She can easily know them if she has the other one next to it to give her a hint. Wish they had flash cards with single letters on them. The tracing will be handy though. ### 3/5 — Fair *2018-11-10* Only lets child trace letters to letter H then screen goes black and rockets show up. Rest of alphabet does not come up. ### 4/5 — Great but no small letter tracing? *2017-02-03* Please add small letters to the tracing ### 4/5 — Great *2016-12-01, version 2.3.1* Great app for kids learning to write and identify letters. ### 2/5 — Glitch *2016-01-10, version 2.3.1* Cannot finish tracing the letter E. But tracing the first four letters is just fine. Wish the app worked for the whole alphabet. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — No letter sounds *2015-10-23* This app is ok for letter names and forming letters. However it could be greatly improved if there were also letter sounds as children need to learn these before the names. ### 4/5 — Great except for letter K *2015-10-10, version 2.3.1* I love everything about this app except for uppercase letter K. The placement of the bottom half of the K is incorrect. It should connect at the middle of the first line wrote/drawn. Hoping it is fixed as I bought this app to help my child with his handwriting and his name begins with, guess what letter...K! ### 2/5 — Not happy *2015-07-09, version 2.3.1* No sound! Completely disappointed! ### 3/5 — O is for Owl??? *2015-03-17* I bought the full version of this app because I was so impressed with the preview, especially for tracing and matching letters. Then we got to the letter flash cards and the words for each of them. For letter o, instead of choosing octopus or octagon, o is for owl. Apparently an educator was not the designer of this game because when teaching a young child letter recognition, the letter should be associated with its common sound. Then we have x is for xylophone. Everyone does it, but it's such a mistake. X should be for box or fox. I hope the game designers see this review and think about updating the flash cards with more appropriate words and sounds. Then it would be a 5 star review for me. ### 5/5 — Absolutely worth the money! *2014-12-31, version 2.3.1* I had the free version of this and it's such a wonderful app I had to buy it. Purchased both the numbers and letters app. Both of my toddlers love the games and don't even realize they are learning. ### 3/5 — Freezing and running slow *2014-12-03, version 2.3.1* Please update ### 5/5 — My two year old LOVES this *2014-08-07* Two year old loving letters.... Perfection! ### 3/5 — Merely okay *2014-07-06, version 2.3.1* The star feature of this app is the handwriting practice, and that part is perfectly fine. However, the flashcards section is very frustrating for my two year old daughter. Often when she taps the flashcard to flip it over, it reads the input like she's sliding her finger to a different screen, so it changes all the flashcards rather than flipping it over. I have the same problem. Way too sensitive. If they fix it, it might be a little more useful. ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2014-05-26, version 2.3.1* Excellent app for my three year old! Easy to learn, educational and my daughter loves the fireworks that signifies she "wins" I bought the full app because she loves it so much. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-09-08* Why is the full version not tracing after letter A? ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2016-08-05, version 2.3.1* The app keeps freezing before we can trace through the entire alphabet. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-10-07, version 2.3.1* I would not even give it a star ### 1/5 — Capital i looks like lower case L *2014-10-29* Capital i and lower case Look the same which is confusing when learning for little ones. Capital J needs to have a stroke across the top in the same way a T does. ### 1/5 — Tracing does not work properly *2014-09-11, version 2.3.1* Unless the letter is traced neatly which most little kids cannot do, the tracing stops/freezes. App not recommended. ### 1/5 — No Sound *2014-01-10, version 2.3.1* It would be nice if the sound worked. However, my daughter does like the app. Like the other reviewer said, if sound worked, it would be five stars from me as well. ### 1/5 — Sound still not working *2014-01-08, version 2.3.1* Five stars if sound worked. ### 1/5 — Letter tracing not working *2013-10-22, version 2.3* App was great then letter tracing stopped working. It still works for uppercase but not lowercase. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Terrible, terrible, terrible... *2013-10-20, version 2.3* The tracing portion of the game is terrible and wholly inappropriate for toddlers with developing motor skills. Tried it first myself with reservations in the trace function( the point if this app) The navigation throughout the app makes no sense and I wonder if children were even considered in the development of this waste of app space. Deleted and thanks for nothing. ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app *2013-10-13, version 2.3* It is a really great app... when it works. You never know whether it will work or not and if it doesn't you have a very frustrated toddler. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — :) *2023-12-01* My child really loves all your games and your mascots. Especially the baby named Timmy on the Home Screen. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — ADHD letter help! *2019-03-04* My 6yr old son was really struggling until we started using this app together. The robot sounds and vibrations it makes while he traces the letters and says the letter sounds out loud to me is jut what he needed to stay focused and be interested in doing the app. Now my 3 year old wants to be just like his brother and he is loving this app. They are different kids and while my now 3 yr old is all about learning his letters my 6 year old would never have used this app when he was 3. I am sooooo thankful for this App! ### 5/5 — I rarely write a review but! *2018-11-18* This tool works to teach how to properly write letter. I recommend it to parents. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-11-21* I am a Behavior Specialist in the schools district. I have witnessed children with very low cognitive levels and poor coordination master some of the exercises in the application. The joy and personal sense of accomplishment the child emits is gratifying. ### 5/5 — Great for preschoolers/ kindergarten students *2016-11-02* This app has been great in teaching both my boys how to correctly form letters. It's the best app I've come across. They love being rewarded by the classical music and fireworks. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-10-08, version 2.3.1* My son loves this app. He doesn't like flash cards.l but loves this interactive app. Teacher mode is a great feature. ### 5/5 — Very satisfied *2016-05-11, version 2.3.1* I love this app for my preschool class! It is a great way to support their beginning writing skills! I very rarely buy an app but I purchased this full version and it was worth it! They also have great customer service when encountering any problems!! ### 5/5 — Found them! *2016-04-27, version 2.3.1* I found them! ### 5/5 — Great App *2016-04-25, version 2.3.1* I'm a professional tutor who often works with pre-k kids. This app is easy for them to use, provides instant feedback on responses, and has four different approaches to teach letter recognition and letter sounds. My device wouldn't play the sound. I sent an email to the designers ( there's a button for that!) and heard back from the very quickly. Problem solved. Well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Great Educational Tool! *2015-06-07, version 2.3.1* My 3 year old LOVES this app! He loves the firework prize that you receive once you have traced the alphabet and he has actually started trying to write letters and has been successful at it due to this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
