### 1/5 — It’s broken

*2026-01-22*

This is my sons favorite app.  After the new update for iOS this will no longer work after you move to another app and come back.  It has to be closed then opened. Unfortunately my son is disabled and doesn’t understand this.  I’ve reached out to the developer but haven’t heard back. I assume they are no longer supporting this app.  I thought I’d use this to try to get some attention.  It was great and 5 stars.  Now it’s a 1.  I’ll update my review if it gets fixed

### 5/5 — Talking abc

*2025-11-15, version 1.7*

Jutiful

### 5/5 — Based on the Comics

*2025-10-24*

Talking ABC…, is based on the Comics Series written in English. It is one of my favorite Comics in the world! There are 300 comics in this comic series, all written in English. Goodbye.

### 5/5 — Jesse

*2024-10-17, version 1.7*

The most

### 2/5 — Not downloading

*2024-09-19, version 1.7*

Why is it not downloading

### 5/5 — App needs language settings!

*2024-07-07*

I cannot change languages so could you add that in settings?

### 4/5 — Yaks and Yetis

*2024-06-22*

No offense mame , but I’d prefer you use a yak for the letter Y then a yeti . It just may confuse younger kids . The unicorn is okay cuz I’ve seen a lot of animal alphabets use that for U . But I’d wonder if you could update this app and keep the unicorn but change the yeti to a yak . That’s what I have to say .

### 2/5 — Sound not working

*2023-07-27, version 1.7*

Shame that the sound doesn’t work on this paid app! Very disappointed kiddo…

### 5/5 — Great for toddlers!

*2022-09-17*

Our baby is not even 2 and knows the whole English and Ukrainian alphabet playing with this app. Well done!

### 1/5 — Disappointed. Does not give examples to copy

*2022-01-09, version 1.6*

The back of the box indicates that by downloading the app there will be some instructions to follow for kids to make animals etc. Instead this is an alphabet learning app. No use for my 7 year old
