Response from developer
You're right that First Words Professional is primarily for the youngest kids and kids with special needs -- those who are learning their letters, letter sounds, and how letters form words. We're glad you see how well it would work for those children! We would certainly put it in a "3 or 4 and under" category if one existed, but the "5 and under" category is created by the App Store, and we don't have any way to change that. We appreciate the feedback, and will look for ways to improve the app's description next time we post an update.
First Words Professional
I enjoy it for its breadth of word coverage and clearly enunciated words and letters. It is a 1st rate app, save for one vexing flaw.
When the narrator is individually identifying the letters he is actually saying 'd' instead of 'e' when the letter is first selected. At first I thought I was hearing it wrong but he is in fact CLEARLY saying 'D'. After the letters are correctly placed on the tiles he pronounces the 'e' correctly but i must tell you. This app is ten dollars and I am using this for my 2 year old who is by definition, quite impressionable. I DON't care to have my kid confused in such a fashion.
Thus every time i hear the announcer say 'D' instead of E, it's like someone scraping fingernails against a chalkboard. If this app were .99cents I could live with it, or at the very least not be as irritated as I am now.
I could live w/ it if I were making such a mistake on 'x' or 'w' but the 'e' is the most frequently used letter in the alphabet! Frankly, until THIS error is fixed I can't recommend this product and I will very likely call for a refund until such time as it has been corrected. When it is fixed this will literally be a perfect app but until then... It's like buying a Ferrari with one of the wheels missing. Of course it's an awesome car but, CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THIS TIRE SO THAT I CAN GET ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response from developer
What an interesting comment! I'm sorry that you hear it this way. Millions of kids are using First Words, and you are the only person ever to report this problem. I just listened again, and it sure does sound like "E" to me. In fact, we use the same sound file for the letter names (or phonics) before and after the letters are placed on the tiles. I realize you made this comment some time ago. We are only now able to respond. We hope you were able to enjoy your use of the app and appreciate that you liked other parts of it.

3-year-old loves it and is learning her letters, shapes, numbers
The best phonics app I've found
The reason I haven't given it 5 stars is that I use the phonics option (rather than the letter names option) and the phonics option has fewer words (around 90) than the letter names opiton (over 300). I understand that not all words can be read easily using 'simple' phonics, but I just think that the description of the app should have how many phonics words were included. And since the number of words is considerably lower, perhaps they could have created a phonics only app and sold it for a fraction of the price.
