response:** The free app is provided as a demo to actually see the content and make a decision to buy. It is absolutely not advisable to practice on kids without purchasing.

### 2/5 — HAVE TO PAY TO GET HALF OF ALPHABET

*2023-05-27*

I could only go as far as L and then I had to pay for the rest. When I clicked on the letter expecting some sort of sound (to pronounce to letter), nothing came. Also, it would show short advertisements after clicked on a couple of letters. I was just looking for an app that showed me ALL of the alphabet to help my neice. I had seen some reviews saying the sound didn’t work and the creator just saying to reset and that’s not the case. My phone works perfectly fine, lots of storage left, cleared out my tabs, and I have shut it completely off and on. Nothing helped. I feel like the way they gave us only half of the alphabet to use isn’t very helpful. I understand that I can just use what is provided and just find another app for the rest but that shouldn’t have to be necessary. In MY opinion, there are other apps that so the same thing AND more and I will be choosing those apps. I was very disappointed in the outcome of this app and hope that it will be updated in the future to be more efficient.

**Developer response:** Hi.

The app is working fine. Some users email us and complain but at the end they find that their device is either muted or they had many apps running in the background. If that’s not your case you can contact us on the support email and we’d surely help you to troubleshoot the problem.

The app is provided free as a demo. There is a cost involved in creating and managing the apps. The main idea is that if you find it useful, consider buying it. After the purchase you won’t have to deal with ads and other useful features will also be unlocked.

Thanks for your time.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-05-08, version 1.5*

Free version is completely useless…ads every 3 letters and can’t get past the letter ’M’ without hitting a hard pay wall…can’t believe this ever made the App Store.

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2023-03-11, version 1.5*

When I try to use the game for my nephew, it kept crashing every 6 seconds.
