I have another app that also utilizes music I think that would be helpful to add ### 4/5 — Great App *2015-11-04, version 1.0* My kids can easily learn core vocabulary words. As language learners, the visual cues help them understand in a more natural setting. They love it! ### 4/5 — Lots of variety to learn! *2015-11-03, version 1.0* This is a fun app and the levels start out really easy and build up quickly. The beginning level offers picture clues and the more advanced levels require reading skills to match definitions to a vocab word. I love how it offers a sentence with a word missing and you have to pick the best word to fit the sentence. I wish it had more vocab words and that it was geared for older elementary students. Otherwise it is a great app for younger students! ### 4/5 — B *2015-11-02, version 1.0* I like the concept of targeting key assessment concepts. There are visuals to match the vocab. Beginning concepts include vocabulary such as locate, describe, copy, etc. Students have the opportunity to earn coins and have two different methods in which to enjoy their rewards. I wonder if there was too much repetition at each level, or not enough variation. This made it feel a little tedious. It would be nice to know all of the concepts covered before deciding to buy. ### 4/5 — Sequential development *2015-11-02, version 1.0* Really enjoyed this app. The vocab is appropriate for the age range and what is being required at schools and it is taught in a manner that is easy for kids to grasp. It is sequential and repetitive with increasing complexity on each level. ### 4/5 — Great concept for an app—just add more words to it *2015-11-02, version 1.0* It’s a great idea……teaching vocabulary words with both the definition and a picture; matching the word to its illustration, finding the right definition (no pic,) and then applying it by using the appropriate word in a sentence. My 5 year old chuckled at the narrator’s voice, and went through each section in the free area. I just hope the developer, in future updates, adds more words rather than uses the same ones over and over and over again in each session. The fact that each word is used from recognition to use in context helps enough. There are games to be played as well as things to be bought at the store with the money earned for correct answers while playing the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
