### 3/5 — $2.99 for bare minimum

*2019-01-13, version 7.1*

You get a set of animal words for your child to spell for the initial $2.99, but must pay for all other word sets/games. Each one is sold separately.

### 4/5 — Learning tool

*2015-02-10, version 4.6*

It's a great app for children who are learning about sounds and music, colors, and numbers.
It's a fun way to introduce apps to young children without the bombardment of ad cycles and ad knowledge of what you shop for.

### 4/5 — I use it with my 3yr old

*2014-04-05, version 4.6*

She loves it and the only oversight I provide is due to concern with her playing with my iPad.

### 4/5 — Pas mal

*2013-06-25*

Pas mal du tout
Manque juste la gestion des phonèmes
Parfois qq images ne sont pas pertinentes (loup debout, aigle debout dans le ciel, etc)

*2013-05-01, version 4.6*

This app is great! My 19 month old son has learned letters and animal sounds within 2 weeks of playing this app! He already uses it without the letter hints! Keep up the good work! I plan on adding more of your apps to our collection!

### 5/5 — Great App for the grandkids

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-05-29, version 4.6*

I bought this for my 2.5 yr old. Firstly, it is a shame it doesn't give the phonics of each letter as this is the best way to teach toddlers the sounds of letters. It is a very simple app and perhaps too simple and therefore boring. My toddler only gave it a go for less than a minute. A waste of money.

### 1/5 — Great for Special Needs Kids & Pre-K

*2012-03-31, version 4.1*

My special needs daughter loves it. Teaches letters, words, fine motor skills, and matching. Highly interactive, with positive reward (instant gratification). We play it daily. I wish more educational apps were as good as this one! Opportunities for improvement would be to add a second level that would join words into short sentences and/or to create sight word stories after completing every 5 words. Perhaps this could be an option, that could be activated as the child starts to develop past the level of the current game.

### 1/5 — 音が出ません！

*2012-03-08, version 4.1*

鳴き声が可愛いと、レビューにあったのに...、音が出ません。
何故？？？

### 1/5 — Poor coverage for phonics

*2012-02-15, version 4.1*

If you are teaching your child with phonics (the sound of the letters rather than their name), you can set this in the app options. However, what isn't made clear is that this limits you to three letter words only. I'll be requesting a refund. Otherwise it's nicely done.

### 1/5 — Phonics first

*2010-07-15, version 0*

Children learn to read by understanding the letter sounds before they are introduced to the more complex issue of letter names. The reason for this is so that they can experience the relationship between what they say and what the read. This App uses letter names against all the best educational advice and so is really just a novelty game rather than a useful, engaging reading tool.

### 1/5 — Firstwords

*2010-06-11, version 0*

I bought this as I'd searched for 'phonics' but as far as I can tell it doesn't use phonics so i am v disgruntled!

### 1/5 — ？

*2009-11-09, version 0*

起動できない！なんでかな？

### 1/5 — Over hyped waste of money

*2009-04-11, version 0*

This is not the powerful educational tool  it is advertised as. It uses only letter names not sounds (phonics) and only uses capitals. Which means kids will have to start from scratch once at nursery or school. Read in a bad American version of an English accent using zee instead of zed or zzz. 

The ap has a nice feel and is intuative to use, the animations are limited and repetative. 

For me a waste of money and will be deleted.

### 2/5 — I’m just

*2026-05-09, version 8.2*

Q

### 2/5 — not enough

*2011-05-14, version 4.0*

for £1.19 i expected a lot more words. It also only has single phonics sounds and no consonant blends like "fr" for frog.

it says 45 words, but when you go to phonics mode you only get about 15 words.

### 5/5 — Great for letter learning and blending

*2022-10-07, version 8.1*

Really nice simple reinforcement and learning of letter sounds. My kids could play it before they knew the letters, helping them become familiar with the sounds to letter, and then now they can read it’s great to help reinforce the letter sounds and how they blend to make words. Would be great if it has more than about 20 words, but it covers I think all the letters. Thanks!

### 5/5 — My one year old loves this app.

*2017-08-19, version 7.0*

He is learning words and having fun at the same time

### 5/5 — My 2 year old loves this app

*2016-04-15, version 7.0*

My 2 year old daughter loves this app!

### 5/5 — Daughter loves this!

*2015-09-28, version 4.6*

Had purchased this game for my two children, especially my 4 year old daughter who has a speech and language delay.
It has helped her greatly with her learning and she enjoys playing it every day!
Thank you so much for this wonderful app and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a child in need of a little extra TLC with their education.

### 5/5 — amazing app

*2014-03-19, version 4.6*

my 16 months old baby girl love this app..worth buying for...

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2013-12-02, version 4.6*

My two year old son loves this app is very good.

### 5/5 — Great for 2 year old

*2013-09-20, version 4.6*

My daughter loves this game. She's happy, I'm happy.

### 5/5 — Excellent app for my 1 year old!

*2013-07-09, version 4.6*

My son is 16 months and this is his favorite app. It took some practice to first drag the letters, but within an hour he was blazing through the animals set and I purchased the other first words apps for him. He sits quietly and plays with these, clapping when he completes a word and saying each letter. Other apps do not hold his attention for more than 2 or 3 minutes. I couldn't be more pleased with this one!
