Awesome!

Fun!

Great way to learn letters

Great game for learning letters. My almost 3-yr old has already gotten better with her letters after just a few days. No issues on the iPhone. BUG: on iPad the first coconut disappears when you tap the second coconut. Can't figure out how to report the bug to the developer.

Great app

That's really great app

Wonderful kids literacy app! And free to boot!

Just downloaded this app for my preschooler and she can't stop playing it! It's the classic memory game with three different game options -- one matches lower case letters, one matches upper case and one is more advanced for matching words that rhyme.

I like that you can start with upper case words (which is what kids learn first), and then move on to master lowercase and sound alikes. I was pleasantly surprised that this free game has these great leveling options for my kids -- my younger one can have as much fun as her older sister.

If you like this game, you should also check out the paid app for another great PBS kids show, Super Why, for other fun reading and literacy games.
