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 . ### 3/5 — Please *2019-10-13, version 1.6* We need this app on Android!!!!!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Great app just one change needed for the letter g *2019-05-18, version 1.6* My 4 year old loves the app but as an educator the developers need to change the letter ‘g’ to a gorilla or a goanna and not a giraffe. As giraffe and jaguar (j animal) start with the same sound even though they are different letters - confusing for young children. For beginning phonics ‘g’ should first be taught as making a ‘g’ sound as in gorilla. I hope the developers will take this feedback on board. ### 4/5 — Add this!!! *2019-03-31, version 1.6* Wouldn’t it be more fun with a feature for lowercase letters? Yes, you heard me, right? Capital letters may confuse some children so you can add lowercase letters! In the settings, there can be a Capital or Lowercase setting that changes the letters entirely, but in “Funny”, this isn’t the case. You can use both capital and lowercase letters while typing something in “Funny”. The button starts saying “Capital” but tap the button and it says “Lowercase”, and tap it one more time and it is back to saying “Capital”, it will tell you what type of letter you are using. You can also add numbers ! They will be black and won’t transform into anything other than a ball, and back to normal. They will also say how to spell the numbers when they transform in the menu, like in the Russian edition , Ъ, Ы, and Ь won’t transform into an animal when you click them. ### 3/5 — Crashes a lot *2017-01-10* My kids really like this app. It's eye-catching colors and animation are super cool and keeps my babies entertained while they learn their abc's. However, this app crashes so much. I have had to restart it about 10 times before giving up. ### 5/5 — This app took some work *2017-01-08* Very cool clay animation. Keeps the kids interested. And in the main area from clicking the play button the kids can talk when it pauses after the letter. It will record their voice then the animal will say what they said in their voice. The kids love it. ### 5/5 — My kids LOVE THIS APP *2016-10-14* Graphics are amazing and engaging. The repeat back feature makes my son laugh. Same feature as Talking Tomcat, but in a much more educational app. My 2 year old and 5 year old both love it. ### 5/5 — Educational and entertaining *2016-06-12, version 1.6* Amazing app with cute sounds and bright colorful graphics.So much fun for my kids they really love this app, especially my 2 year old daughter.

I have 2 classes of 30 kindergarners that love and beg to play this game. It is amazing and keeps them engaged for 30 minutes.

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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-01-01* I paid, we were very exited and as soon as we tried the app, did not work, no sound, no contact info ### 1/5 — Only one language ( *2019-01-14, version 1.6* Also disappointed with the narrator, very strong accent...otherwise great app, but unfortunately I won’t recommend it for my friends. ### 1/5 — Crashes before you can even get started *2016-12-24, version 1.6* We can't even get past the first menu. Select any option, it starts loading, then dies. I'd like my money back so I can buy an educational app that actually works. iPad3 iOS 9.3.5 ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2016-12-12* Currently on iOS 10.1.1 iPhone 6plus this app just crashes every time I try to use. It's a shame used to be a great app. ### 1/5 — Application does not work correctly in the first iPads *2014-10-17, version 1.4* Application with beautiful design and graphics, but does not work correctly in the first iPads (application sometimes turns off) ### 1/5 — Why?? *2014-06-11, version 1.4* Why pay for an app that keeps exiting, never allowing you more than 2 minutes after paying £2 for it. What a waste! ### 2/5 — Not downloading *2024-09-19, version 1.7* Why is it not downloading ### 2/5 — Sound not working *2023-07-27, version 1.7* Shame that the sound doesn’t work on this paid app!
