Best iphone and ipad apps
Because there are two learning modes (sound and letters) the app always feels fresh and fun. Parents will be glad to know that not only will the kids be able to play on their own but there is no in-app purchases needed.
Features
Features of this app include learning about each of the letters in the alphabet. The letters are all animated and feature clay art, giving it a fun and almost retro feel.
In total there are 26 animated animals in talking mode and there is even an alphabet song that will have kids singing along and tapping their feet. Each of the talking characters has its own individual voice, there are puzzles to play with animated animals, and there are a variety of other educational games.
The app supports Retina display. The goal of this app is not only to take children through the alphabet but also teach them about letter recognition so that over time they are better and faster at recognizing the letters. While this app is recommended for kids age two to seven it’s best for young children; preschoolers is really the target age.
If your child hasn't yet started school this is a great way to get a jump start on learning the alphabet.
In-App Purchases
There are no in-app purchases.
Update Info
Version 1.2 features some minor bug fixes including a bug fix in the puzzles, and all the social networking elements have been removed (gift app, Twitter, and Facebook). These were removed to keep children's activities private and you can now allow them to play without worrying about what buttons they're pressing.
Customer Ratings and Feedback Comments
The current version of the app has 49 customer ratings with an average rating of five out of five stars. Parents can't get enough of the graphics, animations, and of course the educational aspect of the app. They like that the user interface is kid-friendly and it's a great way to entertain kids and prevent them from getting bored.
Personal Comments by Reviewer
I let my young child play with this app and was quite pleased to find not only was he interested in it but it sparked discussions about words and the letters needed to create the words. The animations are extremely high-quality, there are a lot of fun elements that kids can explore, and they are able to work the app completely on their own.
