The app has just recently been updated with some stability improvements and bug fixes. It scores a solid 3.5 out of five stars from users but doesn't yet have any customer comments.

The Learning Experience

Because the Kindergarten Readiness app teaches through a variety of games and activities, kids won't feel as though it is school or some boring lesson. Instead they are busy having fun while they work on such skills as early literacy, early math, motor skills, cognitive development, social skills, and communication skills. What's great about the app is that it helps parents determine what areas their child is struggling and where help is needed. You can then focus on those areas and help them out before they even start school. The idea is that by the time they reach Kindergarten they will be ready.
