Bug on scooter page
My 4 year old likes this game but whenever he spells scooter it crashes.
Great!
Free amazing my two year old and 5 year old are learning and they think it’s a treat! I can’t believe it’s free my eldest who is 8 has a disability it’s helping her under stand letters so I recommend this app
Incomplete
The app itself has a nice layout, however it has inherent problems that are restricting and distracting to kids.
1. Drag is unforgiving for kids. The kids are expected to drag it all the way.
2. Word assembly requires kids to gather letters in orderly fashion. For example, N-U-T must be placed in the same order left to right. Why not allow kids to build however order they like?
3. The tweety helper bird and the mouse are too distracting from the original intend of the game. It has so many weird functionalities when kids touch them which are totally not needed and distracting. Parents should be able to disable them in the preferences.
4. Other apps link should be accessible only parents.
My son enjoys it but he sees himself restricted and distracted by the arrangements of the app.

Great Program
Gives my daughter something todo that is educational and there are no hidden cost.
Needs one extra feature
I love this app for my daughter who is 13 and has a developmental disability. We want to recommend it to others in our community but it needs to have one additional feature before we can really spread the word. Please consider a setting that would allow us to turn off the requirement to “build a word” in letter order. Thank you!

Lack of excitement
Downloaded and tried it out myself before letting my kids use it. It is lacking some excitement. I think my kids will stop using it after 15 minutes, but will see...
Not very helpful
Children learn with lower case letters not capital letters. Waste of money
Can't handle multiple touches.
This app has a good concept but it's poorly executed. If you're dragging a letter around the screen and touch the screen with multiple fingers the letter flickers randomly between the multiple touches. Makes it almost impossible for my 2 year old to get the letter to the correct place. Other drag and drop games she plays do not have this problem so it's obviously fixable.

Inferior to alternatives; busy
And it has pop ups...
Great for spelling practice
I use this app for my ESL students who are working on spelling and phonics practice. I love the different options of words and that the kids can switch between the lower and upper case. The use of pronunciation for the letter sounds is great for the students and very helpful. Would highly recommend this app

Keeps freezing up?
Great concept of game and very vibrant colorful grapHics. But keeps freezing up and shutting down. App needs debugging.
Love this app
The app makes the child spell the word correctly and uses the phonics to say the word! My daughter loves it!
Sound issue!
This is a great app then the sound went off please fix by Thurs. I want to present this app to my Kindergarten team so we can use it in the classroom can not do that if there is no sound please fix thanks!
Learning is fun!
My toddler is learning to spell and having a great time doing it. Thank you for a wonderful app.

Three year old loves to play this almost as much as angry birds
My little boy loves this app. I just wish you could enter your own words.
4 levels of play that will keep my kids learning through age 6
This game has four levels. My 2-year-old can easily do levels 1 & 2 (dragging scrambled letters to thier matching counterpart and making a word). My 4-year-old, who's learning to read now, enjoys level 3 which only gives you the letters but no other hints on how to spell the word. I'm glad there's another level after this to keep challenging her. In general, the app is a great reinforcer for letter recognition, spelling and reading development. This app is WELL worth $1.99.

LOVE this app!
My 2 year old daughter loves this app...and I love it because it's teaching her letter recognition, etc. There are similar drag and drop spelling programs out there, but none have the fun of this one..as soon as we downloaded it she completely ignored all of the other ones we had installed! I love that the game sounds out the word after it's spelled and the constellation star game after they've spelled a few words correctly is great..I think that's what keeps my daughter coming back for more. We have almost all of the DDM apps and as far as I am concerned, this one is another home run!

Almost Perfect!
What We Liked:
Word Wagon is a fast favorite of my five-year-old and even my three-year-old likes to take the red wagon out for a spin! The playfulness of this app is found in the character interactivity, when tapped they say several different things – many humorous, and Moz can even put on special shoes that make him run faster through the available words. The fluid, child friendly navigation means that children feel entirely in control of the learning experience. They can change the topic their words come from, they can have Moz run past any words they don’t wish to spell There is no list of words they MUST conquer, instead this is a playful, friendly exploration of spelling that is very developmentally appropriate.
The colors and characters are both charming and engaging – this is one app whose play value just never seems to run out!
What We Didn’t Like:
Word Wagon is only a half-step away from being perfect for children just being introduced to words in my opinion. I like that there is a phonics component built into this app, but it would be perfect if on the phonics level (level 2), the letters would actually prompt Coco to say their phonetic sounds when tapped rather than their names. That would make the connection between phonemes and spelling with them a lot clearer.
Overall:
Word Wagon HD is a fun and playful introduction to words and how letters come together to form them. Ideal for familiarizing young children with the names of many common objects and their spellings, this educational app is one your children will count as a favorite.
Disclosure: I received a promo code to download this app for free. All opinions are honest and my own.
