The repetative teachings along with the sounds and pictures are really helping him grasp the concept of words. ### 5/5 — 😘 *2017-05-22, version 3.3* Great game to learn vocabulary. ### 3/5 — Love to learn *2017-03-24, version 3.2* I purchased this game and it will not let me reload it! For various reasons we may need to reload a game. My kids do like the game but not worth buying twice ### 4/5 — Fun and educational *2013-11-03, version 2.1* My 3 year old likes this game. ### 5/5 — Kids like it *2013-10-18, version 2.1* Educational game ### 5/5 — Best letter learning app I've found! *2013-09-08, version 2.0* My son just turned two last month and I've been trying to find the perfect app for him to learn his letters. This is it! He's drastically improved in his matching skills and recognizing letters by name. It's fun for him and colorful but it's not too fun and colorful that he gets distracted. Love it! ### 4/5 — Ludique ! *2013-04-26* Mes enfants y jouent bien volontiers et apprennent par la même occasion. C'est parfait pour commencer. ### 5/5 — Nice *2013-03-20, version 2.0* Very nice loaded nice. Now to see if it keep my daughter busy. ### 5/5 — Good game! *2013-03-19, version 2.0* I love it ### 4/5 — Mom *2013-03-16, version 2.0* My 2yr old loves this game ### 5/5 — Cool *2013-03-03* Très bien pour les enfants ### 2/5 — A pity about this app *2013-01-16, version 2.0* A good idea but lacking in real educational thought. Using capital letters is not the way reading is taught and saying the letter name is counterproductive to good learning. Better would be to use letter sounds before the letter name and to use lower case letters ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-09-15, version 6.0* I paid $65 to have the full unlocked version and it’s completely a scam. The app has many glitches and frustrates my toddler excessively. It’s like everything is off centered and doesn’t match up with the screen. It constantly is making errors and glitches. Wish i never payed for it I want my full money back. I have tried deleting the app and redownloading it and it still doesn’t fix the many glitches. This app is a scam. ### 1/5 — Subscription product and I can't see how to cancel. *2021-03-23, version 5.0* I'm extremely disappointed in this product. Last month I looked and I have a charge for $4.99 on my credit card from this company for "updated content". I went to see if I could cancel it, but I don't see anywhere where I can be canceled. When I looked more closely at several of the reviews for this product, I saw many grammatical errors which indicate to me that maybe these weren't authentic reviews. Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to cancel this thing so I don't get more charges On my account. I would avoid this product like the plague because there are many more that you can buy for the same price without having to get dinged monthly. ### 1/5 — How do I cancel? *2018-04-20, version 4.0* Had to agree to pay after 7 day trial. Not interested in even getting to that point. Says to cancel in settings but I cannot seem to find where to cancel. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-04-12, version 4.0* The app doesn’t have sound. Looks cute but basically pointless without the sound. ### 1/5 — Edu-game *2012-05-21, version 1.1* What age is this for? Surely not preschool. This is not my choice of a good edu-game for a preschooler. ### 1/5 — Mmd *2012-05-09, version 1.1* Only 1 star ### 1/5 — Not educational *2012-02-26, version 1.1* Doesn't use phonic sounds. ### 1/5 — Zukunft *2012-02-08* Nicht die gegenwart allein treibt uns am ### 2/5 — ,9,w’a,k *2025-01-24, version 6.0* Kia,w8wkw8ak9lw9kw8k8iwloaoa,’ oooaaaks’wk’ksowkwkwkowlwowlowlwol ### 2/5 — No Sound *2019-12-28, version 5.0* Looks like a great app from what I can. However I can't hear a thing. Any ideas? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Khanh *2024-08-12, version 6.0* First words ### 5/5 — Bbbhh *2024-03-08, version 6.0* Hh ### 5/5 — Viraaj *2024-01-27* 1980 ### 5/5 — No sound. *2019-02-10, version 4.0* How can this be helpful when they don’t tell you the words or letters. The sound icon is off but no sound. ### 5/5 — Stroke-Brain Injury *2018-09-20, version 4.0* My fiancé has a brain bleed and he is learning to talk again. This has been awesome for him. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-01-10, version 4.0* I got this first word app to help my son with lowercase letters ( He already new uppercase) in a fun way. I love how customizable the app is!
