User reviews

Love it

Great use of screen time with 1-4 year olds. Love the interactive play.

Great app for beginning readers

Clean interface and easy to use

Excellent App

This app is amazing! My two year old loves the images for the sounds and likes to choose a different color scheme each day (her favorite is blue). This app is an easy and fun way to learn letters and even just using it 10 minutes a day is beneficial. Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Thank you! so glad it's working for you.

Excellent

The app design is so much more thoughtful than the typical frenetic overstimulation that dominates most kids apps. It’s really lovely and I really like that it’s grounded in good pedagogy
