## What is Touch, Look, Listen ~ My First Words?

* Winner of the Editor's Choice Award, Children's Technology Review *

Touch, Look, Listen will delight and encourage children as they learn their first words. It’s the perfect book app for parents and little ones to share, combining superb photographs, simple word labels and friendly narration. It's also great way for children to learn another language, with an option to add a second language that you'd like to see and hear. 

Touch, Look, Listen is just like a real board book. Each page is introduced by a playful rhyme, while bright and colorful images magically pop-up in each 3D scene. When little ones tap a picture, they see and hear the word for it, making this a powerful tool for learning new words as well as reinforcing those they already know. With the second language option, they can explore other languages too, including French, German, Spanish and Chinese. 

The book covers all the popular preschool subjects, grouped into 14 different categories. There are lots of familiar things to find and name, such as animals, vehicles and things around the home, along with key concepts such as numbers and colors.

### 5/5 — NO SOUND

*2019-11-09*

No sound. Waste of money

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are having trouble with our app. Normally problems with sound are due to the fact that the mute switch on the device is engaged. This can be a little confusing because not all apps obey the mute button, but ours do, so while you will be able to hear other apps, you would not be able to hear ours. 

All you have to do is toggle the mute switch which is located on the side of your tablet or smartphone. Once you toggle it you will hear sound again. If there is no mute button please slide up the menu from the bottom of the iPad screen to find the mute button icon. 

If you still cannot hear sound, please try the following: Go to Settings > General.  Under "Use Side Switch To" please ensure that the "Mute" option is selected, and not the "Lock Rotation" button. Then ensure that the Lock / Unlock setting is switched on (to unlock). You might have to restart your device afterwards. 

If that doesn't work please email us at support@touchress.com with the model and OS of your device.

### 1/5 — no sound

*2019-04-19, version 1.1.0*

disappointing to pay for an app, then to not have any sound... and it just says that the device is muted... it is not, all other apps have sound.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-03-11, version 1.1.0*

The sound does not work. I have checked and double-checked that my device is not muted. Without the sound, the app is just about useless for the age group it is intended for and not worth paying for. Extremely disappointed.
