User reviews

My students will love it!

We are learning about the letter A and I thought it would be good to talk about airplanes. This is the perfect app to keep my preschoolers with special needs engaged. I love the colorful pictures, the animations and the narrators voice.

2 year old loves this app

My son is turning 2 tomorrow and is obsessed with airplanes. He enjoys this app so much. He loves clicking the arrow to the next page and clicking on the planes and jets and helicopters and repeating the names back over and over again. His almost 5 year old sister enjoys watching along and helping, though he doesn't typically need any help. Great, colorful pictures! A tiny little airplane enthusiast's dream!

Two bucks you'll never get back

Disappointing. As a pilot, I was hoping for a fun app for my kids that incorporated a little more than just the very fundamentals. Graphics were lame, and I expected some education on parts of the aircraft and what they do - at the very least. This was utterly boring for my toddler, who is enamored with airplanes, but walked away after 20 seconds.

Meh

Great use of touch technology to make this book come alive!
