Amazing!!
I learned how to spell from this game!
My son's favorite!
He has played over and over. This app is educational. I take out one star because it is not easy to reset. I either have to remove and reinstall, or flip back 550 times to go back to the first card.
I love this app

delightfully challenging
My five-year-old and I are quite fond of this app. Too many of the flashcard, learn-to-read, learn-to-spell apps are only interactive insofar as the child flips to the next image by herself. There's nothing really pulling her attention directly to the word & how it's spelled. In this app, you get a single lovely image that fills the screen & a small jumble of letters. A voice names the image, which you are supposed to spell by touching the letters in the proper order. If you touch the wrong letter, there's a honking sound. When you touch the correct one, there's a chime & the letter pops to the bottom of the screen to help make a word. You cannot progress to the next image (& word) without spelling the word correctly.
The design is quite ingenious, and very simple to navigate. Every image has been turned into a tiny puzzle of letters which must be reassembled into a word. The reward is the word restated as a solution & a new image if you want one. The general effect is not flashy, spectacular, or surprising, but a quiet & gratifying slow mastery of words.
The update gives parents a whole screen full of options: whether to say the word before it is spelled, after it is spelled, play music, or make helpful sounds. Nice improvements.

Not worth the money, better free apps available
I was very excited about getting this app for my son but am sad to say it is a huge disappointment. It is NOT worth the money, better free apps are available. It has no personality, gives no positive reinforcement and has the same bland monotone voice throughout. I would like my money back. Beware of the nostolgic app!
