Amazing

I first purchased this app for my 5 year old autistic daughter she did very well with it and it really helped her learn new words. I now use it with my son 20 months he loves it and has learned new words quite quickly

Great for learning

Great app for young kids. My young daughter enjoys playing with it. Benefits- they learn lots of words, spellings and helps develop motor skills

For preschool/early exposure to reading

I bought this for a kindergartner expecting it to be early reading sentences/books that increased in difficulty. It's actually aimed at those JUST starting to put letters together /beginning to understand words. Perhaps if the child was not previously in an academic preschool program /parents had not yet started early reading/child had learning delays etc the description would be appropriate --that is the 5 and younger age would be appropriate. For most kids with any preschool background this is way too babyish for 5. Regret spending $10 on app. It should be marked as a 3-4 yr old early preschool app. If your child already has a good beginning grasp on letters even at two they might be able to use. This is not intended for those that can already read, even if only very short books.

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 truly MOSTLY enjoy this App.

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.

Languages

It only comes with the English version. Unlike the sampler that has a few different languages I was upset this only offers English.

Response from developer

First Words Professional now supports five languages: Spanish, French, German, and Japanese, as well as US and British English. You select the language on the Options screen.

Great for toddlers!

My 3 yr old daughter loves this app!

French

I wanted a French version and i made a mistake

Response from developer

First Words Professional now includes French, as well as Spanish, German, Japanese,and US and British English. You select the language on the Options screen.

3-year-old loves it and is learning her letters, shapes, numbers

My 3-year-old not only had a great time playing with this app, she also started to learn from it. I was quite amazed at how quickly she was picking up some of the letters and numbers. Great job Learning Touch!

The best phonics app I've found

I have tried many phonics apps and this is the best one I have found. So simple, so clever.

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.

Pro upgrade totally worth it

I have an autistic 5 year old that finally learned to use his iPad all because of this game. Fun and educational. Lots of great topics. Love the parental controls to have just the words you want to work on.
