### 5/5 — Engaging App for All Ages

*2014-02-05*

I purchased this app so that my son would be able to speak fluently in Spanish. He loves it and has learned so much in such a small amount of time. It engages him & keeps his attention for a longer period of time. He has many games & apps but this is the one he CHOOSES to play constantly. I've even started using it for my 11 month old!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-02-04, version 2.8.3*

My son loves it!

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2014-02-04, version 2.8.3*

Perfecta aplicación para mis niños. Especialmente el pequeño que esta aprendiendo a leer. Le encanta gus.

### 5/5 — This is the one!

*2014-01-23, version 2.8.3*

I have been looking for good apps to teach my son Spanish. He seems to really like this one. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great language app

*2014-01-11*

Love it - clear pronunciation and very intuitive. Would definitely recommend for kids, but works great as a new-language introduction even for adults.

### 5/5 — My favorite!

*2014-01-05*

This app is my favorite for learning and practicing Spanish vocabulary with my son. It is so much fun, engaging, as well as really helpful. The owl is adorable! This app was made with so much thought put into it, I can tell, because it uses a really effective teaching method, my son has learnt a lot of words with it. The app is easy to use and is not boring at all, my super energetic kid loves it and can sit for a while doing the activities. I highly recommend this app for kids learning Spanish. It is definitely worth the price!

### 5/5 — My son loves this app

*2013-11-27*

Bought this app for my son to learn a little bit of Spanish. He loves it! His favorite word is currently "las uvas" and says it all the time. Hopefully, I'll get to use my iPad again, one of these days.

### 5/5 — My kid loves this game

*2013-07-14, version 2.0.0*

Engaging, fun, irresistibly cute! Great learning game for kids from toddlers on up!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-03-05, version 2.0.0*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Bilingual Family

*2013-01-08, version 2.0.0*

This game is great! All the little games and rewards are very fun for my 4 yr old. My older children love it too. Great basic vocabulary. Worth it!

### 5/5 — great intro to spanish vocab

*2012-11-12, version 2.0.0*

As a Spanish teacher and a mom, I think this is a great introduction to Spanish vocabulary, and the games do a great job of keeping my kids interested!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-10-19*

Not for kids has no sound for them to actually learn how to say the words.

### 1/5 — don’t waste ur money

*2025-10-10*

worst app ever not worth the four dollars half the time there’s no sound

### 1/5 — mrs

*2025-10-08*

I was charged 399+ tax for this app and it does absolutely nothing. It’s everything is locked. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — No content after paying for the App!

*2024-10-09*

I just bought this for $3.99 and there’s only one lesson with 5 Spanish words for barn animals. All other lessons are locked! Please advise or refund money!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2018-08-25*

I just purchased this for my 2 year old who obviously cannot read but it does not have sound. What a waste of my money

### 1/5 — Bought Spanish, Got Italian?!

*2015-02-23, version 2.8.3*

The title says it all. I'm so disappointed because this looked like such a fun game for my daughter.  Now it's just a waste of money. :(

### 2/5 — Not great

*2016-05-16*

You don't get much for your money with this app. Payment only unlocked one game - there are free apps out there where you get a lot more and don't have to pay £2.99. Can't work out how to unlock other games either. Not that I want to as it could work out very expensive. A shame because the game itself isn't bad but not worth the money.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2020-07-28*

It’s ok but the fact that you have to pay for it , you get very little learning. I wouldn’t recommend, I was hoping this would have more lessons than the free Apps, it doesn’t.

### 4/5 — Wish it was harder to level up

*2015-04-12*

My 5 year old son flew through all 4 stages in an hour. I wish it took more effort to level up. They also unlock two vocab groups at a time. It would be a 5 star app if they would make it harder to go to the next level. That way they learn the vocabulary from the previous stage really well before being introduced to
new vocabulary.

### 5/5 — An easy and fun way to introduce Spanish

*2025-02-08*

My 7 year old started to use the app and so far he likes it. I initially had a problem because there was no sound. I sent a message and was impressed by how quickly they responded and helped me solve the issue.

### 5/5 — My kids love it - but very short

*2021-08-09*

It’s great for what it is, fun and engaging and effective. But there is very little vocabulary. I wish there were additional lessons or booster packs, I’d pay for them. My 7yo, who knew a little Spanish from school, finished this app in one afternoon.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-02-26*

Paid for the subscriptions and I’m happy with it! Perfect flow for learning.

### 5/5 — Perfect for toddlers/kids, fun and adapts to them

*2018-01-29*

My two-year-old daughter absolutely adores this app. It is helping her build foreign language vocabulary extremely quickly.  She is able to navigate and use it all on her own due to it’s very simple and intuitive interface. In each of four cities, the app is structured into learning exploration sessions which unlock progressively, each followed by a quiz in the form of a fun game.  There are four quiz/games in each city.  The app is smart in that it remembers which words she needs to work on and gives her more practice on those in the games.  She gets little trophies after the quiz/games, and she can see all of her trophies in the little trophy case available in the upper right hand corner on every city. Bronze, silver, and gold levels help the parents to see at a glance how the learning is coming along.  This is absolutely worth every penny and so much more, and is the best vocabulary building app for toddlers which I have found.  My sincerest thanks to the developer who put so much time and care into creating a wonderful language app for kids in this age range.

### 5/5 — Great language tool for kids

*2017-07-06*

My children started using this app very young and it is simple enough that they could navigate it on their own even at 2. They enjoy playing the app and watching them play helps me understand where they are in their language development. Great app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-09-28*

I love this app, great for expanding your vocabulary in Mexican Spanish, and fun games for kids

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2015-04-09*

I can't say enough good things about this app! Both boys (ages 3 & 5) love it. They've been learning a little Spanish, and this has been a valuable supplement to their education. What they like most: choosing what they can play, unlocking the levels, racing the horses, learning new words. What I like: great review for the older one and perfect learning tool for the younger one. It reinforces and builds on the new vocabulary in a fun way. Clean, organized and creative--responsive and helpful tech support. Best part is the kids actually know the words now.

### 5/5 — Great supplement for Homeschooling!

*2014-11-07*

I have been looking for more ways to keep my 4 and 8 year old engaged in language learning and have been so pleased to find such a fun way for them to learn Spanish!

### 5/5 — interesting and engaging

*2014-06-19*

My 6 year-old thought that this was wonderful. He was very engaged in the program, repeatedly came back to it for more and was able to use what he learned with me. This program is good for pre-readers or those just learning how to read.

### 5/5 — excellent for everyone!

*2014-02-06, version 2.8.3*

very easy to navigate, very pretty, and I love the fact that it’s progressive. It has a very cool map that reminds me of Super Mario Brothers 3. I highly recommend this app!
