Great for a 1year old

This is a very simple application, cleanly designed with appealing graphics, but effective. Great introductory learning app for babies that know the alphabet and ready to use a tablet or phone.

It has 2 parts: Letter matching pairs and the alphabet song.

Pros:
* Phonetic mode (most common sound of a letter) is available, learning the letter sounds is probably the best way to ready children for reading
* The alphabet song can be set to phonetic mode as well, only app that seems to have it
* The letter case of matching pairs can be customized

Cons:
* Baby learned the phonetic sounds of the letters so fast, she moved to First Words Pro, a pricy but worthwhile app.
