My daughter can be a bit reluctant to practice letters and numbers but with this set it’s fun and interactive, she loves it! I love how it also helps to start reading and forming words, with options to play around and come up with your own letter and number combinations. We are huge fans. ### 5/5 — Great all-in-one learning app! *2022-01-22, version 1.0.8* We have been using Marbotic smart numbers and letters for a while, and I love the design of this new combined app. It’s easy to use for both me (changing settings) and my 5 year old. My 3 year old also started learning her letter sounds on this app and loves it. I love that you can add different kids within the app and switch between them easily. The app itself is pleasing to the eye, and the kids think it’s hilarious. The sounds are really lovely as well. The whole app is really well made, and I love that it pairs so well with Montessori. ### 5/5 — Our Kindergartner is loving her lowercase smart letters kit and activities *2021-12-15, version 1.0.4* Our 5-year-old is learning so much by herself using the app and the wooden letters. We love this interactive kit! The activities are perfectly designed to learn your letters, their shape, their sound, and teach you how to read in a fun way. Our daughter can write the alphabet in uppercase letters, but she is intimidated with the lowercase letters and reluctant to do tracing activities on paper. When we got the Lowercase Small Letters, she just jumped right in and is eager to play every day. Her older brother, 9, set everything up for her and is having fun playing too :) They laid all the wooden letters on the paper alphabet before starting, and have kept letters organized in order. Best educational toy! Makes a perfect gift for toddlers and students learning how to read and write. ### 5/5 — Great learning tool for 4yo *2021-12-10, version 1.0.3* My 4yo really enjoys learning and practicing her letters and numbers on the app, and having all the functionalities into one app is very convenient. Totally recommend it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscription Required *2023-03-08* After paying for the tiles, I realized that using the kit requires a separate monthly subscription for the “premium” app content. It’s a ridiculous money grab. ### 1/5 — Trop cher *2022-03-30* Une application très bien faite mais complètement inaccessible aux enseignants et aux parents à un prix si élevé. Dommage!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed. I wish I hadn’t purchased… *2022-03-30* I was originally VERY happy and excited when I purchased the Marbotic Smart Kit for my 2 year old. She loves learning and does so well with hands on activities so I thought I’d give this a go. It was quite a large upfront expense but I hoped she would use it for the next 3-4 years. Just over a month after purchasing and signing up, I receive notification that the app is now subscription based! This is ridiculous! After shelling out $100+ on the kit, I know have to shell out another $150+ annually or $25/month (so another $600 MINIMUM to get through the next few years)! Seriously considering trashing these as I wasn’t expecting such an enormous investment. SO disappointed. You will find me using Khan academy (for free) from now on. ### 1/5 — Says I need to pay more for premium *2021-12-27* Only have 3 apps the other 3 don’t work but my box says it’s included ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2021-12-24* The letter# are beautiful but we only have access to half of th3 apps without premium subscription. This was not transparent when I purchased letters. With the cost of letters full access should be included. ### 3/5 — Subscription? *2022-04-14, version 2.0.2* Why is there all of a sudden a 9.99 monthly charge? My son has had his for over a year now… same games for that whole year. So will there be updates monthly? I bought the letters and numbers and it’s stated that games were going to be included and now I had to pay? ### 4/5 — Super *2022-06-13* Mes élèves aiment beaucoup cette apps. ### 4/5 — Belle application *2022-05-27* Marbotic est une super application à utiliser avec des élèves de maternelle 4-5 ans. Mes élèves adorent utiliser Morbotic, le matériel est robuste, couleurs vives, manipulation facile, attrayant pour les élèves puisqu’il y a aussi du son et de l’animation. Petit bémol, lorsque j’ai acheté le matériel, l’application était gratuite et là elle est devenue payante. Donc c’est moins accessible pour tous et de plus, le budget dans les écoles étant limité, ça peut freiner certaines personnes à faire l’acquisition du matériel. ### 5/5 — Good app, no monthly$ anymore *2023-04-13* Solid product, good app, kids enjoy ### 5/5 — Watch This *2023-04-12* Hey, Marbotic! Watch this video I made for you! Join my school in codeSpark! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2022-12-31, version 2.0.14* This is the best educational toy I ever used in my 20+ years working with kids. I wish I knew about them sooner. My daughter is ahead of her game with preschool. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2022-06-06* I have been using this product with my daughter who is in preschool and my Grade 1 students. I love how versatile the games are- very interactive and engaging. I highly recommend this product as a parent and educator! This is now a staple in my classroom and my students ask to use it daily. ### 5/5 — Great for Special Education! *2022-06-01, version 2.0.7* I’m a Special Education Teacher for children with severe disabilities and I’ve been using Marbotic for about 6 years now. This app and the wooden manipulatives help my students with a variety of essential skills while making it fun for them. I use it as a rotation station and they can independently start using because it’s easy and intuitive for them. Even my non-verbal students try imitate the sounds and have a blast! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2022-05-30* I’ve been using the application a little over a week and I’m loving the content. It’s easy to use and really motivating for my students. The quality is great, which helps when working with little ones. I’ve integrated it in my stations and my students never want to leave that station and always want to start with that station first. Most of my struggling students are now successfully learning the concepts they were having a hard time with. It’s definitely worth the price. ### 5/5 — Highly recommended! *2022-05-05, version 2.0.5* I am amazed by the quality of the wooden toys and how fun it is for the children to learn while playing! The interaction with the tablet allows the children to learn independently, this is priceless for a busy mom! I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2022-05-05, version 2.0.5* We are a French family living in the US and speak French at home. Our daughters (4 and 7 yo) go to US schools and we want them to learn how to read and write in French. My sister, teacher in kindergarten in France, uses Marbotic everyday, and she offered them the Letters kit. My daughters love to play&learn with Marbotic! We appreciated that we could choose between different languages. The app is interactive, well design. The wooden letters is perfect as we try to reduce plastic waste. We deeply recommend Marbotic to your kids! ### 5/5 — Learning made fun *2022-04-28, version 2.0.5* My Kindergartner is learning how to read. We use the marbotic app to help her with the 25 sight words she needs to know. We use the Smart kit: 26 letters and 10 numbers. The app is fun and keep her engaged with the interacted wooden toys. ### 5/5 — Great educational and fun app *2022-04-24, version 2.0.4* My pre-k and kindergarten children love playing the games in both English and Spanish. I think it’s a great support to what they learn at school while they have fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
