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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Awful waste of time *2022-03-04* My 2 year old was excited the apps music intrigued her the colors were bright then an ad by the 3rd letter and can’t go past “M” without buying the full app, I understand everyone wants money. The ABCs are not where to make it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-02-26, version 1.5* If I could give this app zero stars I would. The app is super basic to help toddlers learn colors and letters but now I can’t hear the voices anymore that announce the letters and it doesn’t go past letter M without asking for a purchase. Waste of an app. ### 1/5 — If i could give it none I would *2021-10-05, version 1.5* So I downloaded it thinking id get a free flash card app for my daughter, nope if you want more then the letter m you have to pay . ### 3/5 — The letter Z *2021-09-28, version 1.5* The letter “Z” is not pronounced correctly. ### 1/5 — Garbage! *2021-08-30, version 1.5* Try to teach your kid letters? Sure 26 ads!!! No thank you! ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2021-08-04* Why is this even in the free apps if you can’t go past the letter M flash card. It strongly encourages you to purchase but doesn’t give you the option to continue past the M . Don’t download if you don’t want to pay ### 1/5 — Why pay for the alphabet? *2021-07-05* You can only get to the letter M before being asked to pay for the whole app. And the pronunciation for most of the letters is crappy anyways, my kid thought the letter J sounded like the word Day. Ridiculous. Would give it zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Not a full version *2021-07-03, version 1.5* It goes to letter M them wants you to buy the app for $1.99. 🙄 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-06-22, version 1.5* This app does not say the letters correctly ### 2/5 — Ads make it useless *2021-05-28* I get that app developers have to make money, but this app is useless because of the ads. A shame, otherwise it would have been great. ### 1/5 — Garbage unless you buy *2021-03-28, version 1.5* Wouldn’t even let us get through the alphabet without making us buy the full app. That was with an ad after only letter G. Trash. ### 2/5 — Not loving it *2021-01-03, version 1.5* We were quite loving the app and then we got to Z and JT announced the letter as “Zed”. ### 3/5 — Mispronounced letters *2020-12-07, version 1.5* Decent app, but the letters “R” and “Z” are pronounced incorrectly. The R is soft and the Z is pronounced “Zed” on this app. ### 2/5 — Purchased the app and still the ads appear *2020-11-19* I purchased the app from inside the free one. Then another screen appeared requiring confirmation of my credit card, which I thought weird because my card is on file with Apple App Store. So I closed the app, deleted it from my phone, rebooted the phone and then went to the App Store to my Purchased apps list and downloaded/installed it from there. The app is still behaving as the free one did. ### 1/5 — Waste *2020-11-04, version 1.5* This app is a waste. You have to pay for it if you want to go past the letter M, ads interrupt in the middle of learning. Why would anyone pay for an app that just places music and goes through the abc’s?? ### 2/5 — Nice, but costs $2 if you want to to go past M *2020-11-04, version 1.5* We went once through the Flashcards and hit 4 ads before M. At M it just got stuck asking me to buy it. No thanks. Deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-11-02, version 1.5* This app is completely filled with ads and here is no way to get a paid version to stop the ads! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2022-08-25, version 1.5* Tried deleting it and reinstalling it. Doesn’t work. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Can’t buy the premium *2022-08-17, version 1.5* Pressing the button to buy crashes the app.. ### 1/5 — Crap. *2022-04-08, version 1.5* They only give you a-m without purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Palabras *2025-08-05, version 1.6* Gritón ### 5/5 — Airplay is taking too long *2020-05-26, version 1.5* I’m trying to play this app on my TV through AirPlay but it is taking too long to respond. ### 5/5 — Good app with a plus *2020-05-05, version 1.5* One good app and a plus one for adding beautiful ABC songs in it. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2020-05-04* I thought what good this app could do but showing it to my son for a few times made him interested in it and he’s now trying to speak. ### 5/5 — My son’s first book of ABC *2020-05-03* I don’t know how but it works. When my son was learning to say mama, this app taught him few alphabets very easily. **Developer response:** Thank you for appreciation. ### 5/5 — More writing styles *2020-04-25, version 1.5* There should be more than one writing style because children needs to recognize other shapes for the same letter. **Developer response:** Check our other apps, they have such functionality. ### 5/5 — More background music *2020-04-24, version 1.5* Few more soft background music would certainly bring some variation. ### 5/5 — One time purchase *2020-04-18, version 1.5* One time purchase is the best and I appreciate the developer for giving out this app almost for free. ### 5/5 — Low price *2020-04-17, version 1.5* I appreciate the developer for producing such a good app and keeping the price very low. ### 5/5 — ABC song is too loud *2020-04-15* The app is just great but the ABC song is too loud. My 3 year old son keeps playing it and insist for a full volume. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
