This is good

I like it because it is good and fun.

Awesome Learning App!

My son is almost 4, he's autistic and loves letters. We've been told he'll probably learn to read and or spell before he is able to talk.
1. The app is easy to get the letters to snap correctly. Other apps are too precise and it causes frustration.
2. You can change the settings so that you can spell in any order or in order. After a while I switched it over to in order and my son has since mastered this spelling things like Pentagon or triangle or other big words in less than a couple seconds.
3. Just discovered you can toggle the hints. Now we've turned it up a notch. He has to spell the words from memory and in order.
4. When you tap the picture of the word you have to spell it says the name of the object out loud so they can also associate the sounds with the order of letters.

This app is well worth the money! The art and animation are very basic but that's OK because our goal is identification of the sounds, spelling, and further driving the recognition of letters.

Have had the app for about 1 year now.

Love it!

I got this app to help teach my son his lowercase letters (already knew uppercase) in a fun way. I love how customizable the app is! In a short time my son has learned many of these words.

Love this app for early literacy skills!

In settings there is an option to make the user spell from left to right. Everytime you select a letter, the app says it and then will spell the word and pronounce it. My three year is definitely engaged and will repeat the letters along with the app!

Simple but (therefore) attention-grabbing

4 thumbs UP! (2 from me, 2 from the kid)

Our 3.5-year-old will easily sit half an hour playing this game (he would keep going if I'd let him). I like its simplicity without extra fluff. All the setup options are very intuitive and straight forward too. Our son kept picking letters out of order, and it was bugging the OCD in me. So I went to settings, and there it was, the "left to right" option. Tada!

We've only played the shapes category so far, but I like the variety that goes beyond the regular, way too common geometric shapes.

Having the Japanese option was actually the determining factor for us, and I would think any parents who are raising their children in one of the optional languages would really appreciate the multi-lingual function.

We had the free version for a long time but now that our son is really picking up on letters and sounds, we decided to get the full version even though I knew the app was old with no updates of late. But lo and behold, I was pleased to see that it was just updated a month ago! Yay!

The animation and the drawings are very basic, which can be improved, I suppose. I do however like the bold (again, simple in a good way) colors.

Not multilingual as promised :(

I was invited to upgrade to the Deluxe version after being really impressed by the multilingual tag on the sampler app (it said available in 5 languages!) but sadly this expensive version in only in English - Very disappointing :(

Disappointing

This version has awful (simple) graphics. Also, the bulk of the vocabulary is three-letter words, which are front-loaded at the beginning of the list. Further, you cannot randomize the word sequence, meaning you have to go through the three-letter words over and over again before you get to the longer-words. My little guy gets bored when he sees the same words over and over again.

Response from developer

Actually, the word order is an option that you set from the Options screen. You have the choice of shortest-to-longest, alphabetical, or random. We agree that it would be boring to always start with the same few words!

Just wow

Thanks to this app my 2 year old knows her abcs upper and lower case. She spells everything on sight. We try to keep her time limited to electronics. It's nice to have a good educational app for when she does use it.

Absolutely great learning game!!!!

My 18 month old loves this game! So easy for him and saying the letters helps his abc's tremendously!! We upgraded and so glad we did! Would love to see a section for fruits too. Love this game for my toddler!

Fun and encouraging

My 2 year old daughter loves this game. It is amazing to see her put the letters in the right spot.

Responsive and Fun with lots of Options

Great app with logical parental controls and many options. With or w/o hints, short, long or random length words, force left to right or random. My son has "graduated" through the different options and chooses this app over others. It's easy to understand what to do, good feedback for errors, quick response when touching and dragging the letters. Also offers categories for what words you spell, i.e. home, colors, animals, etc. Or choose all words and get random mix. Nice options to keep the game fresh or growing with the child.
It's really worth it to get the Deluxe version. App works the same on iPad and iPhone and my son doesn't care which device he's on as long as he can play. The biggest thing is he is spelling these words outside of the app now and isn't that the point? Win.

Teaches kids to sight read! Great app!!

My three year old loves this app and is now able to spell and read words! It's amazing. What 3 year old knows how to read "Zamboni"? Mine does! XD

Amazing!

I got the sampler, then upraded to the full version. Totally worth the money. My son goes back to this app over and over!!

Awesome app

My 4yr old loves this app. He is non verbal so this app has helped him expand his understanding of more words.i say a color and he goes and looks for it on this app very happy with this purchase.
