8 of 25It's hard to get my son to concentrate on learning while playing this game. It is much more fun to pick out silly words to make the scene look amusing then to actually pick the correct word. This game also allows for the child to have unlimited access to a sticker page. There is nothing about the application that pulls him back into the actual process of learning
My 2.5 year old son and I both love this app for him! He is loving playing with it while using it to practice finding letters by both name and by the sound they make, forming letters (tracing them with his finger), and even a little reading with choosing one out of two words for sentence completion and rhyming identification (although he can't read, he is hearing the words said aloud while paired with the written word in front of him- so very helpful for teaching him.) I totally recommend this app for preschoolers or precocious two year olds who are interested in letters and words. We use it on the iPhone 4S and the sound works great!!
It's good but the game almost seems under developed
This would be a good game, if it didn't crash. Bought for my daughter and she gets confused because she is doing the right thing but the game freezes on her. Wish I saw the other person's review first. Seriously App Store should give refunds.
My intelligent 3.5 yo twins really like this app. Sound works fine.
On iphone 6 and it keeps freezing up. Tried to get on iPad and it wants me to pay again:( I didn't and I won't. My daughter seems to enjoy the app when it's not frozen.
Love the premise of the app but the non-stop theme song music is driving me CRAZY! I can't find a music off option and you need to listen to the sound to hear what the characters want you to do.
I just downloaded this app for my 2 year old, an there is no sound. What did I pay $2.99 for? Please fix it.
