"Wow... this one is an awesome problem solving app and great at teaching concepts such as colors, up and down, left and right." Endorsed by tens of thousands of satisfied parents, teachers, and kids the world over. Touch and Learn is a powerful new gaming platform that allows you to introduce new concepts in a fun and exciting new way. You can use Touch and Learn to teach basic concepts such as new shapes or advanced concepts such as colors or characteristics (e.g. big, bigger, small, smaller, etc.). The possibilities are truly endless and just up to your imagination. This game comes pre-loaded with hundreds of unique images to provide hours of learning and entertainment. What's unique about the Touch and Learn - What does not belong apps? The "what does not belong apps" do the opposite of the basic Touch and Learn applications. Instead of asking kids to find "the circle" or the "red square" the "what does not belong apps" display 4 images and require the child to identify the one item that is different. The difference could be due to the color, name of the object, type of object or concept being presented. This app can be challenging or easy depending on the difficulty that you select and is ideal for ages 2 to 4. FEATURES • Add your own voice - now your toddler can learn everything in mommy's or daddy's voice • Add your own items - take pictures of your child's favorite items to make the game more fun and personal • Add your own concepts - you can add an unlimited number of new concepts and associate them with any picture or item to add exciting new levels and hours of fun • Learn by sight, sound, and touch • Uses real, crisp photographs that are carefully hand picked and selected vs. cartoonish illustrations • Uses advanced algorithms that automatically makes the teaching of concepts fun and easy to grasp (i.e when teaching the concept of yellow circle, the app will present both a circle that is not yellow and another item that is yellow but is not a circle). • Fun & engaging voice artist keeps kids engaged • Dynamic game play adjust difficulty automatically to keep kids both challenged and entertained vs. getting bored. If you select progressive game play then the game starts with easy concepts (e.g. touch the circle) and proceeds to advanced concepts (touch the bigger circle) automatically. • Wrong answers do not interfere with gameplay, the child can immediately try again and touch the correct answer (most other games are too slow to keep kids interested by slowly repeating the desired question). • Multi-sensory learning tool - combining audio, voice, and written words • Don't like some of the existing items... no problem, just delete or turn them off to cover only what you like • Multi-language support - since you can edit existing items and add new items, you can record everything in your native tongue HEROIC SUPPORT Heroic Support is not just what we do.  It's really what makes us, well, us.  It's that drive to make a difference in your life - no matter how big or small.  Really, it's our way of life because we want you to be our customer for a lifetime of fun and learning.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ABA at 4.2 against My first puzzles's 1.0. ABA also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 1) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). My first puzzles's advantage is update cadence (every 14 months vs every 72 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
